Christmas Bells are Ringing and Your Wardrobe is Singing

By Fashion 6 years ago

Oonag tells us how to dress with Christmas spirit!

As the end of first semester draws near, deadlines loom and caffeine addictions beckon. The diligent academics power through their coursework, while the rest of us mere mortals grasp at any opportunity to procrastinate. What better way to avoid reality and curb that caffeine addiction than retail therapy? Is it ever really too early for planning your festive wear? Nay, says I. From Christmas day outfits to Christmas jumpers to New Year’s Eve attire, the festive season provides more options for distraction than one could hope for. Whether you are going home for the holidays or staying in St Andrews, here are some tips for how to rock around the Christmas tree in style.

2017’s A/W fashion seems to be shaping up in support of one colour in particular. Red. From Givenchy to Fendi to Calvin Klein, vibrant reds are the trend of the season. So what better colour to channel this Christmas than that channelled repeatedly by Father Christmas himself? The fiery shade suits all skin tones, yet many shy away from the striking hue. However, from burgundy to wine to cerise, there’s a tone for every event over the holidays. More affordable high street retailers, such as Marks & Spencer and Topshop, have already caught onto the trend, with such a variety of shades and designs that there’s no excuse not to make a crimson splash this season. While a head-to-toe outfit in single-shaded red is ostensibly eye-catching, mix things up by pairing a cranberry shade dress with tomato red knee-high boots for a fashion-forward statement that is a little more low-key.

For those of us celebrating the holidays in the less forgiving climates, like that of our beloved St Andrews, this season’s trends have also got us covered. With the recent wave of 80s and 90s nostalgia, fancy tights have made a welcome comeback (who among us doesn’t jump at the chance to channel our inner Carrie Bradshaw or Cher Horowitz?). Rather than being a vague afterthought, let tights be your most striking accessory this December. From lace bridal-esque designs to fluff, this functional trend will surely replace the madness of fishnet designs we saw this year. Vintage faux fur coats and jackets are still reigning supreme this winter, so if you can thrift it, buy it. Statement furs are a recurring trend, so if you’re expecting a frosty Christmas,  it’s a worthwhile investment.

Let’s face it though, Christmas attire really isn’t all about sporting fashion-forward items. For the Christmas enthusiast, there is one item of clothing that is an absolute must – the Christmas jumper. Whether you’re a fan of the traditional designs, humorous film references, or anti-Christmas cheer, there’s a festive jumper for everyone. They may not be on-trend, but they truly are a Christmas staple. However, if you still want to feel stylish, try having a perusal of vintage and charity shops for Christmas jumpers with a unique look, but still in-keeping with the festive feel. Extra props to anyone who manages to incorporate red tones, a Christmas jumper, lace tights, and Christmas-themed accessories. It may be overkill, but if you’re going to be extra, there is no better time of year.

    New blog post, I wanted to share.

    Namecheap is a really popular web hosting company that is global they have over 11 million registered users. There are a bunch of different types of options for building a website, wordpress tools to help you, and email tools. They have a bunch of other software and security tools as well like SSL certificates. If your gonna buy from Namecheap, just do yourself a favor and use a coupon from our site… it takes a moment to find one and you will save some money.
    Some ways to save at Namecheap
    New customer discounts

    If your a new customer you get access to a lot of discouns and promo codes that are not normally available like coupons giving 50% off and 1 USD .com domains. Some really juicy stuff for real. Usually it depends on the product you are purchasing. Businesses and individuals can use these discounts and promo codes from Namecheap.com, but I think most businesses never use the codes… im not really sure why. There are some special coupons you can find on alternative sites there was a recent promo code that gave over 60% off a one-year VPN service. They have good products so I imagine the VPN would be pretty fast for a cheap price. Win.
    Student, teacher, and educator discounts

    f you are a student or teacher you show your email address with a .edu email or maybe email Namecheap with your student or teacher ID and you will get access to a nice bit of coupons/discounts for sure. This bundle includes a domain name plus one of the following:

    Free use of the company business card maker

    You can find a namecheap promo code for 20% off if you visit our main page. https://kimspromofinder.coupons
    How to redeem a Namecheap promo code

    Add your product to your cart. Go to your cart. And scroll down there should be an option for a promo code or coupon. You can find a picture of what I am talking about on own home page. But it isn’t too hard I believe in you. During the payment process you can apply the discount code
    Troubleshooting your promo code

    We make sure our promo codes work all the time. However sometimes they are updated for whatever reason at Namecheap or other issues might arise. Make sure if your typing in the promo code correctly.

    Also sometimes you need to purchase a certain type of product. Lets say your code is for a .com domain, and your purchasing a .net domain the discount code will not work.

    Namecheap’s website will often tell you the error and reason for why the promo code is not working as well.

  9. Thanks for the suggestions you have contributed here. Additionally, I believe there are numerous factors which really keep your insurance premium down. One is, to bear in mind buying motors that are inside good set of car insurance corporations. Cars which have been expensive are more at risk of being robbed. Aside from that insurance coverage is also using the value of your truck, so the more expensive it is, then higher the particular premium you only pay.

  50. My programmer is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on a variety of websites for about a year and am concerned about switching to another platform. I have heard very good things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress posts into it? Any help would be really appreciated!

  111. I have mastered some important things through your blog post. One other point I would like to convey is that there are several games on the market designed in particular for preschool age young children. They incorporate pattern identification, colors, creatures, and shapes. These commonly focus on familiarization instead of memorization. This helps to keep children occupied without having the experience like they are learning. Thanks
