What to Wear to a Tacky Christmas Sweater Party - When you really don`t want to wear a tacky Christmas sweater

Man shirt to girl shirt.

Have you noticed how many Christmas parties have become Tacky Christmas Sweater parties...A miserable trend if you ask me.

Girl child was invited to such a party tonight.  A nightmare for a 24 year old girl who likes to dress up.  While everyone faffs off to Goodwill to sift through the 1980`s castoffs with baubles and pompoms, my Girl Child as a budding Fashion Arts student is having none of it. When asked what she`s wearing by fellow attendees....she replied ``a man`s red plaid Christmas castoff shirt``.  Clever girl that she is, she`s made it a Fashion item complete with the requisite Christmas Bow. 

Here`s how to make a man shirt into a girly shirt.  Take a man shirt and put it on with no arms in sleeves.  Button it up from the bottom until it is buttoned tight under your armpits.  Take the sleeves and tie them in a large festive bow around your waist.  Black skinny jeans and heels....sparkle bow on your head and your good to go.  Buck the trend I say.

Pretty Bow Tie Shirt.
