Add a little flair this holiday

For many of us the holiday doesn’t bring a bevy of opportunities to dress to the nines, but it brings many opportunities to dress to the “sixes”, (a made-up term, but I think you know what I mean). So with the average holiday festivities in mind, I would like to suggest some pieces to wear this season that will give you enough holiday flair to feel in the spirit and still appropriate for gatherings office parties or any family soiree.

This year there is renewed love of the color red. It’s one of those colors that looks great on nearly everyone, is extremely versatile, and it’s also guaranteed to get you noticed so I say invest in this hue this season. There are dozens of ways to integrate red into your closet, but a couple of my suggestions would be to buy a sexy red pump or a classic red sheath dress.

Another easy way to amp up your look is to add a little (or a lot) of sparkle with layered bracelets, cuffs and bangles, or by adding a fabulous cocktail ring and earrings.

A blazer is always a great solution for day and night and one of my favorite cuts again this season is tuxedo. This blazer can be paired as easily with denim as it can with a pair of leggings or a LBD.

Lastly, another way to add a chic cold-weather look to your wardrobe is to introduce a little faux fur. There are so many options out there right now – some that are amazing and some that are awful, so choose wisely. I recommend going with a cleanly designed vest or a practical yet stylish, puffer coat with fur accents.
