It’s not everyday that we get to slip into something fancy. So, why not make it fun with these easy and elegant holiday party looks?
So, maybe you’ve been invited to several holiday parties this month, or you have some family dinners lined up but you’re wondering: what should I even wear? Should I dress up or just keep it casual? I want to dress up but I don’t want to look TOO fancy. I want to look fancy but I don’t know how to tie it all together.
For the holiday party, consider going for something a little more elegant than you would normally wear. There’s something so special about pulling out that fancy dress that you’ve had tucked away in your closet, for special occasions like these. This season is pure magic!
Dressing up makes me feel beautiful, empowered, and so lady-like. Christmas Eve dinner is that special night for me. Even though it takes place in a family member’s home and most people are wearing jeans and a top, it brings me so much joy to wear something a little more fancy.
No need to get complicated. There are some easy and elegant holiday looks that you can put together to get you in that holiday spirit and get you feeling oh, so fancy!
ELEGANT HOLIDAY PARTY LOOKS
1. RED SHIFT DRESS DRESS & NUDE HEELS
2. RED JUMPSUIT & EMBELLISHED SANDALS
You just can’t go wrong with wearing red for the holidays. I admit I wear this color a bit too much during this time of year… scratch that. It’s never too much! Wearing a red ensemble will surely make a statement, and you will instantly light up the room. Consider styling your all-red outfit with simple accessories since red already makes a great statement.
3. CREAM SWEATER, RED MIDI SKIRT & EMBELLISHED HEELS
4. BOW BACK DRESS & MARY JANE PUMPS
Nothing says lady-like more than a pink dress or a pair of pink, embellished velvet heels. Play up the fanciness with extra sparkly statement earrings, a bold, red lip and a flowy skirt that is perfect for twirling in. Have some fun and experiment with your style! For example, this outfit is not something I would have normally gravitated to in the past, but I felt so inspired by the sparkle of the season that I just couldn’t help but wear something extra elegant!
So don’t hesitate, and reach for those fancy items that you haven’t worn yet because you haven’t had any occasion to wear them to. NOW is your chance!
