You’re happy with your holiday finds for your gatherings and parties. You bought the perfect shoe on sale at 70% off. You found a sweet jacket that has fun details and can be worn after the holidays. Nothing stands between you and you sporting your new digs with style. Nothing, except sometimes, and maybe especially so, when you’re dressed up – your clumsy tendency to dribble your toothpaste, salsa dip, or spill your drink.
Here’s 5 tips for cleaning, camouflaging and or, distracting the eye from these unfortunate happenings:
- If you have time to remove toothpaste from your clothing, try this method. However, if time is an issue, and you have a V-neck or interesting drape to your top, consider wearing it backwards like I did for a client lunch here.
- Ladies, carry a broach or two, and a scarf in your handbag. You can use either or, all of them to strategically cover a wine stain or two.
- Party attire has become more casual for men. Some of you may be ditching your ties and opting for a sport coat/blazer and dress shirt only. However, consider stowing one in the car to hide a wine spill. Think ties are too serious? Embellish yours with a fun tie tack.
- If you spill wine and don’t have any broaches, scarves or ties handy, try any one of these ideas to remove wine if the host/hostess has the products handy.
- If it’s winter where you are, and you have an opportunity to layer pieces, you also may have more options to cover stains you can’t remove right away.
I hope you find these suggestions helpful, and they make your holiday dressing less stressful. Whether you need advice about layering to hide food stains, your holiday style in general, or a look for a future event, GeunINe STYLE is your solution.
