I just know this will be the best Christmas ever. We are throwing a big party in the new house, something we haven't done before. We have a lot of space and everything is in pretty good shape. I'm working on the menu and the Significant Other is working on drinks, paper goods, decorations and the like. I want it to look really festive.
As the hostess, I want to look my best and I'm frantic looking for the right dress. I want it to be elegant without being too fussy and I want it to make a statement about Christmas which is absolutely my favorite holiday of the year. So while I love the ones I have, a little black dress is out. I'm trying to decide between floor length formal (too difficult to be a good hostess in one!) and a really cool sheath with some very classic jewelry. I have some lovely pieces from my Mother which would certainly please her no end.
I have to say floor length in a sumptuous velvet would be lovely. Diamond earrings and a bracelet to match works for me. I'll go to Neimans and Nordstroms and see if they have anything that jumps out at me and calls "Merry Christmas"
