FESTIVE FROCKS
TAKE A SIMPLE, YET ELEGANT APPROACH TO DRESSING THIS CHRISTMAS
Christmas brings a sense of occasion that requires a well considered outfit.
Unless you are celebrating at the beach, the swimsuit and kaftan you bought while Christmas shopping won’t be enough.
Opt for an elegant dress in one of the season’s bright hues, such as purple or blue, festive red or traditional black and white.
The season’s key dresses sit above the knee and come in a beautiful mix of printed fabrics which drape around the body.
Add accessories such as several layers of bangles, a cuff, cocktail ring or bold necklace.
Sydney designer Lisa Ho, who has just opened her first Adelaide boutique, says women want to wear something pretty but not be constrained by fashion.
“You still want to be able to play with the kids and eat!” she says.
Graphic prints are a strong look for summer. Lisa Ho chain link dress ($679), cow hair belt ($289), CC Skye bracelet ($235), thread bracelet ($355), Lisa Ho Boutique
