It's That Time Of Year...

For Holiday Parties!

This is going to be geared more towards females, sorry fellas!
Finding the perfect dress and accessories is even more stressful then going to the actual event.

Some key things to keep in mind!
- Don't buy a dress or accessories that you will never wear again!
- Buy a dress that is perfect for your body type; just because you see it on someone else; doesn't always mean it's going to work for you!
- Please No Ugg boots! I don't care how cold it is! (I've seen it been done before)

Dresses Under $50.
- H&M
- Forever 21
- Charlotte Russe
- Nordstrom BP
- American Eagle




You don't necessarily have to go with a dress.
There is always a skirt and top.
-The top can be as simple as a tshirt tucked into the skirt.
-Pants and Blazar or Jacket of some sort.
-Embellished,Sequined, Plain.
I'm really loving the leather leggings as an alternative.
They are much dressier then a simple legging. 




Accessories are a great way to add oomph to any outfit!
Back to the tshirt into a skirt outfit choice...
- A great statement necklace can liven up the shirt.
Bracelets, rings, earrings!
-Just make sure they don't clash! Layering neckalaces and bracelets are another way.
Don't wear a bunch of necklaces and bracelets, so while you walk you don't jingle and somebody thinks you're SANTA!

I also love headbands. If your dress, shirt, blazar already has some type of embellishment on it, then this is a great way to add something but not be too overpowering. Forever 21 has a fantastic selection for under 7 bucks!






Lastly , what are you going to put all your stuff in?
A clutch , oversized, tiny or medium!
A chain linked bag!  
Remember- You can always mix colors and prints.
Those color clutch makeup bags, that sometimes come in gift sets are great!

Don't overfill your bag. It's not your everyday purse.
Keep:
-Lipstick /Chapstick/Gloss
-Powder
-CellPhone
-Femine Product (If Necessary)
-Camera

That is just some core basics that would be kept.
If you need medicine or something else, go ahead and throw that in.
