12 Days of Christmas Outfits: Day Nine – The Christmas Jumper

Finally, the proper Christmas jumper arrives!

This was my first ever Christmas jumper, bought in the sale at the same time as the reindeer dress and the penguin dress, and still a favourite as its comfortable and warm.

In my head this is an “every day” Christmas outfit, perfect for the run up to Christmas. The fact that I think I need “every day” Christmas outfits, as opposed to just “Christmas Outfits” might be submitted as further evidence that I really don’t think of my wardrobe like normal people do but rather as some sort of massive dressing up box in which I must have themed clothes for every occasion.

It is an acceptable every day outfit though, in fact as I write this I am wearing the outfit while sat in a Starbucks with an Egg Nog latte and my laptop. See, perfectly normal every day outfit, at least in December.

One thing it is obvious I DIDN’T do before photographing this outfit, is iron my skirt. It’s a stretch skirt, so I rarely never iron it. In fact I rarely iron anything as I am lazy and it mostly just seems like too much effort.

I really do swear that the skirt wasn’t that screwed up when I looked at it. Any creases in this one normally drop and stretch out on their own in about 10 minutes. I am blaming the light coming through my front window which has made every crease hugely visible, and made me look like even more of a scruff bag than I would normally.

You’re just going to have to take my word for it that it looked much better in real life.

I also forgot to take a close up photo of my mistletoe hair slide. Seriously, I should have my fashion blogger card revoked.

At this point, with 2 days to go, every one seems about sorted for Christmas. Except me that is. I still have presents to buy and a shopping trip to purchase enough food and booze to feed a family of 6 for a week, despite the fact that there are only 2 of us for Christmas and the shops are shut for one day. Also I have to clean my house so I can spend 2 weeks making a mess of it again.

If there’s a last minute to leave things until, I’m the sort of person who leaves things to the last 10 seconds.

I hope you’re all more prepared than me!
