Christmas bells are ringing, Christmas carols fill the air and the dazzling lights so pretty everywhere.
My Spanish style dress is festive for celebrating the joy of Christmas time.
Can be worn off the shoulders.
It has a black velvet bodice, red satin and black lace ruffles perfect for Latin dances.
My red roses shawl keeps me warm while sitting and enjoying my dinner.
I curled my hair for the Christmas dance.
This high low design is high at one side and low at the other, a very unique asymmetrical style.
Don we now our gay apparel … fa la la la la la la la la …
Troll the ancient Yuletide carol!!
Christmas blessings!!!

A beautiful dress to dance (I saw it in your video). Although it seems of Spanish inspiration, the Spaniards do not dress like this now. LOL. The dress has beautiful details and you look wonderful with it. I love your hairstyle, with hair pulled up, it’s very pretty. I really like the dress with the red dancing shoes.

Muchas gracias Josep-Maria! I’m sure the Spanish ladies do not wear dresses like this in the street. This style of dress is a costume for dancing and fiestas. I saw Flamenco dancers at a concert in Germany; their dresses were amazing with ruffles and trains. They danced with passion and were very talented. What I like about this dress is that it makes me feel like I’m in a dancer in a musical, it’s so fun! But it’s not a dress I can wear anywhere else, just to a special dance.
Feliz año nuevo!

Das ist wunderbar, meine liebe Freundin Carmen! You look amazing in that Spanish style dress. I notice that you placed the Christmas tree in your lovely and luminous Gartenzimmer ☺️ Beautiful!
Do you go to Seattle in January? I’m sure you will enjoy your stay at Jean’s, helping with her Eco boutique Drizzle and Shine.
Have a great New Year, my dear Carmen! It would be great to get together some day in the spring, wouldn’t it? We have so much to catch up…☺️
