Holiday dressing is an annual event, and this year the ante on the usual suspect trends is being raised. Sequin skirt during the day with a sweatshirt, why not! Crystal encrusted matching sets definitely apply! Velvet boot with a sweater dress goes to lunch, yes please!
The good news for your shopping list is that you can get more out of these special pieces throughout the holiday months and I would encourage you to dare in the daytime. Bringing joy to your day and to others is important always and especially during this time of year. Wishing you a wonderful holiday season sparkling bright with those you love!
Daytime Sequins
Sequins evoke the magical feeling of the holidays we felt as kids—and that feeling is always a welcome addition to a casual setting!

Sets with Shine
For this holiday season, try embracing sets with an element of shine instead of defaulting to a dress for a more playful approach. Then you can break up for daytime looks, fun jackets with denim and bottoms with sweaters, tights, and boots!

Velvet, Velvet, Velvet!
Velvet is such a versatile fabric, and for me, a fabric that really screams “cozy” for the holidays. For the more formal affairs you may attend this year, focus on using velvet pieces to bring some coziness to your fancier events and then accept the challenge to sprinkle accessories into your (holi)day to day.
