Get Party Prepped!

It’s the ‘holidays’. A word that normally denotes rest, relaxation and escape is, at this time of year, anything but!

I can remember the days when the afternoon before a planned event I would giddily make my way into my closet in search of just the right look for that night. Half the fun of the event was the prep. I could easily spend hours trying on all kinds of creative combinations until achieving that ever-so-coveted perfect look. 

That was then. This is now. With hair appointments and manicures a vague memory, I begin to get dressed minutes before dashing out the door. To my dismay, I discover that the outfit I mentally prepared is in fact a pair of shoes I gave away ages ago, and next to my great black pants, my perfectly flirty top is in fact, navy blue.  A complete fashion flop!

Ladies, learn from my mistake. At this time of year, with so many social events and even more photos being taken, making time to make yourself party ready is a MUST.  I am not saying this to add to your seasonal stress. Au contraire! Make it fun!

Use your manicure appointment as a date to see good friends.  You’ll all enjoy a break from holiday meals!   

Get some closet therapy. Set the timer for one hour. Then go! 

1.       Pull out all your glittery, sparkly, velvety, and lacy pieces.

2.       Try them all on.

3.       Eliminate anything that doesn’t look and feel great.

4.       Mix and match as you wish

5.       Enjoy having an amazing roster of go-to party looks.

An hour of closet time may seem difficult to squeeze into your already hectic schedule but trust me,  making it a priority now will allow you to enjoy yourself and be party perfect later!
