HOLIDAY PARTY LOOKS
Holiday party season is among us and my inbox is filling up with style questions on what to wear. I pulled some inspiration from my own closet and realized I have more holiday ready looks than I do party invites so it looks like I’m going to need to get out more!
In true girl on a budget fashion, I wanted to show how you could mix and match a few key pieces to create multiple looks without having to buy an entirely new outfit for each party you are attending. It’s an expensive time of year so my husband tries to reign me in by putting a shopping freeze on buying anything for myself for the entire month of December. AS IF! I mean does he even know what it’s like to lock eyes with a sequin sweater that just gets you? I’m talking to you, Zara.
– FAUX SHO –
A faux fur scarf and a touch of sparkle can put any dress in the holiday spirit
Boho Dress (use code mamaseeman10 for 10% off anything at Style Hunt) | Faux Fur Stole (old, similar here)| Sparkly Sock Booties
– COLOR BLOCKED –
The pop of purple is a little unexpected but packs a big punch next to the red
Midi Skirt (old, similar here and here for under $30) | Sweater | Purple Tights | Red Heels (old, similar here)| Chandelier Earrings (on sale for under $25)
– TONE IT DOWN–
To create a monochromatic look, pick one color and rock it from head to toe in various shades
Pleated Skirt | Sweater (0ld, similar here)| Green Tights | Olive Pumps (old, similar here and here)
– LET’S GET SHEER-IOUS –
The only thing I love more than a turtleneck is a sheer turtleneck
Sheer Turtleneck (sold out at Zara, similar here and here) | Snakeskin Print Cami | Belt (old, similar here)| Booties (old, similar here)| Crystal Earrings
– SEQUINS + KNITS –
A knit sweater is the perfect match for any skirt
Sequin Skirt (old, similar here, here, or in a burgundy here) | Sweater (old, similar here and here) | Floral Sock Booties (old, but I’m drooling over these in the wine snake print)| Cluster Earrings
– SEQUINS + KNITS –
A knit sweater is the perfect match for any skirt
Sequin Mini Skirt (old, similar here) | Fair Isle Sweater (I sized up to a Med for reference) | Silver Velvet Socks | Booties
– RAINBOW SEQUINS –
I love the rainbow colored sequin trend. It just makes me happy.
Sequin Sweater | Pleated Culottes | Metallic Booties (snagged these Marc Jacobs beauties on super sale at Saks Off 5th, similar designer pair here and for less here)
– VELVET E’RYTHING –
These navy velvet joggers look so rich against the sequins
– PRINT CLASHING –
The colors coordinate so it just sort of works
Fair Isle Sweater (same as above) | Plaid Pants | Red Pumps (old, similar here)
– DO YOU BLAIRE? –
This outfit reminds me of something Blaire Eadie would wear and I adore her!
Polka Dot Blouse | Plaid Pants (size small for reference) | Bow Brooch | Strappy Pumps
