‘Tis the season to party your face off and but not before an exhausting (yet creatively inspiring) process of “getting ready”. Particularly when there happens to be a slew of engagements lined up and your social calendar is begging for closet capabilities that match the Kardashians but, alas, as you fling open your tiny closet doors you are sadly reminded that it more closely resembles the wardrobe of Arlene Dickinson because, ah yes, you work far more than you play. So we’re left feeling like Cinderella with nothing to wear to the ball and a limited budget, thanks to the gift of giving. Luckily for us there is no need to blow the bank with these perfect high-street finds for under $100, combining affordability with a truck load of festive sparkle. Your carriage awaits m’lady…
