Another title for this blog post would be; "Christmas holiday Outfit essentials." Nothing says I wish you a merry Christmas in an outfit more than a sequin dress, a velvet blazer, metallic heels and a sparkly clutch, all in one if that makes sense. This is my last post on the blog this year. I wish you and yours a very merry, happy, safe and blessed Christmas and a happy new year. Thank you so much for stopping by my blog. Be blessed always. Merry Christmas again 🎄
Christmas Church service, family Christmas dinner party? The invitation can come last minute and when it does, you should be able to get ready quickly. One thing I would like to commit to in the new year, is to live sustainably. And sustainable living includes restyling pieces from my closet over and over. In this post, I'm wearing this tulle dress which is actually a tulle skirt previously worn here. To restyle it as a dress, I cinched it with a large belt and pulled the upper part of the skirt over the belt to hide the belt and also to form a bodice. I threw a blazer over it and accessorized with pink accessories. This outfit can be worn to church, informal Christmas parties and concerts. Wishing you a very, very merry Christmas! 🎄

My last post was on how to have a stress-free Christmas: Fashion Edition and this current post deals on lifestyle edition. Now, I'm not talking about what to wear for the holidays but rather how to act in order to have a stress free celebration. I must admit first of all that I am no lifestyle expert but I do have tips that have helped me and I would share them on here. The pictures on this blog post were previously published here on the Blog. And this is also one way I am cutting down on my stress as a fashion blogger; repurposing pictures from my old blog post to create new Christmas content on the blog. So, my tips are as follows;
Red is the trending color of the season so it's no surprise that it is showing up in holiday outfits at the retail stores. I was eyeing this red sequin skirt at JCrew before the Thanksgiving holiday and then it sold out pretty quickly even at the steep price of $260. I checked around for an alternative and saw this red midi length sequin skirt at Target. This skirt is different in color, style and quality though as it's always with dupe items. However, if you style it with the right accessories and pieces, you'll definitely look chic and sophisticated like the model wearing the more expensive JCrew skirt. Everything has to do with styling when it comes to fashion; a mix of high and low 💯
The Target sequin skirt does not have the same quality with the JCrew one from what I can see from the pictures but I think the price of $30 is fit for the quality that you get compared to the splurge sequin skirt at JCrew. The slit on the Target skirt is also a little too deep. If you are shopping for a red sequin skirt for the holiday, you can check out the links below and you can also search on Etsy for different styles at different price points. Happy shopping 😆
Velvet is a fabric that is associated with luxury and festivities and celebration, and velvet outfits have been used in the design and style of party and holiday outfits for years. A velvet outfit like a pantsuit, jumpsuit or a dress, is the understated, elegant piece you need in your closet for the holiday celebration. When you are just tired of the sequins, lace, tulle and silk party dresses, then think of velvet.
The outfits in this post are the different velvet outfits I have worn over the years to celebrate the holidays. You can click the link at the bottom of each outfit to read the blog post about the outfits. I hope this blog post would inspire you to shop for an affordable velvet outfit that you can wear for a long time. Thanks so much for reading.

The Christmas season is the season of giving and receiving and if you are still looking for last minute gift ideas that is affordable and yet chic, check out this gift guide that I have put together for you. As always, I would like to remind you that this blog does not run on affiliate links or marketing so the shopping links shared here ("Shop Similar Styles") are for your reading and viewing experience and the prices of the items are the current prices they are today.
This blog post is a repost of a blog post I published a few holidays ago. It is the traditional holiday colored outfit; red, accessorized with the traditional holiday print, plaid. This is a simple and chic way to style a pantsuit for the holiday. If I was restyling a red pantsuit again for the holiday this year, I would switch out the plaid shoes and accessorize with silver accessories or gold metallic.
Gold and metallic accessories complement red outfits so well. Check out this old Blog Post here. A red dress is also a great option over a red pantsuit anytime too. And if you do not want to wear a red pantsuit or a red dress, you could create monochrome outfit by pairing a sweater with a pant or a skirt. Are you celebrating the Christmas holiday with any special outfit this year? Thanks so much for reading.
The cargo fashion trend; clothing items made from durable fabric with multiple pockets and wide belt loops; is still going strong as ever. This style which is a resurgence of the Y2K or year2000s fashion trend exudes a vibe of effortless casual chic which I really love. I dabbled into the trend by getting this cargo denim skirt and a pair of khaki pants which I will style in a different post.
For this fall look, I paired the skirt with a black cropped cardigan and a biker jacket which is my hubs gifted me recently. The jacket is really heavy but it's also very warm and comfy. We know that this skirt already has lots of pockets and paired with a biker jacket, there are even more pockets in the outfit so I decided to tone the look down with a mini bag that I purchased from Aldo Shoes (currently sold out). A pair of Steve Madden booties completed the look. so, my style tip is this; style a mini bag with a cargo piece for an effortless look. Thanks so much for reading.

Hello, hello and hi. It sure has been a long time! This might be the longest I have ever stayed away from this blog. I hope everyone is doing great in this crazy world we live in these days. This is a quick post just to say hi. In this post I am wearing this knit dress I styled here a while back on the blog. There is also a video on my Youtube Channel where I showed several ways to style a knit dress. You can check it out here. I hope to be back again sometime soon. Thanks so much for reading.
Summer and a white dress and natural accessories like straw and raffia shoes and bag or a hat (not included in the outfit above) just go hand in hand like peanut butter and jelly. This outfit style just screams, "sun is out, let's go have some fun!" Have you worn any "all white outfit and tan accessories" yet this summer? This outfit collage is to remind you to enjoy the dog days of summer because winter is just around the corner. happy viewing, happy styling.
Denim is having a big moment this season as you can tell from all the denim pieces you see around in the streets and on the runways; denim skirts, blazers, shirts, jumpsuits, vests, dresses, accessories...denim is just everywhere. If you are into this trend, you don't need to spend much to get into it as you can find good quality denim pieces from second hand or thrift stores or just dig deep into your closet; you just might find that one piece you purchased years ago and then hope that it still fits; haha! 😊
The pink dress is almost a summer essential, or should I say the color pink? I love pink in the summertime and this season, pink color is having a moment especially because of the Barbie movie; Barbie core, as they say is a big trend this summer. Here, I restyled this H&M pink dress that was a huge trend a couple of summers ago. I restyled it by making the hem shorter with the use of a belt. You can see how I achieved the new look on my YouTube video here. You can also see another restyling of it on my Instagram. The goal is to continue to restyle old pieces from my closet. Thanks so much for reading.
