Holiday Party Styling: Five Looks

One of my favorite parts about big events is figuring out how I'm going to style my outfits. Once I've picked out my clothes obsessing over the shoes and accessories is my favorite.  I tend to keep my jewelry pretty simple and have staple pieces I work with but shoes and bags are always fun to play with!

I pulled together some really fun looks for some events I have coming up through the rest of December.

Look 1:  I have this Loft scallop lace dress on it's way to me and I'm hoping it's as good in person as it is online.   I've put together two looks for this. The classic and the fun look. I think this dress could really go either way so I thought it would be fun to see what you could pair it with. How fun would the red pumps be with an animal print clutch?

Classic Look:  Pearl cluster earrings// pearl bracelet// clutch// pumps

Fun Look:  Teardrop earrings// pave bracelet// clutch// pumps 

Scallop Lace Dress

Look 2:   This is a more casual look that I would wear to Christmas eve or Christmas day dinner. It could work for an at work Christmas party too!  You can really dress this look up or down based on accessories you choose. Just swap out the booties for some pumps and you've got a whole new look.

Cable knit sweater// jeweled necklace// crossbody bag// double ball earrings// 
booties// tartan skirt// gold cuff 

Look 3: Here is another cocktail party look that would be great for a holiday party or New Year's Eve!   This Skater bow back dress was on my post from Monday and it arrived on Thursday to me- it is so cute on and I love the material.  It looks like it's sold out but I've linked similar ones below.   It's still a contender for my holiday parties and here is how I would style this one.

Look 4:  This is another casual look perfect for a holiday dinner with friends or cookie exchange (my favorite kind of holiday party!).   I love love love these studded cat Charlotte Olympia flats!  They are out of my price range but oh so fun!

Cashmere Scarf// Cable knit sweater// Pearl cluster earrings// Handbag// Pave bracelet// 

Pants// Flats 

Look 5:  My last look is another classic cocktail party look.   I love the look of this sheath dress.  It is sexy yet long enough that you could wear it to your office party or a party at your boss' house.   One day I need to add those Stuart Weitzman Nudist heels to my collection.  I feel like that look would never go out of style.  

Dress// Teardrop earrings// Bracelet// Heels// Clutch
