Quick party fixes

Have you given any thought to what you are going to wear to the many holiday parties this year-end?
An invitation to a special Christmas or New Year's Eve party can strike fear in the hearts of the most fashion-conscious among us. Finding the perfect outfit should not cause a grown woman to cry – even though socially the decision ranks right up there.

Here are some party quick fixes and fashion tips courtesy Kadapatha. A party is a perfect place to try a little bit of a new style but do not go overboard – after all, you hope you were invited for your sparkling conversation and contribution to the group, not as window dressing. Pick something your will feel comfortable in, something that will get you compliments for your taste in colour, style or fabric. When you try your outfit on, try to imagine the colour photos making the e-mail rounds next week.

One great option is to pick a fairly plain dress and let your accessories do the hard work. Add one show-stopping piece of jewellery like a gorgeous long strand of pearls. Or carry a beautiful eye-catching handbag. Just make sure the outfit it accents is simple enough to show off your beads and bags.
Sparkly tops: All things glittery are making a comeback as designers and stars take a shine to the festive look, so a few shiny vibrant pieces are a must have to leave you dazzling like the stars of Bethlehem itself. Purple is a hot colour this season. With of course Christmas greens and reds never going out of fashion.

Emphasize the waist Show off your curves this Christmas with the latest trend being emphasis on waist. Dresses with cinched waists and waist belts are as hot as chestnuts roasting on an open fire this season with their stylish and edgy style.

So hop in to our stores at Crescat and Liberty Plaza for more cheeky and glamorous styles this x'mas.
