No party outfit would have been complete without a bit or sparkle often in the form of a corsage.
Sadly, like so many other fun aspects of seasonal dressing the Christmas corsage has long faded from view. I however am a major fan and look forward to wearing my corsages every season. I first had a gold angel, which I sadly lost when it fell of my coat. Christmas corsages are not very sturdy:
This year I decided on a fun atomic looking number with a reindeer and turquoise, red, and silver accents.
I really like it! I particularly love it paired with my 1940s Jatzen taxi sweater. I even broke festive dressing rules and wore it before Thanksgiving, these pictures where takenon Tuvok's first birthday, Novemeber 11.
Merry Kitschmas!
Those look so festive. I wonder why they went out of style.
ReplyDeleteWhat festive dressing! And when was the last time any of us saw the word "boutonnierres" in advertising?!
ReplyDeleteI wish things would go back to some of the old fun styles and dressing up for occasions!
ReplyDeleteOh I've never heard of Christmas corsages before. This must be the precursor to the modern Christmas brooches they sell at department stores :) Sorry to hear about your Christmas angel corsage getting lost, I do love your new atomic reindeer corsage though!
ReplyDeleteWe think Tuvok makes a good corsage, too! BOL!
ReplyDeleteI love that you often shine the spotlight on accessories and garments that often all but forgotten, dear Kate. Thank you for this delightful Christmas post and look at a fabulously fun accessory. All of your Christmas corsages/brooches look terrific on you!
