Updated *DRESSING UP IN SWEATS// fashion, styling

THE CHRISTMAS SWEATER but DIFFERENT

I have sometimes felt it be nice to wear something less dressy or formal for the holidays-

to try something different.

A more relaxed , comfortable but still something special.

Usually when I think of Christmas sweat shirts or sweaters visions

of the over the top shirts come to mind, reindeers or Santas. They are fun but not my style.

As I was browsing I found some great sweat tops that I would definitely wear over the holiday or any other time. They are classy, but versatile for other occasions or times
Whether a informal office party, house party or get to together with friends, think
these tops work well.

The best thing they are not to expensive, look great
and as I mentioned can be worn over and over

for other events or days.

So whether you wear now or get it as a gift , makes for a nice change.

A FEW CLASSY PEARLS

this top i love , as it can be worn in so many different ways

with slacks, a midi or maxi skirt, over the satin slip dress.... endless styles.

Love , love it!

TEXTURES

this gorgeous dark blue

and ruffled collar

BOWS ARE BIG

this top is made for the holidays!

The BIG bow is perfect.

STYLE with skirt or pair of slacks, solid or check print

TRENDY PUFF SLEEVES

a lovely shade of pink + puff sleeve look

a feminine look . I love the sleeves , so

dressy looking! Add a sequin skirt.

Party perfect.

A SOFT VELVET

a super soft feeling

made for the season.

FURRY STYLE

this is ideal for winter ,

whether in a pink or beige shade.

Definitely a nice way to dress up an outfit

this holiday season.

PLEATED STYLE

the one design that is still so popular

add the pleated skirt for extra style.

or wear with simple pair of slacks.

Few more to try.

SOMETHING DIFFERENT I have to say I love color and prints, and when I saw the work of this Kenyan photographer Thandiwe Murui , I was in AWE. Such vibrant prints that make a statement . The prints or the checkerboard are definitely eye- catching. ( I happen to have a checkerboard top that I wear as a coverup) This might not be for everyones taste, but sometimes it is fun to be a bit wilder! THE SWIRLS love this print and the colour combination . Vibrant and fun! A MOD- FLORAL this print that looks like a Sunflower is perfect for summer. JUST BLENDING IN CHECKERBOARD ANYONE? find out more about her work here Thandiwe via BBC images via Thandiwe Murui

INSTAGRAM REAL STARS?

WONDER IF SHE IS REAL? How many people follow their favourite instagram and feel perhaps this is what a real person looks like and maybe lives like. I am not talking celebrities like Rihanna or Kardashians or any of the other major celebrities . I am not a big follower of instagram, but for those that are there are a few surprises such as one very popular Instagram Star is actually a virtual reality image, not a REAL person.

Okay maybe its like following a cartoon hero, i.e. SUPERMAN or WONDERWOMAN - but this we know are only characters not REAL PEOPLE. These so called stars gorgeous , flawless and h
