Holiday Party Dressing
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! The time for glitter and all things fancy shmancy. Read on for some of my favorite dressy picks for this holiday season. All these picks also work for events throughout the year to come. And they all make great gifts too. Get ready to sparkle!
This flowy Hillhouse number is an absolute classic year-round. Jazz it up with sparkly costume jewelry for a party with a fancy flat or fun heel. And at $100 you really get a lot of bang for your buck with this versatile and flattering LBD. And it’s bump-friendly to boot!
The Castañer espadrille wedge originated in Spain in the 1930s, making it one of the most timeless shoes you can own. And from a very, very picky shoe shopper, these are very, very comfortable. For a mere $170, you can own a high-fashion staple you’ll wear for seasons to come. Pair with opaque black tights for a fashion-forward look fit for the front row.
Eco-friendly, animal-friendly, and chic AF. The Brilly bag by breakout brand Giarité is an instant classic. And it’s a steal at a mere $170. Perk: it comes with a crossbody strap so you can juggle those cocktails and passed hors d’oeuvres without sacrificing style.
Sparkly costume earrings are a trend here to stay. Real diamonds are not only not eco-friendly and endanger the lives of the miners, but they’re also ghastly overpriced, as we all know. Go for the much more eco-chic costume and affordable variety by fashion’s favorite costume jewelry brand, Swarovski, for a wow-factor that’s sure to turn heads. These beautiful hoops cost a reasonable €135.
This Swarovski necklace is the biggest splurge on the list, starting at €400 (prices go up for slightly different variations). Fit for a queen, you could wear this to dress up an evening dress or a t-shirt. Timeless, chic and oh-so unforgettable.
This terrycloth chunker by Versed is actually meant for pulling your hair back during your skincare routine. But it’s certainly chic enough for a night out! With its terry fabric, it can be worn casually during the day. And with its jumbo twist design, it can double as a statement piece during the night. At just $14.99 it’s an absolute must for headband lovers and newbies alike.
