The Best Holiday Outfits

Plaid, winter white, bling, leather, houndstooth… these are a few of your favorite things! I asked and again, you rocked and answered with your favorite holiday looks. Let’s jump right in.

Leather T-shirt and a Statement Necklace

Here we have Serena. She is always rocking a great outfit and is an expert at pairing her statement jewelry with strong basics. This leather shirt makes me really happy. I may need to find one myself.

Look at those shoes!

Serena is rocking a Stella & Dot necklace, one of my favorite jewelry brands.

A Red Coat and Houndstooth Dress

Talk about easy and classy. Maria-Teresa’s tee is from Fashion. Food. Flair. She said her houndstooth dress is a staple during the holiday season for the many office parties she needs to attend. Paired with that red coat and tights, it makes me want to sip on some spiked eggnog and dance the night away…

I love the subtle pop of sparkle really pulls the outfit together.

Hello red bottoms.

“If you’re one of those people who has at least five holiday parties to attend, I would hands down recommend heading over to Zara. Not only do they have great prices, a lot of their items can be easily converted from day to night. Whenever I don’t feel like breaking the bank they are my go-to. This dress was only $59.99 and I’ve worn it both in the office and at an agency party (the one of many that are scheduled for this holiday season).”

A Green Blazer and Red Bowtie

Andrew is always rocking his bowties! I hope to do a more detailed feature about bowties soon. He is holiday fresh in this simple red and green ensemble.

This thrifted blazer isn’t just great for the holidays, but it fits him well and I hope he rocks it during all seasons.

Red and green.

Gotta keep it casual for the family!

White, Black, and Furry

 I love the simplicity of this outfit, but it still feels very wintery and glam. Belle from shares her cozy winter look with us.

I kind of want to curl up in that coat. I could see it going really well with a hot little gold dress for New Years Eve.

What a perfect little bag.

I bet she wears these shoes all the time!

A Red Lace Dress

Miss Angie here asked for advice on a great holiday party dress a couple weeks ago. She was going to a formal party for hospital employees. Angie likes sexy, which I love. I’m glad she found this dress at Tobi.com. I have my own red dress from there that is just perfect.

Anyone bring a fire extinguisher? Hot. Those black wedges are a great sassy staple.

Just a tad bit of gold is all you need to top this dress off. It says a lot all by it self.

Her holiday manicure!

A Red Lace Shirt 

This shirt is fresh! It is crisp and whimsical at the same time. The black booties and pants are simple, but still keep outfit feeling formal enough for a holiday feel.

What a rich color.

The blazer helps tone down the red if you need to for more casual settings.

Sued black booties (yes).

A Thrifted Holiday Outfit

Chaz spent his holidays reconnecting with close family and friends. He looks festive, comfy, and himself in this great ensemble. He is a fabulous thrifter and often takes notes from his years teaching in Japan.

Simple LBD with Bling

Tashena recently started selling Stella & Dot jewelry. She attended a holiday party to benefit the Massey Cancer Center with her new jewel slinging coworkers. She had to rock the brand!

Sparkly feet!

A smile is the best accessory.

I do this a lot to plan out my outfits!

Camel Sweater and Off-White Jeans

So, my two very good friends were coming into town for a long, leisurely, fancy cocktail kinda dinner. I had to run some errands earlier that day, which included returning a sweater I decided I didn’t like to Old Navy. Holy cow. It was the Saturday before Christmas. It was PACKED. I hadn’t been to Old Navy in so long. But I immediately started finding items I loved. Then, I realized many things were 40% off or more. This sweater and jeans were among the four items I picked up.

The pants were inspired by a friend. I think we’ve officially beaten up and put the “no-white-pants-after-Labor-Day rule” to bed on Sweet Sauce.

I paired it with some of my favorite gold items.

Secret: I got these earrings as a gift, then I realized no one would like them as much as me. One of the MANY pairs of earrings I got this month from Lou Lou Boutique in Carytown. My friends and family are going to have some blinged out ears.

Then, to top it off, my friend gave me this beautiful ring.
