My wardrobe is mostly neutrals, so with the exception of the blue monochromatic look, I decided to lean in on that, as I wanted to highlight the jacket as the focal piece

You make the whole even more exciting by adding a different colour accent

I used the following shades to make my dress: Parchment, Flamingo, Peony, Copper, Silver Sage, Sea Foam, Marlin, Ivory and Thicket

A tie, pocket square, or lapel pin in holiday colors or patterns can elevate your outfit

I teamed the dress with a new to me vintage 1930s straw hat which has beautiful fabric flowers on the right front that I picked up at the Shepton Mallet Flea Market a little while ago for about 15
