Fashionista to the Rescue: Dazzling Holiday Apparel

The holiday season is here!  Not only does this time of the year bring shopping trips and sweet treats, social calendars begin to fill up with Christmas cocktail parties and New Years bashes.  Fashionistas love this time of the year because it allows us to show our glamorous side, dazzling party goers with sparkle and shine.

For any work gathering with coworkers, less is always more.  This is not the time to break out plunging necklines and high hems.  Think a classic pencil skirt with ruffled blouse.  Top that off with a bold red lip and statement earring and you will be dressed to impress.

Show more of your playful side at a cocktail party with friends.  This chocolate brown taffeta dress with front bow from Zingarella’s would look great on any body type.  Top that off with a chunky necklace and a jewel tone heel and your outfit will be one to remember.

Let your true diva come out on New Years Eve. This is the night to bring out your sequin and fur.  Remember to wear your highest heel, but make sure they are comfortable.  You want to be able to dance your way into 2012.

Here’s to show stopping outfits, delicious cocktails, and great company.  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
