Let's get into the HOLIDAY spirit!!! 🎄
I'm starting off a series of blog posts all made to excite us and get us into a festive mood this time of year. Today it's all about the glam outfits, each one made to party because I know this is the season of attending parties from work related gatherings to family Christmas dinners. So I've got style ideas and tips to help you pick an outfit appropriate for each type of event and mostly give you the confidence to walk into the room and have an incredible time. Are you READY?
When it comes to holiday parties... let's just say they are my specialty,hahaha because I love socializing, drinking (shhhh), dancing, laughing and I always having a blast deciding what to wear. That being said, you're in great hands! Just read until the end of this post, gather outfit ideas that suit your personal style and clear some time for a bit of online shopping. 😁
1. Girls Night-Out
If you're planning to get together with your girlfriends for the holidays, exchange gifts and have a few drinks at a bar, this is the kind of outfit you should go for. Your look should be fun, bold and festive. You can be more free in your choice of clothing, meaning you can most definitely go for sheer fabrics and show a bit more skin than at other parties. Plus, I'm assuming they're your closest girlfriends, so they know you better than you know yourself, and more than likely, you always feel you can be your true-self in their company.
I know I love wearing metallic, sequins and see-through fabrics during the holidays, so I decided to mix them up into this one outfit. It screams party and it's a super fun night-out look! Just be ready... an outfit like this might get you a few more free drinks. LOL! Cheeeeers!
Lots of work places organize their own annual Christmas parties, which you most definitely will have to attend. You've got to have an outfit for this type of party as well! Here, it's important to still keep it professional and classy. However, you can play with the festive red and green colors for something more fun than your usual work outfit. Stay away from pieces that reveal too much skin. If you've got a low cut top or a dress you're not too sure about, have a blazer on top to make it more appropriate. You wouldn't want your boss/colleagues to see that side of you! LOL! Also, at a work party, there's nothing worse than others staring at your outfit, being distracted, not looking you in your eyes when having a conversation.
A safe bet is always a white shirt, pencil skirt and long pants. From there you can add something red or green, or why not both, like I did here. This outfit is prove that you can still add some holiday cheer to your work party outfit!
3. Christmas Family Dinner
'Tis the season for getting together with loved ones and celebrating! There's nothing like spending the holidays with your family, seeing the joy and sparkle in their eyes as we bond over shared past memories. In many cases this is the only time we get to see close relatives since a lot of us have families spread all over the world or in different cities. Thankfully, holidays like Christmas are able to connect us and make us feel home!
On Christmas Eve my family and I always have a special dinner, which later leads us to opening our presents under the Christmas tree. Years ago I made it into a family tradition because I couldn't wait until Christmas morning to open gifts. Santa said it's okay! LOL!
On this special family holiday, I love dressing-up, adding a bit of spark. Anything gold is my absolute favorite and when it shines it earns extra points in my boo just like this cozy, shiny sweater! The golden theme continues with the long tassel earrings and the pleated skirt. Definitely go for something comfortable that makes you feel happy, in the mood to eat, celebrate and eat some more... hahaha!
4. NYE Party
We can't let the holidays slip on by without welcoming in the New Year! 🙌 This is where all the FUN happens in your outfit and outside of it. hahaha! Who's excited for 2020?
There are not limits when it comes to your party look...ok, maybe don't show-up naked. But I mean, you can go all out with accessories, your sequin dress which you've probably worn only once before, and your most uncomfortable heels, which you haven't even touched. hahaha! I'm laughing out loud because that's so me!!!
Easiest choice for a NYE party is a sexy dress or a playful two piece set. Both are meant for a wild night, just you know, a little heads up. I already have in mind what I'll be wearing this year. I might even show you, if you're really curious?!
