Comfy Christmas Glamour

Sorry, but I pretty much have nothing on my mind but Christmas at the moment. This is mostly my fault as apart from decorating my house I have done nothing. No presents, no food, nothing. Eeek!

I am one of those people who gets into things like Christmas. I want Christmas mugs, pyjamas, plates. I watch Christmas DVDs and listen to Christmas music. This year I am desperate for one of these Colour Changing Reindeer Mugs. Colour changing nose! Perfect!

The slightly more tasteful part of me also likes this Emma Bridgewater Christmas Star Mug. Though it’s also double the price at £13.99, so that’s the more tasteful part of me that also thinks £14 is an acceptable price for a mug. Which is quite a *small* part.

When I was a kid I used to get so excited about Christmas Day that some years a cup of hot sweet tea was required to stop my shaking, and I guess I still hang onto a bit of that.

My hunt for Christmas pyjamas has unfortunately come up empty handed this year, I found some lovely ones, but they were in the US and unfortunately they don’t ship internationally.

This is largely irrelevant as once breakfast is over I like to glam up a bit on Christmas Day, even though it’ll just be me and my Husband, in our house, alone, all day! I tend to glam myself up, and then over the day I lose bits that are uncomfortable. Tottering around the kitchen in heels isn’t practical, so I go back to my ballet pumps. Then my sequin halter is a bit tight, so I swap it for a jumper, and before I know it I’m back in leggings and a T Shirt.

This year I am determined to mix a bit of Christmas glam with comfort, even if it means going shopping (oh no!) So I’ve been planning potential comfortable Christmas glamour outfits.

A wrap dress is always good, and nicely adjustable for after Christmas lunch. This one is Jaeger, available from Retro Chick for £29.99. It actually fits me so if no one’s snapped it up by Christmas maybe it’s mine?! Team it with some shiny silver ballet pumps to avoid the teeter factor and I think this is perfect.

Personally I find skirts more comfortable, but if you’re a trousers kind of girl then this gorgeous silk velvet GS by Gharani Strok Top is just £9.99. With some wide leg trousers it’s glam but comfy.

Of course, I might just give up glamour as a bad job for Christmas Day and resolve to spend the entire day in my PJs. If could get some really good Christmas ones I just might….

The best I’ve found so far is these from Debenhams, but they are only £5, so glamour or no glamour I might get them anyway…
