Happy Holidays 🖤

Holiday dressing is so much fun this time of year. Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years can all have different feels. This Jewish gal doesn’t celebrate Christmas, but I have always loved the feels and fashion of this festive time of year. New York is just beautiful during the holiday season. Regardless of religion and tradition, Christmas lights, songs, and merriment can be universally enjoyed. I may not be the one throwing the Christmas party, but I might attend one as a guest and would def enjoy dressing for it. There are so many ways to go for holiday dressing. This year I was feeling these sexy, pinned up leggings, heels, and a fitted, embellished Moroccan jacket. I love the edgy, rock and roll pin detail mixed with the exotic richness of the velvet coat. Heels and hair up are more of a rarity for me, but both details elevated the leggings and jacket from casual to party elegance. This same outfit can be worn to work with low heeled boots or flats, even with cool black sneakers. Def take it day to night if you’re short on time and need a quick presto chang-o. Swapping out shoes and a few well placed bobby pins can shift your ensemble in mere minutes.
I cannot enjoy a party if I’m not physically comfortable. A removable jacket in case I get hot is a must. Since you’ll be taking lots of pics at said party, you may want to snap some shots while getting dressed, to see if you like how your outfit photographs. I’ve actually never done this, but it just occurred to me as I’m writing and it makes sense. The holidays are a time for joy; whatever enhances that for you is important. If practicing poses and having beautiful pictures to post matters to you then do it! Create memories, laugh, eat, dance, hug, kiss, sing, give, and share. Yes, we are supposed to do those things all year. But the holidays force us to allot that time. They remind us how important it is to stop routine and inject something special into our lives🕎🏼🕺🏽.
