One Piece, Four Parties
As a belated birthday gift, my mother in law took me shopping and I found a glittery and glamorous navy sequin dolman top from Jennifer Lopez’s new line for Kohl’s. During the holidays, I decided I would maximize my purchase wear it to every Christmas party I attended, and found ways to wear it differently each time.
Party #1: Tim’s Work Christmas Party
Since the party was a business casual dress code, I paired the sequin top with a black pencil skirt, black tights, black ankle strap shoes and simple black pearls for earrings for a more conservative look.
Party #2: My Work Christmas Party
The best accessory I have is this dapper husband of mine on my arm, wearing a custom suit by Beckett & Robb. For take 2, I paired the sequins with Banana Republic fitted black slacks, Etienne Aigner black heels and drop Swarovski earrings I crafted on the way out the door… causing us to be an hour late. Fashionably.
Party #3: Alta Moda Holiday Party
Every year the folks at Alta Moda Bridal throw a holiday party that’s easily the social event of the season. This year was no different. White slacks were added to the mix for rave reviews.
Party #4: Going Away Party
The most creative combination and quite possibly my favorite of the lot, I wore sequins with this floral skirt by Shade and taupe heels for our farewell party.
Sure, it’d be fun to have different outfits to wear to every party during the holidays, chances are you won’t see the same people at each party.
The lesson? With a little creativity, one piece can go a long way.
What did you wear for the holidays?
Wear Red and Gold for the Holidays
Recently I was at Macy’s and saw this red and gold outfit on display. This is color scheme you can’t go wrong with during the holidays – isn’t this skirt amazing?
And if you happen celebrate Chinese New Year, these are lucky Chinese colors, so you can dust off your red and gold for the celebration in a few weeks as well.
What to Wear on Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is quite likely the biggest meal of the year with the average calorie intake clocking in at 4500. As you’re deciding what to wear on Thanksgiving, might I recommend choosing something that is:
- Loose-fitting through the torso
- Stretchy at the waist to accommodate your post-turkey tummy
- Comfortable!
My outfit today meets all of these criteria and is even in a festive color scheme to boot.
Today I Wore
- Brown v-neck from Kohl’s
- Patterned cowl tunic dress from modbod
- Brown leggings from modbod
- Cognac boots from Nordstrom
Happy Thanksgiving!
