Christmas Day Church Style – Embracing Elegance in a Beautiful Blue Velvet Midi Dress

Today I’m sharing Christmas Day church style – embracing elegance in a beautiful blue velvet midi dress. I wore this dress for my flute recital in November. I had to find a way to wear it again and Christmas Day seems like the perfect time. Keep reading to the end to see what I’ll be sharing in this dress soon.

Vince Camuto Velvet Cowl Neck Ruffle Midi Dress

Isn’t this dress so pretty with its peacock blue color? As soon as I saw it, I knew it would be perfect for my recital. I had been struggling to find something that was comfortable to wear so I could breathe but still be elegant. The asymmetrical line towards the bottom and the cowl neck neckline is so flattering. The velvet fabric is extremely soft too. It also comes in a fuchsia color but this teal blue shade was perfect for the mood that I wanted for my recital which took place at night.

I paired it with these sparkly kitten heels that contrasted nicely with the dress. The shoes are extremely comfy as well and made it easy for me to perform that night. I hope to wear these heels throughout the year because of its neutral color. The rhinestones on the tops of these shoes make me so happy. ??

How to Wear Brown and Black Together this Holiday Season

Today I’m sharing how to wear brown and black together this holiday season. We see lots of red and green and even pink this time of year but what about solid neutral colors? Many of my clients shy away pairing brown and black in a look but there is no reason to fear. This chic color palette will look amazing now and even after all the holiday parties are over.

Shimmer Dotted Twist Front Top in Caramel Brown

The star of this outfit is this festive top from Chicwish. This top is the last piece I had to share from my collaboration with them. The very fun polka dot pattern and the flattering twist front detail and cutout make this top extra special. Because of its snug fit, it works wonderfully layered under a leather jacket, blazer, or cardigan. Brown is having its moment again this season so why not incorporate it into your holiday wardrobe?

New Favorites – Spanx Ponte Wide Leg Pants and Cosy Island Sock Booties

I loved my Spanx flared jeans so much that I decided to try out a pair of wide leg pants from them. They were on sale during Black Friday weekend. I am happy to report that they are amazing and should be added to every woman’s wardrobe. Talk about comfort and style! I got a petite size and there is no need for me to hem. Yay! These pants have a seam that goes down each leg which really helps elongate the body. I have been impressed with all of the clothing from Spanx.

Now on to my new favorite booties from Cosy Island. I shared my leopard mules on this blog last week which are so comfy to wear. These booties are the same and even more so. Even though there is a stiletto heel, I wore them to work for 5 hours with no problems. I am seriously thinking of buying the same pair in black.

What to Wear to Your Next Holiday Party that Sparkles and Shines

It’s time to focus on what to wear to your next holiday party that sparkles and shines. You need to go no further than Chicwish clothing. I was so excited to do another collaboration with them because they are a one-stop shop for all things that have glamorous holiday style. You can easily find the perfect dress, top, or skirt that will make you shine this holiday season. Take a look at what I will be wearing in the upcoming weeks.

Fuzzy Wrap Knit Top with Tulle Maxi Skirt

I am in love with this dreamy holiday look! The fuzzy sweater is so flattering because of the wrap details and it’s so comfy to wear. Pairing it with this beautiful tulle maxi dress is a no-brainer but I plan on wearing it with my flared jeans for a fun going out look. Because of the black and white color scheme, this outfit is timeless in my opinion.

The pumps are new as well and are a part of another collaboration I’m doing with Cosy Island. I cannot get over how comfortable their shoes are! I think the leopard print adds a bit of whimsy to this look.

Sparkling Bowknot Knit Cardigan and Sequin Mermaid Maxi Skirt

The color of this cardigan with these gorgeous rhinestone bows makes my heart sing! Add that flattering V neckline and the lantern sleeves and you’ve got a fabulous top. Wearing it with jeans or pants will work great but why not take it up a notch and pair it with this sequined mermaid maxi skirt? This combination is the ultimate in holiday glamour.

You can mix match all of these pieces this holiday season. Which one is your fave?

Add an Elegant Pearl Touch to Your Holiday Looks

Add an elegant pearl touch to your holiday looks this season. This gorgeous crochet pearl flower top was something I discovered at the boutique that I work at. I couldn’t think of a more perfect top to wear for all those holiday parties. What are you wearing for all the parties you plan on attending?

She + Sky Open Crochet Pearl Flower Top with Cami

I have found this top at a couple of online stores so you aren’t out of luck if you want one for yourself. Every single time we received this top (so far in black and cream) it’s sold out in less than a week. I chose to pair it with my flared jeans for a fun going out look but feel free to pair it with any type of skirt. Because of the crop length, I think it would look fabulous with a fit and flare midi dress.

When wearing clothing with pearl accents, keep your accessories simple and minimal. There is no need to compete with the beautiful elegance of pearls.
