Sure, a little black dress is always on par for a holiday gathering, but who says holiday dressing has to be so predictable every year? Abandon your mini dresses (just for now) for a blouse that packs as much punch.
Sparkling dresses, gold and silver, sky-high pumps and bright red lipstick -- these are the common makings of the holiday season wardrobe. Enter: the hoodie. When paired with a pleated velvet skirt, this outfit can take you from the office party to a festive gathering, and you won't even look out of place.
Plaid is one of the few prints that we just can't get enough of. Despite it's steady rise in popularity the past few years, most variations of the pattern are considered classic. Lending a bit of sophistication to almost every item, we particularly love it when it's featured as outerwear. Throw a plaid coat over your basic turtleneck, jeans, and boots for an elevated day-time look.
