Sarah Mc gives us her New Years predictions and resolutions.
1) Get the Dot Cotton look:
WWIWT is predicating a lot of fancy dress Eastenders parties in 2011. Forget the leopard print (Kat Slater is so 2010), the gaudy earrings (Pat Butcher is so passe), and just pick up a packet of schmokes and a tattered fur jacket. Et Voila: Dot Cotton. Because you’re worth it. And who cares if she’s actually only 35 years old with a face like that.
- Ah Dot. She’s some woman
- She also don’t believe in anti-ageing wrinkle cream
2) New Year, New Mu:
Homer first made this look popular in the 90′s and it is back with a bang for 2011. Forget your 5 fruit and veg a day, 8 pints of water and cycling to work. Why not just hide all those extra Christmas pounds under your Mu Mu. We predict a riot on this one. That tent-like apparatus from times of yore shall make an appearance big stye this year.
*also has great storage for carrying your Super Sized Maccy D’s (no product placement involved in the writing of this article)
- Hawwwwwt (and roomy)
- No need to work on that Christmas tum with this beaut
3) Be More MEAN (instead of green ya know)
You could get off the bus a stop early from work and walk the rest of the way – saving cash and the planet in one fell swoop…OR leave the bus, grab a taxi (by yourself natch), and take the scenic route to AND from work. How else are you going to renew your killer Christmas heels? Which are most certainly not made for walking.
- taXIIIIII
4) Get Black to It.
Black is always the new black. But not everyone understands this. Let me tell you who does – the Amish. Yes, the Amish certainly know how to work the black and are waaay ahead of the game when it comes to sombre, practical style. So tie back that hair in a stern bun, throw on that billowing black dress and get hard at work. Work hard and play less. But look great the Amish way.
5) Christmas Jumpers
Christmas jumpers are for life, not just for Christmas. And what with a huge increase in illegal Christmas Jumper Dumping (CJD), it’s time someone pointed out the obvious; Christmas Jumpers make great bedfellows. Transform yours into a superstylish pillow and have permanent, festive cheer not meters from you head.
6) Salegeddon
So the fashionista’s New Year is usually awash with diatribes and mantras about constructive, conservative sales shopping. Be nifty, be thrifty, be stealthy. Well WWIWT says: MEH. Set yourself a challenge to buy the most random, barmy and downright ugly things in the shop and see if you can construct an outfit. No pair of hotpants too small, nor tutu too silly – everything is fair game and if you can’t work a pair of sequinned rabbit ears into your Friday night look, then you have failed. Start again at Level 1.
- Could you work it?
