THE THREE G’S: GLITZ, GLITTER & GLAM
Dressing up for the holidays should be fun and relatively easy! Just think about how to add a little sparkle, glitz and glitter! As you know, I’m all about those adjectives…glittery, glitzy, glamy and for me more is always better! The holidays give me a reason to add more sparkle than I might normally do. I know that it isn’t everyone’s comfort zone so I’ll share some simpler looks as well as full on glam looks!
CASUAL HOLIDAY GLAM
An easy way to create a simple holiday look is to wear something red, something plaid, a sweater or jeans with some embellishments, metallic touches…you get the idea.
This look can easily be worn all winter long!
SHOP THE LOOK: Jeans with Pearls & Sweaters with Embellishments
SHOP THE LOOK: White and Silver Booties
SHOP THE LOOK: Sequined Sweater and Red Jeans
This look can be worn winter long! Vests are a great fashion solution for hiding any midsection flaws!
SHOP THE LOOK:
La Seine Knit Vest with Removable Faux Fur Collar from Stein Mart
Comes in three colors!
These plaid pants scream holiday and are so easy to dress up or dress down. Here are two ways I’ve styled them already. I also plan to wear them with a solid white sweater and a solid yellow sweater. If you only get one new item, I’d recommend these!

SHOP THE LOOK: The Audrey Pant
This year we’re wearing “ugly Christmas Sweaters”! I can’t bring myself to get an ugly one! HA! No surprise! This Mrs. Christmas sweater caught my eye and I couldn’t resist it! I just happened to have these faux glasses from a previous costume so couldn’t resist taking some pics wearing them with the sweater! Do you have an ugly Christmas sweater?

BRING ON THE GLITZ & GLITTER
You might recall these two looks from our previous post on various ways to style faux leather leggings! Click here for faux leather legging styling tips! These leggings are such a favorite of mine and super easy to dress up for the holidays! The other items I already had in my closet. The leggings are the only new item and a steal for only $15.99!

TRY ONS AT EXPRESS
Express has lots of great sequined and velvet items! I purchased the top on the right. It will stye perfectly with a velvet jacket or a jacket I have with sequined sleeves. This sequined dress was AH MA ZING!!!!

Lori loved the pants and the red top! She typically wears black and white so she decided to purchase the red top for a change! While the black top had some great details – rhinestone v neck and metal rings – , she felt as though the material was too clingy in the middle.
This dress was going to be a possible solution to finding an “ugly sweater”. The fitting room was cold so we were trying things on over our clothes. We had a good laugh at the top Lori was trying on – note the placement of the roses. Neither of these made it into our final haul.
Due to being cold, I kept most of my clothes on while trying on this sequined skirt and velvet blazer! You’ll have to image what these two pieces would look like styled with a different solid colored top and some glittery or velvet pumps! I love everything about these two pieces! It’s a great look for both Christmas and New Years!

A co-worker brought these Katy Perry shoes to my attention! Not sure they’re my cup of tea but we all had a good laugh at work! (Laughing is a great stress reliever! Did you see our blog post on 7 Tips to Stay Stress Free during the holidays? Click HERE)
SHOP THE BOOTIES:
My Co-Worker loves me so much that she took the time to create my very own pair of knock off Katy Perry The Caine Booties! HA…couldn’t resist sharing them with you! Aren’t they cute?! They’ll pair perfect with an ugly sweater if I can bring myself to buy one!
RED LIPPIE
In order to complete any holiday look, consider wearing a bold read lip! There are so many shades of red today that I’m sure you can find one that suits your skin tone. Here are my favs for this season.
