OTT and Proud of It

If ever there's a time of the year that makes it completely possible to embrace your Over-The-Top self then its Christmas. Green, gold, silver and red are just some of the colours that we associate with the 'silly' season. Of course the best part is that we could probably wear them altogether and no-one would even bat an eyelid! So in an effort to remain somewhat stylish but still embrace my OTT tendencies, allow me to introduce my Flower Dress..just in time for Christmas.

This Lipsy creation was bought for an absolute steal at Foschini just because it needed some strap adjustments - it's amazing what you can find if you're willing to dig. I kept the look casual and paired it with flat black gladiators, however, you could don a pair of heels to glam things up a bit. A set of chunky black bangles and over-sized studs complete the look; and yes, my flower is still centre of attention.

When you're going OTT it's always good to keep everything else plain and simple, because, let's face it, Christmas doesn't mean that you want to go around looking like a Christmas tree (although those white and gold ones are pretty chic). Happy holidays everybody and

until next time...happy shopping!
