Holiday Dress Guide

This is a holiday guide on what to wear for what events this holiday season.
Note: Towards the end of the post some of the pictures plaing are a bit messed up, just bear with me haha.

Formal Event:
These are some outfits you would wear to a seasonal dance, party, or any other event that would require more formal looking attire.

Bebe Knotted Peekaboo Dress


 Tip: Just because it's the holidays doesn't mean you have to stick to green and red.  Try "frosted" tones of blues or purple, meaning blue or purple with a silver-liek sheen!


Semi-Formal:
These are looks for something requires you to to look a bit dress-y but not completly done up. An office party or large famiy gathering would be good exampes of times one would dress semi-formally.



















                                                                       Dresses both by Express.

Tip: Fabric is key! Satin-y fabrics are perceived as more formal looking. Use this to your advantage. Pair a satin blouse with jeans or nice trousers. If your going for a strapless dress like the Express one pictured above do it in a less fancy fabric like cotton or throw on a chunky knit sweater. This will balance out your look and keep you from looking to fancy!


Casual:
These are looks you may wear to a casual dinner out or small gathering of friends and family. Although this occasion doesn't require you to dress up you still want to look cute and have people remembering how effortless-ly stylish you appear(:
