Holiday Style

With so many Winter holidays coming up, from Christmas to Hanukkah to New Years Eve, you sometimes have to plan your outfits ahead. 

I too go through the classic struggle of "so many clothes in my closet, yet nothing to wear." So I created a guide to help you clear your mind and get you to your head-turning goals.

Pick a dress: 

Lace, Velvet, Sparkles. Those are the keys to holiday-ready dresses. Golds, silvers, dull blues, deep reds, and black are good go-to colors.

Heels with texture: 

Suede boots (ankle or knee high) are a staple shoe no matter what occasion. It adds nice texture to any outfit without taking away from the statement pieces. 

Small vintage purse:

Unless you're at a family member's house you're probably going to want to keep your purse on you, which means the smaller the better. Something with an over the shoulder strap is preferable so you can dance without worrying about it falling off.

Oversized coat:

Most events during Winter are going to be inside, but that walk from your car to the door should still be fashionably warm. Moto jackets are a great way to toughen up the girly outfit underneath. Oversized felt coats bring an element of classic yet modern comfort. Faux fur is a daring but always exceptional way to add flair to a party dress. 

Statement Jewelry:

Large stone rings, layers of gold and beaded chains, cut metal statement necklaces, and eccentric cuff bracelets are easy and simple ways to finish off an outfit. While I am usually all for wearing excessive jewelry, you're already wearing so many layers to keep warm that one simple statement piece is much more appropriate to keep the balance.
