Bold Holiday Look | OOTD

We are well into the holiday season which means there are a few more holiday parties to hit. Why not step outside of the box a bit more for your holiday party look? One of my favorite quotes is, “People will stare, make it worth their while” , and this look matches that idea. The cool thing about this look is that I didn’t really have to purchase anything new. All of these pieces were already living in my closet with the exception of my fun new purse.

I like things that are a little unexpected so I went ALL IN with my head wrap. I see women wear head wraps often but how many times have you seen one fabulously styled with a sequins dress at a holiday party? !? I can’t say that I have. Lol

I wore this sequins dress to my blog anniversary party back in October. The great thing about this black and white sequins dress is that it translates to so many occasions. That’s the beauty of classic colors. I thrifted this red 3/4 sleeve  coat nearly a year ago and I’ve finally been about to break it out. The details on this coat are amazing and its the perfect pop of color.This pop of color/contrast can be in any color and it would have the same effect. 

This look could easily be overwhelming and “too much” but because everything is black & white except for the coat, everything fits right into place. The only thing left to do is put on a red lip and grab a fun purse.

Leave me a comment about your favorite bold look for the holidays. Enjoy!

Holiday Sequins | OOTD

In my mind, November 1st officially kicks off the holiday season. Besides, I’m already hearing Christmas music so I might as well offer some fashion advice for the many holiday parties that are to come. This is the perfect time to break out something bright, exciting, and unexpected. It’s fun to stand out,be festive, and have your outfit be a conversation piece at holiday gatherings.

Besides your traditional red, green, and white try SEQUINS! This sequins jumper sponsored by Dresslily.com has beautiful geometric shapes and patterns to really make a statement. I love the idea of a one piece outfit. It just simplifies getting ready  and offers you an alternative to a regular top and bottom.

When it comes to accessories, I added a statement necklace that fit the neckline of the jumper beautifully. I went more conservative with my earrings, shoes, and jacket. Who knows, if it never warms up this season you could even go with out a cover up. Add in a rosy red lip and you are all set! Leave me a comment about your fun fashion ideas for holiday parties. Enjoy!

OOTD | Christmas Casual

The holidays are here and finding something festive but not too “Christmasy” to wear to parties and gatherings will soon be on the top of your to do list. If you’re looking for a comfy and casual option here it is.

The key to making this ootd work is choosing pieces that compliment each other but that are not to “matchy matchy.” Choose a bold color pant that reminds you of the holidays. (Red/green) Then choose a solid sweater and patterned shirt or vice versa. (Patterned sweater and solid shirt) Nuetral shoes compliment the combination. Now you’re off to have fun with a fuss free ootd, enjoy!
