Holiday Style Series {Party Time}

Happy Monday everyone! I bet some of you are possibly recovering from a fun party you went to over the weekend. I didn't go to any, but I do have my husband's annual work party coming up next Saturday and I always look forward to getting dressed up. There's no better time to put on the glitz and glam. For week two of the holiday style link-up, the theme of course is dressing up for a formal or semi-formal event.

Wearing: Asos top (old), Loft skirt, Zara pumps, J Crew factory clutch, Nordstrom necklace, family heirloom ring, and Nails Inc polish in Kensington High Street

I chose to wear a shimmery metallic blouse paired with a pleated skirt and gold jewelry. The details really elevate an otherwise simple look. I love the ease of a top and skirt because you can mix and match them with other pieces, which makes everything in your wardrobe go a long way. For fun holiday parties, I suggest metallics, sequins, playful prints and shapes, and anything that makes you feel fabulous! Now's the time to shine.

Here are a couple of other party look ideas:

Return of the {faux} fur

Both vest & blouse - Express

Nails - Nails Inc. {Kensington High Street}

Watch - Fossil

Bracelet - Stella & Dot {Renegade}

Every year, I wait patiently for the weather to change so that I can break out my favorite Winter pieces. It usually rains here a few times in the Fall, so I take advantage and wear my trench coat as often as I can. Then comes the chilly feeling in the air, and I know it's time for the fur vest! Once intimidated by the look, I now love wearing it with jeans and a simple blouse or sweater (last seen here). It's the perfect way to add some warmth without feeling too bundled up. 

Here are some great looks and ideas using a faux fur vest as the focal point:

Are you wearing faux fur this season? Only faux by the way...real fur isn't fashionable.

Holiday Style Series {Casual Gathering}

I am so thrilled to be teaming up with two very stylish bloggers for a holiday link-up series! For the next six weeks, we will be featuring a theme that will showcase our personal style during the most festive time of year.

The first theme? Casual holiday gathering. I am choosing to show you girls what I wore to my in-laws for Thanksgiving. And yes, I actually did wear this!

Wearing: Aryn K. jacket (old), Express blouse (similar), Loft modern skinny jeans (on sale today), J Crew pumps, Chanel bag, Baublebar bracelet

I've had this Aryn K. jacket for years, but have neglected it for awhile due to signs of wear and tear. I looked at it sadly hanging in my closet and decided it was high time to give it another chance. I love the feminine ruffles along the front, and it paired perfectly with my favorite blouse and cobalt pumps. Not exactly your traditional Thanksgiving day garb (I think last year I wore maroon and cognac). I just wanted to go for something different, and I think it worked :)

Be sure to check out these fabulous ladies On the daily Express and More pieces of me. Stay tuned for another holiday themed look next week.
