There’s so much to prepare for during the Festive season. To take away some of the stress we’ve matched our pieces with typical events you might attend during the upcoming onslaught of social activity. You’re welcome.
Casual barbecue
As it’s warm everyone seems to be sending off invites to casual soirees in the backyard (or elsewhere). Dressing for this should be a breeze – anything loose and flowing to beat the heat.
You could wear some loose trousers and a free flowing, embroidered blouse; go a bit Bohemian. Don’t forget a big floppy hat and sunscreen to protect your skin.
You can make your ensemble a bit more festive using our Gold Paisley Pendant featuring a glorious ruby, and complimentary Gold Paisley Post Earrings.
These pieces are fun, not too snooty and easily translate to backyard/beach/park scenarios. But most of all they’re shiny, like the season. Yay!
Office party
Most office parties have a smart casual dress code. We’d recommend playing it safe and going for a little black dress. Basic black will also be your friend should you spill anything on it.
If that sounds a bit too plain for you, how about dressing it up with the Golden Drop Necklace and matching earrings? They scream festive and will show you are ‘getting into the spirit’ with your workmates. You may even win the best-dressed award.
If your ends of year ‘do’ calls for fancy dress you can always save this look for an end of year lunch or Christmas dinner, just be careful not to get your drops in the soup.
Cocktail party
Vintage dress shops are a safe haven for the sartorial splendid for most special occasions, but especially during festive season.
If you’re expected somewhere posh a '50s cocktail dress will fit the part with an added bonus: you can usually guarantee no one else will have what you’re wearing.
Our Chandelier Earrings with Pearls will add to the elegance of your frock. You could match them with the understated Fretwork Heart Pendant. These pieces will work with most garments, no matter what the colour.
Top it off with a bright parasol to add dash of colour, Adele-style eyeliner and you’re ready to go.
And don’t forget – we offer free delivery in Australia on all pieces. You won’t even have to face the Silly Season crowds. How’s that for stress free shopping?
Whatever your choice, may you have fun accessorising.
We wish you the best of the season. May your time with family friends and colleagues be merry and bright, like our jewellery.
