good golly it's chilly outside!

ah yes ... it's the winter, nicies.
let's have a dress up gala!

so i'm inviting you all to a cyberly handmade winter gala here next week. you know the style: arrive by horsedrawn coach thru the pretty white snow at my charming countryside castle;  glamourous warm coats, fancy muffs to keep our beautifully manicured hands warm, a dashing evening of dancing and mingling among dignitaries & the like. you looking gorgeous in your handmade winter gala ensemble!
and no... thanks for asking, but you needn't bring anything. just your lovely self! but you do have a job: show me the handmade or vintage delight you'll be wearing! i'll include your outfits in a post next week! woohoo!


just...
1. choose a fun frock or glamourous outfit (or something else) winter-gala-worthy to wear. think sensational, warm & wintry.

2. choose a fun accessory for the look.

3. cut & paste the direct links where i can find each item on the net from your 2-piece outfit into your comment below.

4. make as many 2-part outfits as you'd like (feel free to include goodies from your own work, too, if you' like!)

5. next week i'll include 10 or so of your looks in a follow up post, and i'll be sure to link to your lovely shop/site, too! great free advertising for creative, dressed-to-the-nines YOU!

6. and hey... if there are LOTS of entries, i'll get the random.org generator to pull a few for us to see!
