Tis the season for mistletoe and mischief…or at
least a few festive Christmas parties. But the statement that always seems to
be on our lips is, “I have nothing to wear.”
If the invitation doesn’t dictate
a tacky sweater, then how about couture?
Ribbons and bows, snow that glows and candy flavored kisses all abound in this magical time of year. What better way to dress the part, than in couture inspired by the season’s colors of green, white and red?

I hope you have fun…”

You’ll be ready to sing “O, Christmas Tree” while wearing bejeweled green creations of tulle and velvet.

Like a sparkling snowflake, you can enter the party in pure white. White is never boring when embellished with jewels, textures and artful shapes.

Or if making a loud statement is more your style, you can turn up the heat with a red ensemble. Like the red of holly berries, Santa’s sleigh and your sweetheart’s kisses, the color is sure to add a dash of spice to the holiday mixer.
