The holidays are great for so many reasons…food, family, friends..and uh…presents! But don’t forget another “F” word…FASHION! The holidays give you a free pass to sparkle it up just a little more than normal or just wear PJ’s for multiple days. But which is your style??
Many peoples fashion depends on where they are and who they are with. Sometimes there is that rarity that some fashionista’s are that whereever or whomever they are spending their day with, they make sure Fabulous is in their outfit. For me? Its a little bit of both.
I’ve most definitely done the Pajamas for days trend, only to put Uggs on when I leave the house. But as I’ve gotten a bit older, I like to test my skills and play with holiday fashion a bit more. Many a Christmas is spent at my grandparents where heels are looked at as “feet crushers” and “back issue starters,” so those are out in the house but the other holiday accessories aren’t!
So your the pajama type? Well step it up this year! Hard to believe but this year Pajama’s have hit the red carpet! Should they have? Well debateable, but they aren’t all bad. Instead of pairing the top and bottom together, separate them for a chic look. If your choosing the pants, pair with a light simple heel. Then pick a solid color top, either a cashmere sweater or light blouse. If your picking the top instead, pair it with tight or skinny pants, solid colors as well. You can either wear fab heels or stylish flats with these. Flats with the PJ pant are a no, no…looks like slippers.
If your not quite pajama casual, but still want the comfort, go with a great sweater and pant combo. If you wear a solid sweater, find a fun print pant which you can either wear heels or a stylish flat. If you find a great patterned sweater, then stick with a solid bottom. Cable-knit sweaters are always an easy go to for winter time but the pattern and bold sweaters are in and will make you stand out.
Red, Green, Blue and Sparkle are the colors of the Holidays. Unfortunately many people make the mistake of taking these so literal. Instead of evergreen, pick Emerald which is a very trendy color right now. Pair it with a black skirt and pumps or booties. Add chrome accessories to make the emerald pop. The same can be paired with a deep red shirt. Still want to add more holiday colors? Pick red satin shoes instead of the go-to black. But please…not christmas light necklaces.
Don’t feel like wearing the typical holiday colors? Instead pull your inspiration from the snowy surroundings. A chic snow bunny is a clean, fabulous look. To put this together, choose either white (or light grey) dress pants and pair with a cream or light grey top as shown in the near by photo. Accessories? Keep these clean as well. Silver or gold. Finish your 
look off with a strappy heel. Quick note: White pants are tough to pull off but mostly because the wrong pair is bought. Make sure the pants are lined as in no see through pockets, underwear etc. Make sure the fit properly (please), the worst thing you can do is buy them too tight. The length needs to be tested with your heels. You want the bottom of the pants to be just above the floor, no wind flappers! 
Go to our facebook page to tell us what you would rather splurge on. For me and the holidays…I (as always) am in love with shoes. I would splurge on a fabulous pair of red or black velvet booties or sparkling pumps. Next why don’t we grab a great necklace to really make an entrance. Diamonds are expensive and can only be an easy go-to for some, but don’t go budget on diamonds. A visibly fake diamond necklace makes your outfit look cheap. Instead, look for those with color that is complimented by these imitators, or if you want to stay with the clear cuts, then pick BIG ones that stand out and are complimented with gold or silver chrome.
Regardless of your style during the holidays, have some fun and play with your outfits. This is 
your FREE PASS for too much sparkle….no judgement!
