Women’s Guide to Convenient Hot Holiday Fashion: Haute, Haute, Haute, Merry Christmas!


Bah, Hum, Bug! Does this dreary, cold weather and your empty bank account leave you feeling like Ebenezer Scrooge? Does this put a damper on your Christmas spirit and your closet? Well I’ve consulted with the fashion gods of Christmas past, present and future and they’ve all spilled the hot chocolate on fashionable finds that are functional and affordable. For the more traditional spirit, an easy way to spice up your wardrobe is by layering chunky knit sweaters with crisp collared shirts, over-sized cardigans, structured blazers, furry vests and buttery leather jackets from Target and H&M with a budget between $10 and $60. You can spruce these staple pieces and essentials or any other outfit combination up with color blocking. The different variation of color adds vibrancy to the simplest of outfits. But, no outfit is complete without accessories. Scarves are a cute and comfy way to stay warm stylishly.  They come in an array of colors, fabrics, prints, and styles for no more than $15 at JCPenneys. Boots are a must-have; Uggs, booties and thigh-highs all serve their purpose at some point of the season and are just an investment you will have to make.  Get a pair and love them. Whether it’s a slouchy beanie, fitted beret, or a funky fedora, hats can also be just the peppermint you need to get fresh. One accessory that women often forget to wear is lipstick. With the holiday season in full swing, Mac Cosmetic’s Rebel is the perfect plum that can take your festive frock to the next level for just $18 bucks. Since the deep purple hue is a hit with all skin tones, it is the ideal stocking stuffer. You can peak into the future of fashion with a pair of readers.  Although not new, readers add an element of sophistication and power to match anyone’s personality. They are a trendy addition to holiday hotness that hybrid geek and chic. Take your hair to new heights with a high bun. Buns are easy and classic. You immediately light up the room with your presence. I hope you will unwrap these gifts of tips and utilize them every year. Don’t be caught dead beside a Christmas tree that’s more decorated then you. Christmas is just around the corner, kick your style into gear and strut right into it. “Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow!” you will be ready.
