Holiday Style

Stylish Monday – 5 Pieces You Need for the Holidays

Tartan plaid has become my winter/holiday obsession! It actually started with the Betsey Johnson booties! My quest was then on to find the perfect plaid blazer! While Tartan plaid can be considered a classic, it can be mixed with something a little more edgy like my faux leather leggings! This was my holiday look I wore to the Advent by Candlelight event with my mom! I even got asked, “Which came first? Your booties or the blazer?”

Tartan Plaid Blazer: Venus
Faux Leather Leggings: My Closet (Amazon)
Plaid Booties: Betsey Johnson from Dillards
Mom and Me- Advent by Candelight

These boots get so much attention! I had a lady follow me until she caught up to tell me how fantastic they are and wanted to know where I got them. The heels are a real show stopper! Blinged out heels – be still my heart! I love them so much I wore them two days in a row. Truth be told I’d love to wear them every day!

1. The Statement Sweater

Warm, cozy and ready for holiday dressing! A sweater can be easily dressed up or down and pairs perfectly with skirts, dress pants, jeans and leggings. Now is the perfect time to shop for embellished and blinged out sweaters. Don’t limit yourself to only wearing them during the holidays! The statement sweater is one of my most favorites to wear throughout the holidays and all winter long!

Rock’in around the Christmas tree in this holiday perfect sweater! The multi-colored sequins sparkle and shine! This look is the trifecta of FUN: sequins, glitter belt and rhinestone heels! Red pants are velvet!

Glitter Belt: Amazon
Red Velvet Pants: Banana Republic
Plaid Booties: Dillards

2. The Party Dress

The party dress can be as easy as a little black dress to full on sequins! It just depends on your comfort level and your event! Or choose a bold color such as red or hot pink! Both of these dresses would be holiday perfect! I particularly like the statement on both: one flower ruffled shoulder (red dress) and the rose buds (pink dress). They’re classic yet interesting! The best part is they’re both on sale for $59.99!

3. The Finishing Touch

Accessories totally complete a look and at this time of year there’s no such thing as too much bling! (See our previous post: Accessories Make the Outfit) Adding a touch of bling or going with big bling can totally elevate a look! A little extra is never enough this time of year! You know my theory: “No such thing as too much!” “Go BIG or Go Home!” LOL!

4. The Perfect Coat

The perfect coat makes everything look good! If you live in a cold climate like I do, you have to cover up to keep warm so why not consider a coat as part of your overall look!

Vintage coat that was once my Mom’s!
Fur coat was a gift from Mr. FTF many, many, many Christmas ago!
Blue fur coat last year from Amazon!
Leopard coat a couple of years ago from Amazon
Red Pea Coat (a classic that I’ve had forever)

5. The Bold Top

The bold top is the perfect way to get festive and turn some heads! Bold tops can be paired with skirts, dress pants, leggings and even jeans! This makes the bold top extra versatile and easily styled so many ways!

What screams holidays more than sequins and glitter?! This top makes a bold statement with the oversized sequined sleeves! Paired with leather pants, booties with glitter heels and a glitter belt….voila! The perfect holiday look!
