Holiday look 2: Jumpsuit



Coat: Ralph Lauren. Jumpsuit: Rachel Roy Similar here Also love the ones Here and Here. Purse: Tory Burch Shoes: Aldo 

        Jumpsuits are everywhere right now, and I couldn't be happier! I like to be a little more covered up most of the time, and a jumpsuit is the perfect way to obtain a dressier look without having to show it all off. A couple tips to buying a jumpsuit are to try and pick one that doesn't have an elastic waistband, I find that it can create a weird bunching effect around the tailbone that generally isn't flattering on any body type. Also, make sure that you can raise your arms without the whole suit riding up too high. If you are purchasing one in black I recommend styling it with a statement necklace and a possibly a printed or colourful shoe, but if you're doing colour try to keep all the accessories neutral. With that being said I've added a few links for some great jumpsuits that are available right now. Happy shopping,
PB

Holiday look 1: SEQUINS



Dress: JS Collection Similar Here and Here Jacket: Joe Fresh Similar Here Purse: Coach

        The holidays are the perfect time to bust out that sparkly little number thats been hiding in the back of your closet. It is always good to think about what kind of outerwear you have to match your outfit, thankfully I have this wonderful faux fur jacket that I can wear with all my lighter coloured dresses. I also want everyone to keep in mind that while you may buy a new dress for the holidays, you don't HAVE to buy all matching accessories that you may only use once, try asking a friend if they have a purse or earrings that match, or use something you already own that is close enough. Being stylish isn't about looking perfect, you don't need to break the bank to look great!

       Just a word from the wise, make sure if you are buying a sequinned dress you wear it around the store for a bit and make sure it doesn't rub or cut your skin (trust me it can ruin your night). Happy holiday dress shopping,
PB
