'Tis the Season

When you think of the Holiday Season, which colors come to mind? I think of white, red, perhaps even gold and green. This time of the year can get just as stressful as it is wonderful and magical. 

The last thing we want to ask ourselves, is what to wear to that office party, or friendly get together, or worse ... that date you've been so anxious about. 

Luckily, I came across one of the loveliest pieces I've seen all season that could work magic ALL year round, for all sorts of occasions. Is there truly a garment this versatile? YES BABE, THERE IS.

In today's post, I'm going to show you one very simple way to style it, that will surely have heads turning (and eyes glued). Oh and yes, that's real snow. Dedication level X1000.

To my ladies who appreciate a very chic silhouette, comfort, and class, look no further. This one shoulder jumpsuit, comes with an adjustable sash, to help accentuate and flatter your figure. 

Speaking of flattering your figure, thanks to the one shoulder fit, your collar bones have their moment to shine! Want to take that one step further? Add a little bit of highlighter on that area!

I always do this and it really makes a difference. Pop on just a smidge for a subtle effect, or if you really want to stand out, pack on that product! I personally love  Uranus by Jeffree Star Cosmetics (this one comes in the Manny MUA collaboration bundle).

Details, details, details. How elegant is this cut!? For my make up, I decided to keep my look neutral and simple, but did a classic red lip. It tied in perfectly with this look, and was very easy to create.

For jewelry, I used these Swarovski beauties. The chandelier effect added on to the simple, elegant vibe this whole look exudes, so I figured it was the perfect pair to go with. With pieces as glittery and romantic as these, there is no need for a necklace. The earrings do all of the talking on their own, just fine.

To complete the look, I decided to use one of my most prized possessions. This is an authentic vintage beaded clutch, with gold hardware. I honestly wish I knew which decade this beauty came from, but knowing it had a previous loving owner, makes me cherish it even more. Now it gets to live on with me, and become a part of my story. How charming!

 

I hope you enjoyed this post, as much as I enjoyed putting it together. It's always so relieving to find the perfect outfit for an event, and I hope this has inspired a look for you!

For the Holidays this year, I will be traveling to Portugal to be with my family. I will surely be collecting and producing content while I am overseas - so stay tuned!

Before you get going with your day, I'd like to leave you with this quote:
