Holiday sparkle

This look is so simple to put together for a party. I mean, I’d love to show you some glamorous cocktail dress but lezbehonest, that’s not my party gear. My group of friends is more like sweaters and flats… we like the practical life. So, this is one of my favorite looks.

How great is that jacket? My sister has had it for at least 2 years so getting it back kinda makes it feel like its brand new. #score

Check back later this week for a whole post dedicated to great jackets.

I love this outfit because it looks so pulled together but it isn’t too over the top either. It’s just so simple and classic. Plus it seems like it would actually be comfortable at a holiday party… that’s always my issue, I end up in shoes that hurt.. haha XO -Alexandra

  Thank you! it is super comfy. Shoes that hurt are no fun. I’m all about heels as long as I can wear them for short periods of time with little to no walking. If I have to do lots of walking or standing, they’re out of the question!

I think I need that necklace. O.o

Gorgeous. You can’t go wrong with animal print.

  The necklace is so versatile and I’ve worn it with tons of different looks! Thank you!

Do you consider nail polish a part of fashion? I always struggle in the winter with good colors especially around the holidays. Any suggestions?
- Claire
  
  Yes! You know how I love my nail polish! I’m loving dark green, deep purples and maroons/burgandys. All of these are on my wish list. Two of my favorites for the winter that I use all the time are navy and sparkly brown. Of course red is a classic. You can’t go wrong with any of those!

I love that necklace over the grey sweater! So versatile and really dresses everything up!

  Thanks! I almost wore a different necklace with this outfit and ended up choosing this one at the last second and I think it turned out pretty well. I love how versatile it is.

I love the subtle sparkle from your sweater! Especially peeking out from that really awesome coat!
- Claire
  
  Thank you! That’s my favorite part about this sweater. It’s not over-the-top sequins but it has a little shimmer to it.

That’s a great comfortable party outfit! The necklace is fantastic and adds a good amount of pizzazz
I can’t believe you got anything back from your sister after she’d had it for that long…that would NEVER happen with my sister ha!!
- Claire
  
  Ha!! I can’t believe it either but we’re always swapping things back and forth. She actually had it for so long that I forgot i was even missing it.

I’m totally down with the practical life! I love how you showed this holiday sparkle “dressy/casual”. You look beautiful!

I love the layered look of that necklace, so pretty! I have my eye on a pearl cluster necklace for my wish list this year, I think they are so versatile and classy. They work just as well with a fancy party dress or a sweater and jeans. That coat is such a fabulous statement piece!

  Thanks Nadia! I’m so happy to have the jacket back.
