Holiday Style
Tips that help transform you
from office chic to nighttime glam.
The holiday season is hectic enough,
without the added pressure of having to look fabulous.
All the family dinners, office parties, and special
events are enough to put even the most style savvy fashionista
off her eggnog. You don't have to spend a fortune on
a holiday wardrobe- just follow these tips and tricks
to get you through the season. Cheers!
Corporate Glam
If your dress code at work is super conservative, make
your suit do double duty- wear a well fitted, excellently
cut suit with a simple white button down shirt for work,
and change into a velvet bustier, sparkly shell, or
silk blouse before you leave the office. Just leave
your suit jacket open to show off your sexy attire.
Tuxedo style looks are big this holiday season. Look
for a tuxedo style jacket and a lace-trimmed shirt for
an elegant party look.
Fabulous Separates
Look for some glamorous pieces that can fit easily into
your current wardrobe. Try wearing a sparkly cami underneath
your work jacket or blazer- at the party ditch your
blazer and show off some glitz. For an understated evening
look, invest in some luxe fabrics like silk tops, lace
trimmed shirts, or pants with details like sequins.
Pair these with the work wear you already have like
slim fitting black turtlenecks, pencil skirts, or well-cut
black trousers. Keep the glitter to one item only- we
want your personality to shine, not just the clothes.
Party denim
With more and more work places introducing a casual
dress code, it can be hard to figure out what the boundaries
are. Bottom line: no matter the dress code, you still
need to look appropriate both at work and at play. Denim
can help on both fronts- dark denim with a straight
leg is always a good option and goes easily from day
to night. Pair it with a sexy top and switch your basic
black pumps for something a little strappy for evening.
Black boots with a high, thin heel are classic; they
go with everything from jeans to dresses.
Accessorize your look
Accessories are a simple, and easy way to instantly
change your look. Give instant glam to your work looks
by adding some sparkly accessories, like earrings, and
a great necklace. Try wearing a metallic or
rhinestone belt with your black pants, or throw
on a beaded shrug to instantly bring some glitz to your
office attire. Leave your bulky work tote bag in your
car or at the office, and carry a beaded clutch to the
party instead.
Use these tips to save your sanity and your wallet,
and look fabulous for the holidays!
