Low-Key Festive Looks

And one of the easiest ways is with accessories like earrings, belts, scarves, ties, socks, hosiery, and headwear. 💥 Done! Sparkly stuff and metallics elevate any look. You can even pair them with neutrals and you’re still ready to rock. We found a couple of photos showing sparkles + an everyday, neutral piece but still

Sequins

Sequin Pants for the Holidays

What signals fun and festive more than a pair of sequin pants?! Especially during the holiday season, we should all be looking for ways to add a little ‘festivity’ to our everyday looks. Sequins and metallics are an easy way to level up your everyday during the holiday season. The ones pictured above are from many seasons ago but the style still exists. The sequin palazzo pants are available in wine or black sequins (I would favor the wine color!).

A Tale of Two Styles: Festive and Everyday

For the entire month of December, please expect to see me dressed festively! That can mean different things to different folks but, for me, I will be channeling everyday looks with a festive slant. Expect to see, in varying degrees, feathers, metallics, whimsical earrings, Christmas-themed attire, holiday colors of red, green, and hot pink, and sparkles. Take a moment to decide what festive will look like for you and dig in! As a proponent of choosing wisely and being intentional,

The color is versatile. The styling is feminine and creates a longer, leaner leg. The heel height is manageable…and it’s leather! BOOM! Now, let’s party!

holiday denim

Don’t we all love denim?! And then when there’s already some sparkle added ~ is that even better? So when I thought of a fun, holiday outfit that when ‘light up the room‘ when I walked in, I pictured these pair of jeans + a sequin sweatshirt for the ultimate lazy festive look! Who’s in with me?! They almost remind me of something I’d see on an old 70s dance show – I’m ready!

Like It, Love It or LOSE It?

This sheer silk military bodysuit by CDC has epaulettes on the shoulder and snap closure on the front; it’s ideal as we move into Holiday season and can be dressed up or down (I love versatility!)….but I’m not convinced on the bottom-half. It should be a thong or boy-short to avoid VPL!! It does come in dune (pictured), scarlet red, black and cream….but at $275, I’m not sure wearing it with VPL is the right answer? Thoughts?
