As the holidays approach so do the sometimes-dreaded holiday parties and we all know what that means: holiday sweaters.

Okay, maybe that only happened to Bridget Jones and Mark Darcy, but the holiday season can bring some pretty awful trends but also some chic ones. Enter sequins! Worn correctly, sequins can be tasteful, glamorous and stylish! Revamp the sequin holiday dress, find a sequin daytime look, and even a take on stripes all for under $35.

The Holiday Dress

Dress:  Tinely Road, $19.97 Blazer: Forever 21, $27.80 Heels: DSW, $34.94

By revamping the traditional sequin dress with sequin detail vs. entire sequins, you’re look is extremely chic for any holiday party! A simple black blazer is a great addition for chilly temperatures and some gunmetal platform wedges add height and pizazz.

For Daytime

Sweater: Forever 21, $32.80 Leggings: H&M $9.95 Tank Top: H&M $5.95 Flats: Pierre Dumas, $29.99

By wearing sequins in a single piece, the detail is more concentrated and not overwhelming. Keep the rest of your outfit basic with pieces like these simple black leggins, tank and ballet flats.

Stripes: Sequin Update

Blouse: Forever 21, $19.80 Skirt: Forever 21, $6.80 Cuff: Forever 21, $14.80

By taking a feminine sheer chiffon blouse and tucking it into a more structured skirt you create a great contrasted look and rework stripes in a holiday-chic way! Add a chunky cuff to complete the look.

I’m starting to get into the Christmas spirit.  While I’m listening to classics like Mariah Carey’s All I Want for Christmas is You, or new favorites like Lady Gaga’s Christmas Tree, I find the Christmas spirit inspiring my wardrobe.  My favorite way to express my Christmas cheer: wearing red.

Red is a confidence color, making you feel hot, hot, hot when you wear it.  As red is known to boost self-confidence it is the perfect color to wear to family dinner when you’re facing interrogation from your Aunts as to why you don’t have a boyfriend yet. Red is also known to attract men, so put on that sexy red dress if you’re single (or wanting to impress your beau) when you’re hitting the town.

There are many fabulous ways to wear red this year – from the sexy red dress to the bold red bag – and here are just a few of my favorite ways to rock the hottest holiday color. Read More »
