A festive outfit of everyday things: how to dress for a party if you are not ready for it

Send

Like winter, the New Year comes to the country imperceptibly and always somehow suddenly. It would seem that the bright shop windows eloquently prompt New Year purchases throughout December.

But work, family, and children's studies drag us into the maelstrom of everyday life. And now - tomorrow, December 31, and we are completely unprepared for the holiday! The set for Olivier is not a problem, I went to the nearest store and bought some simple components of the festive table. What about the outfit? Even in the country, to be content with Olivier in old jeans and last year's stretched sweater - this will ruin the holiday for sure. But you don’t have time to go shopping at all, and ordering something beautiful on the Internet is too late, most likely you will receive your order after January 11th.

What to do?

I do not see any problems. Even the girls who have never held a needle in their hands can make themselves a wonderful New Year's outfit. And for those who held it was 30 minutes. You can bring mom, grandmother, children to this. Not forbidden. On the contrary, it will unite the whole family with a common task. While vegetables are cooked for olivier, I guarantee you a good result!

Open your closet, and from there a mountain of unnecessary and long-forgotten clothes falls on you. The main thing is to quickly get out from under this mountain. You rummage in this heap for about 10 minutes, the most accurate ones will do it even faster - just move your shoulders.

8 main fashion trends of winter 2018

Remaking a dark plain dress

misslo.com
Find any dark plain dress: black, dark blue, emerald with or without sleeves, under the throat, with any neckline. Take the scissors boldly into your hands and ... cut off the top of the dress along the neckline! It’s better to put on your favorite bra and cut it right along the top line of the cups. Of course with a slight allowance for the hem.
If the fabric does not crumble - it is a dense jersey, knitwear, jacquard - you can not bend it, one New Year's Eve will definitely stretch this dress.

Sleeves too away! And who is sad about the sleeves - you can cut off the upper and lower parts of the sleeve, leaving the middle, and you will get a beautiful evening sleeve. Neat girls will leave everywhere a place for the hem of the cut seams. Crazy folks like me will cut off precisely to the right place and will not bother - sloppiness has long been in fashion.

I would also advise shortening this old dress. Make a mini dress or tunic out of it. For this, a sheath dress is suitable, which were in fashion recently. A-line dress is also not bad.

Shorten skinny pants and jeans

Surely there are also old black old-fashioned skinny trousers or skinny jeans in the closet - boldly cut them a couple of palms below the knee!
I do not believe that in your house there is no old broken jewelry, an old belt of stones or something like that. In the end, look in the drawers of your little sister or your daughter - everything will work! Appliques, stones, sequins, sparkles, everything that can be sewn or glued with a regular glue stick.

If there is nothing like this, then a stylish tunic with a sexy neckline and naked ankles will distinguish you from girls in too colorful New Year's dresses. Your outfit will look youthful and fashionable.

Focus on accessories

In your mother’s closet, you can probably find some transparent shawls: scarves, stoles, capes. It was fashionable for many years in a row, and even now a transparent stole will give along the necessary festivity.
Find the old black turtleneck that everyone has. I will never believe that you do not have it. Cut it from bottom to top, leaving a top that barely covers the navel and chest. This is for the brave. For the timid - cut more carefully, leave more. Knitwear can not be processed!
Do the same with the old skirt, making it extremely short!
And in the mother’s stole cut a hole for the head right in the middle. And put on a stole over the top with a mini skirt with long ends back and forth. And find a beautiful shiny strap. On the one hand, a bold outfit, and on the other, everything is covered in chiffon or georgette!

We decorate jeans and a sweater

Of course, my imagination is not unlimited! But if you don’t have anything in the closet at all, nothing at all, and only one ripped jeans and an old sweater live there, and in this case there is a way out!
Go to any auto parts store and buy a bottle of silver or gold paint! And then - just a flight of your imagination! Feel free to paint your old ripped jeans with beautiful spots, silver paint! Well, or gold, depending on which color you like best. Paint the sweater more accurately! It is good if it will be a large-knitted gum pattern. It is better to dye the sweater so that the wrong loops of the elastic band do not stain. To do this, just squeeze the gum and only then paint the sweater. The easiest way is to paint over your palm and print it! Do not want to get your hands dirty, ask your children or husband to do it! The husband may refuse, but the children will be completely happy. You will remember their beautiful palms! And you will keep this New Year's outfit your whole life.
