The golden slide paired with the half French braid can easily add a touch of festivity to your look! Blow dry the rest of your hair so that it behaves and let the braid be the centre of attention.
Keep up the good cheer by trying out different looks! Raid your wardrobe and existing accessories before you hit the shops, you will discover many Christmassy things in there which you would probably not have noticed till now.
