Holiday Party Outfit Ideas

Who's still having holiday parties? We are. And by "we", I mean the Serbian Orthodox who operate on the "late Julian" calendar. Meaning our Christmas and New Year was delayed say...13 days. That's right, that means I celebrated both, both times. Not to mention our family celebrates our saint (Sv. Jovan) towards the end of January so it's just a party, after party, after party. And I'm all partied out. But I couldn't close out the party season without sharing one of my favorite outfits with you guys. *Record scratches* roll the sequins and glitter outfit rack back in.

If you’re anything like me, and you're over the excessiveness of the sequins and the glitter, I’ve put together a look that says “I’m here for the party, not as part of the party”.

As a self-proclaimed glam minimalist, I’ve been experimenting with different ways to dress for the occasions without falling into the trend box that comes with the season.

For example, wearing colors that are rich and vibrant and keeping the sparkles to the minimum and only in my accessories. This way I get to dress up the look instead of overwhelming it.

Tights and stockings are always a fun way to enhance an outfit. I like the way the print in these, direct your eye upwards by elongating the legs, and introducing the rest of the look.

A simple shoe with a little touch of glam to finish off the ‘fit and tie in the glitz from the accessories et voila! Good to go.

If you’re not really a fan of big accessories, and like it keep it a little more clean and classic. You can always opt for a more simple but timeless diamanté stud earring. It’s glammed in a very elegant way, that way you can still stack your necklaces and put a little spice on your “everyday accessories”.

Thigh high boots are the easiest way to take it up a notch. Plain sheer tights for cohesiveness here and to keep the boots from riding down. A black mesh turtleneck to stay weather appropriate- if you will, and there you have it friends. A simple, yet sexy look for those of us who truly believe less is more.

So, my question to you is, which is more your style? Accessorized or chic-n-sleek? Hope you all brought in the new year exactly how you envisioned it and ready to go after everything you daydream about. Cheers to chasing your dreams relentlessly and turning them into reality.
