How to shimmer and shine effortlessly through the holiday season.

Plan for the parties
And you're probably asking yourself...
What am I going to wear?
How do I look festive without looking foolish?
My kids and grandkids look adorable in crazy Christmas sweaters but they aren't really my thing. I do want to embrace the spirit of the holiday season. Is it even possible to look holiday-chic?
You bet it is. You can be better dressed without all the outfit stress. Let me tell you how.
Look at your calendar and take note of what you'll be doing and where you will be going. Is the attire super casual, everyday elevated, business casual, chic cocktail, or fab formal.
For each event, shop your closet for pieces you already have and create an outfit plan for every event or outing.
For example, are you going to the kiddos Winter performance? Plan a casual outfit of on-trend jeans, embellished sweater, pop of color flats and sparkly accessories. Have fun with this one and don't take it too seriously. Your grandkids or children will love you for it.
Going to the neighborhood or charity Holiday brunch? Check your wardrobe and build the look.
Start with the bottom piece. Do you prefer a skirt or pants? Maybe something in a dreamy winter white or polished navy blue?
Next add a shimmery blouse. Something in Silk or Charmeuse will add the look of sophisticated yet elevated ease.
Now the accessories. Holiday events just beg for bigger, bolder accessories. Try upsizing your classic hoops or bust out the rhinestone brooch. Maybe a metallic belt with your smart wide-leg pants?
For footwear, embrace the luxurious Fall trends of velvet shoes, oversized details unexpected embroider accents. "Tis the season for spectacular details to add drama to your wardrobe.
Finally going full glam? Plan your look from head to toe... in advance. This is not an outfit to throw together at the last minute. Schedule your hair and nail appointment prior to the engagement. Try on your frock. Does it need alteration and is there time to get it done? Do you have the right shoes and are they in excellent condition? You are bound to get the once over from top to bottom. Make sure your jewelry is eye-catching but it is not the star of the show . YOU are the main attraction and everything you wear will be the supporting cast.
