What do you think?

MawB2, I don't understand why as the alpacas aren't in his house? X
Notinthemanual, thanks for your lovely message. It's always nice when people are supportive. X

Isn’t it nice to know how “educated” those younger than most of us are.
To not know the name of one of your government advisers and what’s is more not being remotely interested is troubling in the least.
No wonder no one is taking the slightest notice of advice about coronavirus.

FH ? I'm speechless! That makes a chnage.

LauraNorder it is going ahead, I wouldn't miss the lovely alpacas for the world! X

Marydoll, I have no idea who Jason Leitch is, and don't want to. X
Ohmother, how vulgar! I have never used a tampon in my life! X

Marydoll I didn’t think of that, perhaps a fur thong and matching gloves.

Speak for yourself BlueSky, careful or you’ll end up with a lump of coal in your stocking.

You can tell FH is younger than us, we have stopped dreaming. We no longer believe in FC ??

LauraNorder remember it's in the Glasgow area, we have on occasions had to resort to fleecy underwear! FH would probably get hypothermia, wearing that dress ❄ and it's been raining for days. Those lovely boots would be ruined. Wellies required, I think.

Ooo I’d forgotten about the visit to the alpaca farm. What a shame it can’t go ahead, you could have given the dress and the boots a dummy run.

Notinthemanual you are new here and things aren’t always as they seem

Restrictions on visiting other people’s homes are in place indefinitely, and if these remain at the end of December, visiting others on Christmas day would be banned
Sadly, not only your plans for Christmas may be in jeopardy, FH , but it looks as if the visit from your uncle and the outing to the alpaca farm will have to be put on hold.

The dress needs a splash of colour especially at Christmas.

How about a red belt? I think the boots look too clumpy but it depends what activities are planned.

Had the question been posed n a general way..”what would wear with this?” that would have been a different matter.

FlyingHxndbag Are the drawstrings on the dress elasticated? I'm just thinking if they aren't and your family end up having a bit of a knees up, it might be restricting.
I'm looking forward to seeing what you'll be wearing for New Years. Have a great day.

*Lucca Marydoll* No one knows what rules will apply in two months' time. If FlyingHxndbag is optimistic good for her.

I said this before....FH has made it clear that the planned get together will go ahead regardless of Covid regulations.

If FlyingHxndbag lives alone - she can, of course, spend Christmas day with her support bubble family.

If she wants to look ridiculous, it's a free world, after all.

I doubt we'll get to see a picture of her wearing it, don't you?

I don’t know why you’d need a jacket, boots, shoulder bag on when you are presumably in your own or someone else’s house, wouldn't you , hang the bag and jacket up the minute you got in the door and take boots off? I’d recommend a seasonal onesie and some comfy slippers to get in the party mood.

Of course you are entitled to voice your opinion, just as we are to voice our concerns. Notinthemanual.

Just like Lucca, I don't wear buttoned up collars, as those who know me on this site will confirm. Quite the opposite in fact.

Lucca Marydoll No one knows what rules will apply in two months' time. If FlyingHxndbag is optimistic good for her.

You are right Ellan I think we’ll all lounge around in a dressing gown this Christmas! We might get one with seasonal print! But it doesn’t hurt to plan like FH! ???❄️

Much as I don't like slobbing around in a dressing gown, I rather imagine that this is what Christmas holds for me----no dressing up etc. so FH is very lucky to be privileged enough to join friends and family for the festive season ! Just where did I go wrong ?? Some people have all the luck !

My reaction to the OP was:"Why wear all black at Christmas?" Cheerful colours are surely the order of the day. The rest of the thread has had me chuckling, though.

P.s. have never worn a buttoned down collar in my life.

Thanks marydoll.

How can a complete strangers' fashion sense get so many women hot under their buttoned down collars?

As Lucca, has said, it's the consistent and provocative posting about planning to flaunt the Covid rules and guidelines, which has got posters hot under our buttoned down collars., absolutely nothing to do with a woman wearing a dress more suitable for a teenager.
