What I Wore : Xmas Drinks with Friends

 

 

This time of year sees the Welshman and me busy with parties and get togethers and functions – unfortunately not usually together.  On Saturday night, we had a fab night with friends – great food, great conversation, great quantities of alcohol … you know the drill.

 

 

What I wore for Xmas drinks with friends was this fabulous Country Road maxi skirt in orange and beige, which I’ve teamed with a Country Road seam free tank in raspberry.  I just love red and orange tones together.  I’ve added a Leona Edmiston belt to define my waist.  Elastic waistbands are not kind to anyone, but especially unpleasant on ladies with tummies.

I’ve popped a little Sportsgirl jacket in peachy beige with fluttery sleeves and studded shoulder panels over the top.  I’m debuting a fabulous statement faux coral necklace in red and gold that I purchased from one of my favourite shops, Bella Emporio.  It’s been waiting for the perfect outfit and a special occasion.

 

Just love the orangey red and gold combination – so powerful.  Appeals to my inner Leo.  I’ve nicknamed it my Warrior Woman piece.

 

 

I’m carrying my tan leather Miu Miu tote.  Sometimes a girl just needs more stuff than you can squeeze into a clutch.  In the interests of comfort, I’m wearing my favourite Seed Femme tan leather wedge platform sandals.  A wedge heel or a flat is essential to balance the floatiness of a full maxi skirt.  Also an excellent OH&S safety precaution – I tried high heels and kept spiking the hem of the skirt, and dacking myself.  Not a good look!

 

Do you like to wear red and orange together?  Any issues with public dacking you’d care to share?  Or is that just me?
