A little something extra...
The holidays are a fabulous time for fashion and this issue of the “Monthly Fashion Update” will help eliminate the frustration of what to wear in the midst of all the stress of the holidays. Unlike like last December’s newsletter, I decided to focus on a few key pieces that you probably already own that can easily carry you through the holidays.
Chandelier earrings, big or small, are the perfect item to add to an outfit for the holidays. And just because the earnings are over the top, doesn’t mean that the rest of your outfit has to be - pair the earnings with a white button down shirt and jeans. For a little more extra sparkle I would add a fun cocktail ring. That’s really all you need!
Another item that’s very simple and easy to add to your existing wardrobe is a pair of metallic shoes. Again, keep the rest of your outfit simple with a skirt, a little black dress, jeans or even tweed trousers. I love the mixture of tweed with metallic because it’s an unexpected combination that looks put-together and very fashion forward.
White winter is my absolute favorite thing to wear for the holidays because it always looks elegant. It’s also wonderful because it’s such a departure from all the dark colors of winter. It’s the perfect way to look fresh, stylish and hip with either a pair of pants, a sweater, coat, or even a scarf and a pair of gloves. C’est magnifique!
Shrugs are very popular this year and it’s very easy to see why. They can be paired with so many things like jeans, a dress or a skirt. Think of pairing it with something else mentioned in this newsletter like some metallic shoes or chandler earnings.
There is one other item that is perfect for the holidays that can also be worn at many other occasions: tuxedo pants. These are very classic and so easy to wear with a sweater, a satin camisole and shrug, velvet blazer…the list is endless! And speaking of velvet, this also another item that is perfect for the holidays. However, I would stay away from velvet pants because they can look a bit bulky, adding weight to the body.
The holidays are a special time to celebrate and to add that little extra something to your wardrobe. You don’t have to spend or buy a lot to find the perfect holiday outfit. Just a simple touch of sparkle is all you need. Have fun and ring in the new year in style!
