HOLIDAY OUTFIT PLAN!

So Thanksgiving marks the "official" beginning of the Holiday Season in my house.
This mean your going to need outfits to match the season!

Times with family, friends, and parties are in your fashion future.
So what are you going to wear?

Well thats when my Holiday Outfit Plan comes in.


Holiday Family Party
________________________________________________________________________________

Everyone know that sometime during the Holiday Season your going to have to visit the family. This mean giving grandma hugs and kisses, cracking jokes with your uncles, being stupid with your cousins, and of course taking lots of family photos. So you have to look your best.

Your not exactly going to want to wear the fanciest thing in your closet that is all decked out in glitter! Keep in simple, and modest! Remember, your probably not the oldest in your family and even if the elders might not be up-to-date with the fashion, you don't want grandpa having a heart attack!.

Here is your outfit plan for Family Affairs.


-I chose bright red flats (from Target) to be the pop of color in both these outfits.
Yes you don't want to look like a disco ball, but you still want to stand out, ecspecially if you have a large family.
-sweater dress: prefectly modest but still dress enough for the occasion
I paired it with grey tights so you can show off your legs in a modest way.
-Sequin Floral Belt: just to add some sparkle with out blinding your grandparents.
-Multi-chain necklace: Again to add some shine without going overboard, but if you choose the necklace DON'T WEAR THE BELT!

-Not into dresses?
I paired a regular ribbed, burgundy, tank with a grey cabled cardi.
Wear this with dark grey, twilled jeans with the red flats and your good to go!
the necklace or belt could also go with this outfit as show above.

Holiday Party with Friends/Coworkers
_______________________________________________________________________________
So the family is alright to hang with during the Holidays for awhile, but you have to get out with your girls and celebrate sometime during the season. You also have those holiday work parties that your expected to go to.

This is the time to break out the sparkles and shiny things! you don't want to miss the chance to wow; especially if the cute guy in the cubical next to you is going to be there ;). So for events like these you have a little more options for your outfit. Now your don't want to be under-dressed and have all your friends look nicer than you. So its always a good idea to check with everyone else and find out what the majority of people are wearing. That way, when you show up (fashionably late of course haha) you'll knock'em dead.
Here is what I had in mind


-I chose gold sequin heels (from Victoria Secret) as the main source of sparkle for the outfit.
-Red satin, Over-the-Shoulder, pencil dress: This dress is perfect for the occasion! its sexy, yet sophisticated and is sure to WOW everyone in the room!
-Not into Dresses?
-Sateen Flutter sleeve top paired with dark wash skinny jeans.
Wear it with the gold sequin heels as well!

Now these two outfits your can wear more shiny things than if your were going to a family occasion.

My advice:
-Go with long narrow earnings
-Big rings
-Multiple bracelets (not more than three!)
-One BIG bracelet
- A broach
Also, keep in mind, nothing says Holiday like BOWS! No, not in your hair your not 12, but on your rings, earrings, or bracelet.

So thats My Holiday Outfit Plan, Make sure your not stuck the day of the party trying to figure out to wear! (All item pictured are from Forever 21 besides the shoes!)

HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE :)

*note that all my advice is based off my own opinion. So if your grandparents don't like your outfit. Or if someone at the office party looks better than you..its not my fault. I can only do so much ha! Stay stylish ;)
