Hey Ragers and Ragettes!!!
It’s a chilly day in St Helens so I have dressed accordingly. I’m rocking a red sparkly belted jumper with
my skinny jeans and my brown riding boots.
Now I have been wearing dresses this past week but today I have opted
for jeans. Why? Because it is so cold here at work that I
have to put a heater under my desk. The
heater has given me ugly looking marks on my leg so I can’t be having that.
I especially cannot be having that as it is coming up to
that time of year that every girl loves and dreads....Christmas Party
Season.
Christmas Party Season is a bittersweet time. Think crash diets to get into that frock,
trying to find a frock that no one else has, booking beauty appointments (I booked
mine in October!!), trying to get shoes and the right accessories for the frock, and so on!
Then onto the actual Christmas Party. Christmas Parties are a hotbed for
drama. Many illicit kisses, bitch
fights, sexual encounters and drunken mistakes are made. Friendships break down and new ones are
made. Yes, so much drama in one night.
One such party, on this night, someone got fired, a romance
happened (the happy couple got married this year) a promotion occurred and I
got home in one piece with my boyfriend at the time. It was a classic evening. That night, I rocked a purple asymmetric frilled
River Island frock, fishnet stockings and studded leather black stilettos and a
rock chick side swept curly hairdo that at the time was a great idea. Looking back....it probably wasn’t!!!
Well this year, this Christmas party should be pretty much
drama free. The lads at work, Paddy and his brother and
Simon’s parents will be there. As I will
be the only chick there I need to rock a particularly fab outfit.
So I started hunting.
I usually go for a red short dress or a jumpsuit. I needed something different though.
So I starting looking on Asos and I found 2 gorgeous
frocks. Both stunning and fabulous. I looked at the price. Ouch!
So I started to think outside of the box.
I started looking online at some quirky boutiques and after
5 hours of trawling the internet, I found it....
Now this frock is totally un-Betty Rage like but I chose it
for one reason.
You all know how much I love my best friend Suzanne. She is my constant inspiration, my rock. She is one of the few people that I can be
totally honest with and she will always give me her 100% honest opinion. I consider her my sister.
So when I saw this dress, I decided on it because it
reminded me of Suzanne. Suzanne is blond
with blue eyes and clear porcelain skin.
This dress is falls to the knee, it has ¾ length sleeves, it cuts where
a normal t-shirt would at the neck line, but it is backless!!! And the colour? Well, it is sequinned....and it is ice
blue. Yes, Betty Rage is breaking the
red cycle and going for ice blue. Suzanne
wears blues all the time and I can imagine how gorgeous she would look in this
dress. It would suit her!!! The fit and the colour....God, she would look
stunning!
I decided to buy this dress and as I clicked on it I decided
how to do the rest of the look. I am
going to go for a snow queen look. So I
will be wearing my silver sparkly stiletto shoes with matching clutch bag. Some crystal chandelier serious bling
earrings, and I found a statement cocktail ring. That’s the outfit sorted. I ran it by Suzanne and she agrees.
I scheduled to get my beauty treatments done on the day of
the party and one of the things I am going for is to get my eye makeup
done. Being a red lippy wearer, I am not
confident doing my eyes. So I need to
get them to do a snow queen look for me.
I will probably slick my pink lip gloss on to finish the look.
It’s out of my comfort zone but I think that it will be
fab!
Simon and I decided to do a Man Versus Food sort of
competition for our Christmas Party. It's on December 20th at our Local Pub. At our local pub, they do
lovely food and 2 of the items that we do include a huge burger (it weighs
about 2 pounds) and an 18 inch hot dog.
We are challenging the lads to eat them and the side of chips and onion rings.
If they finish it, Simon will pay for the whole meal. It should be a laugh!!!
I usually dread the holiday season because I have been
single and alone. But this year is
different. Life has changed so much for
me so I feel that you sometimes need to go with it. So here’s to ice blue dresses, eating competitions
and fingers crossed a drama free Christmas party!!!
Until next time Ragers and Ragettes, keep your heads and
standards high and your heels even higher!
Lots of love
The Fabulous Betty Rage xxxxxx
Oh Betty!!!!! You are going to knock em dead!!!
