Holiday Shopping: All That Glitters

After a recent shopping trip to Bloomingdale’s I was inspired to start the first in a series of Holiday-related posts that I’ll be including over the next couple of weeks. The entire store seemed to sparkle with party-worthy pieces that would be the perfect addition to any girl’s holiday wardrobe. For more casual wear, I saw adorable sweaters with metallic threading such as this one from J.Crew and this great one from ZARA. Paired with black jeans for daytime or a skirt and tights for a dressier option, these knits are a great way to include some subtle sparkle into your holiday ensemble.

For a more glamourous Holiday party look, I suggest investing in a great sequin skirt or top. These pieces will end up being much more versatile than an all-out sequin dress. They can be mixed and matched with different items in your wardrobe to create multiple looks. For example, you could pair this gorgeous sequin miniskirt from ZARA with a chunky sweater (like the model has on) for an unexpected easy-chic look OR dress it up with a silk tank and heels for a dressier option.

I also love the idea of taking an all-black ensemble that you’ve already worn to death and throwing on a great sequin jacket for an instant glamour boost. If you’re looking for something a bit more subtle than a sequin jacket, sparkling accessories can have the same effect. A great sequin purse, shoe, or scarf will dress up pretty much anything you pair them with.

Below I have included some adorable (and well-priced) options for those of you that are looking to add a little glamour to your look this winter.
