Holiday Dress Up Games ... What to Wear!

Thinking about what to wear to make your best impression for Santa and everyone else this year? 


Soon it will be time to shine as the holiday season arrives and invitations start rolling in for cookie exchanges, office and cocktail parties, holiday open houses, family get togethers, straight on through to New Year's Eve. It's always a good idea to plan ahead so that you are perfectly pulled together. You'll be happy you did when you run smack into your ex looking GORGEOUS and effortlessly radiant!

Hues of red are always popular this time of year and if you are out shopping for something to wear, you will have tons of options for that LRD, little RED dress. Lace is also a super big trend and I love this dress, in red lace, seen on Miranda Kerr at the opening of David Johnson's flagship store in Sydney, Australia.  Get a look-alike dress on the right, at janenorman.co.uk for $85.

Sequins, Shimmer and Glitz ...  Oh MY! Embellished choices are everywhere and perfect for dress up games! I was surprised to see such a great and beautiful selection of high shine at Express.com ... available at price points around $100 to help you sparkle. 

Old Hollywood Glam is another big trend this year with longer pencil dresses back in fashion alongside one shoulder styles.  Also, color blocking in all the right places can make you look 10 pounds thinner using optical illusion ... think vertical or keep the darker colors on bottom to help diminish width. 

Remember to finish off your holiday look with some great accessories. Sparkly shoes like these blue satin rhinestone peep toes from VinceCamuto.com for $139 are perfect to turn up the volume on a ho-hum dress. Add a bold cuff or stacked bracelets to draw attention to your wrist like this Roman holiday design for $39 from Shopruche.com. And don't forget about adding a festive clutch ...  with a chain if you want to be hands-free to eat and be merry!
