How to survive the holidays with style
It’s that time of year that we all look forward to – once exams finally come to an end, our days are filled with shopping for gifts, spending time with loved ones, and attending holiday parties. It’s the season I look forward to the most, because let’s be honest, what’s not to love about the holidays? Not only is it about the delicious food and festivities – it’s the perfect excuse to dress up all year, and that’s where I come in to make sure you sparkle from head to toe this holiday season.
Holiday party style tips
With every Christmas comes at least one obligatory Christmas party which brings the usual dilemma into question; how can you pull off looking stylish, but stay classy and appropriate? A holiday party doesn’t have to mean an ugly Christmas sweater, although who doesn’t love a good ugly Christmas sweater? If you’re looking for ways to pull off flashy and stylish for this year’s holiday parties, here are some style tips for this festive season.
Little black dress
You can never go wrong with a little black dress (a staple every girl has in her wardrobe), and it’s a piece that’s easy to add sparkle to. Try adding a bit of silver or gold jewellery to your little black dress to make it look new again just in time for the holidays.
The perfect blazer
Jewel tone blazers are in style this season, and are a great pick to dress up your basic tank-and-skirt outfit. They’re classy, bold, and are a fun way to experiment with bold colours if you’re looking to try something a little different.
Textures and print
Printed tops and textures, such as faux fur or leather, can transform almost any outfit in your wardrobe, and are the perfect contrast with something simple. Patterned tops, leather tights, or a faux fur vest can do so much for you if you want to freshen up what you already own and create an entirely new outfit.
Party dress with tights
If you’re worried that you’re going-out dress is a little much for a holiday party, try pairing it with tights. Basic black, white, and tan tights can look great if you’re going for a simple look, but if you’re looking to jazz things up you can add brighter colours like fuchsia, turquoise, or red which would go perfectly with that little black dress.
New Year’s Eve outfit ideas
Finding the perfect New Year’s Eve dress is as exciting as it can be stressful – there are so many options it can be overwhelming to know which style to go for this season. Here are some basic styles that are classic, and will always look good no matter what you have planned for your New Year’s agenda.
Sequins
Sequined dresses, tops, and skirts are never limited when it comes to New Year’s, and are a sparkly addition to a fabulous outfit. You can never go wrong with a little bit of sequins if you’re looking to go casual with pants or a basic skirt, or go as dressed up as you can with a full sequined dress.
Timeless pale dress
If you’re looking to be set apart from the little black dress, a pretty pale dress is the perfect choice. A pale dress is a classy and timeless eye-catching look that can be simple or sparkling from head to toe – leaving you feeling unique but stylish.
Pretty in lace
Lace is a classic staple that can make any girl feel classy and beautiful in the right shape and colour. Whether you go for a lace dress, top, or skirt, you’re bound to look fashionable and fancy with a little bit of lace in your outfit.
