'Tis The Season For Holiday Glam

In just a few weeks you'll most likely be scouring through your closet looking for the perfect holiday attire to set you a part from co-workers alike. In the midst of new holiday trends, colors, styles emerging it's easy to get lost in what's party appropriate or what best fits your figure and frame.  Below I've pulled some ideas from multiple shops that are work not only for your upcoming holiday function but in many other events that creep up in your schedule.

Behold these two H&M classics; both are exquisitely fit for any social event this holiday season.  Both could be paired with tights, a fitted belt to clench the waist and heels or a pair of riding boots. And if you want to make these great pieces last a few times over, wear one to any wedding function, or evening out on the town.  These dresses can resurface again for your summer wardrobe with the help of a great cardigan, and a pair of wedges to complete your look.

Long skirts and formal dresses are also in full swing these next few months; The classic gold and silver gives a great twist for dazzle and shine to dress up any wardrobe.  If you choose a longer skirt make sure you pair it with a top that enhances the richness of the outfit and caters to the contrast you are working with to achieve your look. Any solid, bold, longer skirt will work in your favor as long as you create a composition that connects the two pieces together.  In the latter picture, it's clear that while the skirt offers its own attitude the shimmer and sparkle of the shirt truly brings it all together.

And just around the corner, at your nearby Express Fashions you'll notice the company is already rolling out holiday as well as New Years' favorites that are guaranteed to make you stand out. Check out their new arrivals page and your screen will be dancing with a handful of colorful options that can easily suit your frame and taste. The color block bandeau dress beneath serves as a brighter option that still presents that formal holiday attire but adds its own twist with a pop of color and sleekness.
