Holiday 101

I have quite a few holiday parties coming up this month and here is a look I created for one of the business casual ones. I wanted to be dressy but not look like I was trying to hard so I opted for clothing I already had in my closet and tried to spice it up a bit.

I also wanted to be comfortable so I went for a flowy skirt and top combo rather than a dress because as I eat, drink and be merry I didn't want to worry about an expanding tummy from all the goodness I was taking in. The shirt has beading down the front and on the bottom but I took it one more notch with my sparkly earrings to "up" the holiday effect. Finally, I added a non-stiletto high heel shoe in case I overindulge in one to many Spiked Eggnog drinks.

Gearing up for the holiday parties can be easy with a little sparkle and taking it one step further than your normal, everyday wear. If you get stuck in a holiday party rut ask me anything on formspring or afashionfixation@yahoo.com.
