SHIMMERING HOLIDAY DRESSING STYLE.

With the flurry of holiday invites comes the inevitable "I have nothing to wear" conundrum. Instead of going all in on a new outfit for every event on the calendar, consider incorporating a few choice pieces in rich fabrics like silk, velvet, lace and metallic with hardworking pieces you already have in your closet, (as skinny black pants, a midi skirt). 
Here follow my suggestions about how to choose some festive picks without breaking the bank, but feeling always adequate and something more, even at the most formal events:

1) There's something about the holiday season that makes us want to dress like a disco ball, and sequins serve as our preferred method for doing so. I suggest you to go about it in good taste, of course, meaning it is better to opt for clean lines and classic silhouettes. Going beyond gold and silver is also important: choose glimmering black for subtlety, or colourful sparkle for a bolder moment. And, if you go the vibrant route, be sure to keep your accessories streamlined.

2) If not a head-to-toe look type, tempering a sparkly top with denim is also a good choice, especially for younger ones. What's cooler than a one-shoulder-silhouette with either low-waist jeans or a mini-skirt and a killer party-shoe or suede above-the-knee boots. 

3) A simple mohair/cashmere sweater or silk shirt tucked into glittering high-waist trousers or matched to a shimmering skirt is likewise achingly chic. Of course the best pared-back accessories for this showier look are a satin/velvet pouch and simple sandals or shoes. 

3) Another very trendy option this year is a velvet or flower-print long dress, matched with suede ankle boots and a velvet small cross-body bag, a favourite of front-row attenders. 

                          
4) For lovers of a more classic style, go for velvet and chiffon or lace: a timeless chic sheath dress, or a midi skirt either flared or ruffled plus top will make you feel like a princess.
