Holiday Style with Simply Be

The holiday season is officially upon us, which no doubt means a jam packed social calendar full of celebrations, from day to night.  This season I am showcasing my holiday style with Simply Be– highlighting my top picks,  sharing festive style tips, and inspiring your holiday wardrobe with all the glitz, glam and sparkle of the season. From daytime office parties and family shindigs to night time happy hours, cocktail parties, and black tie affairs- Simply Be has something for everyone that will get you in the holiday spirit, and I am offering my readers a special treat {see below}!

 DAY TO NIGHT / A perfectly well rounded wardrobe is built on items that have longevity, can be mixed and matched in endless style combinations for several different occasions, and easily taken from day to night.

This easy to wear swing dress is a classic holiday color, paired with a festive embellished cardigan, black tights and closed toe shoes. An appropriate look for the office that is still cheerful for the season… {Shop the look HERE}

Transitioning to the perfect cocktail party ensemble is simple… remove the cardigan to show the sexy lace detail of the dress, throw up your hair, switch out your shoes for a sexier heel, and add a few statement pieces to your look. Bam! You are ready to celebrate without any fuss! {Shop the look HERE}

DINNER PARTY / Holiday dressing is all about the details… elegant prints, rich texture and glitzy embellishments all make for party perfect separates that can be just as fancy as wearing a dress, especially when paired together in unexpected combinations.

Prints, texture and embellishments can be used to balance out your shape when added to the smaller part of your body.

Add a dramatic faux fur cape to literally any ensemble you wear this season for an impressive look that is instantly powerful and chic. {Shop the look HERE}

BLACK TIE AFFAIR / Blush pink is an unexpected color trend in the forefront this holiday season, which is usually saturated with jewel tones, dark palates and metallic. Keep it soft, light and feminine for a spectacular black tie affair with this beaded and sequin gown that is dripping in shimmering details, making sure you leave an impression!

Keep the accessories light when wearing dresses with all over details, beading, and sequins. Let the beauty of the dress make the statement and do not overdue it with additional jewelry and patterns.  {Shop the look HERE}

COCKTAIL PARTY / LBD {LITTLE BLACK DRESS} The little black dress is every girl’s ultimate wardrobe must have! It is essential to have at least one go-to LBD that fits you like a glove and can be thrown on for a night on the town. Let your personality come through when choosing your LBD. A-line, body con, strapless, textured detailing, classic or a bit more edgy. What is your LBD personality?

Look for details in a garment that work to your advantage. The gold embellishing stops perfectly at the midsection of this dress to help visually define my waist, and the drama at the shoulder helps balance out my shape and draw the eye up to the top half of my body. LOVE!

Do not be afraid to try different styles and silhouettes that you may not think will work for you. You may be surprised! Typically I go for a more flared, A-line style dress since I have a “more in the middle” body type, but I fell in love with this body con style as soon as I tried it on! {Shop the look HERE}

NEW YEAR’S EVE / Layer on the details for a New Years Eve celebration! This is the perfect occasion to go ALL out and decorate the night with your spectacular ensemble. Sequins, gold, oversized faux fur and a glam statement necklace, all balanced out with a sleek faux leather skinny pant. More is more, and it works!

When mixing several different textures, keep them all in the same or similar color palate to keep them from clashing. {Shop the look HERE}
