Sequins and Sparkles in the new year

 



      

      Happy new year! I hope this new year finds you in great style with lots of sparkle and joy.  Here is to more sparkles and shine in 2024. If you must know, the sequin and metallics trend is still going to be huge this year. We are not leaving these rich fabrics and accessories in the closet this year; rather we are dressing up every day with gratitude in our hearts for each new day. Happy viewing, happy styling.

The Holiday Outfit staples: A sequin dress and a velvet blazer

 


        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 🎄

         Gift giving is not all that Christmas is about, but it certainly adds to the joy of the season and increases the Christmas cheer. It's just a few days to Christmas and if you are still in search of last-minute gift ideas under $50, look no further. Some items on the list are small enough to be stocking stuffers. 


It's a little late to get these gifts to your loved ones by Christmas day if you intend to put them in the mail but it's still okay if they get there the day after Christmas or the day after that or the day after that....you know what I mean? It is the thought that counts. There are no rules when it comes to sharing of love and joy in the season of giving. And as always, never forget that Jesus is the reason for the season 🎄

Restyling an old skirt from my closet for Christmas

 


        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! 🎄





Winter Fashion Trend: Metallics






        One of the big trends this season is "Metallics." This hue has somewhat taken over the fashion scene as we can see it in clothing and accessories. Usually, silver and gold metallics is a big trend during the holiday season but this season, we are leaving the gold metallics behind and mostly sticking with the silver metallics as we talk about winter fashion. One piece I really love is the metallic skirt trend as seen here and here and here. 


This midi length pencil skirt is different from the metallic pleated skirt that was a big trend seasons ago but that does not mean you can no longer wear your pleated skirt if you still have it.  This season, all silver metallics is on trend. And as always, if you do not want to wear a full metallic outfit like a dress or pieces like skirt or pant, you can accessorize with accessories like silver metallic purses and shoes. It's all about having fun with fashion. I had to pull out old pictures from my archives in order to comment on this trend 😁

Red is the color of the Season






        Red is the color of the season and it is not just because of the Christmas holiday. This vibrant hue can be seen everywhere in the stores and on the gram and on every fashionista; red outfits and accessories are everywhere. If you have never thought much of styling this color, this is the reason to give this beautiful hue a try. There is a shade of red for every complexion. And if you do not want to put on a full red outfit, red accessories would make any outfit pop. Happy styling...





How to have a stress-free Christmas: 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;





How to have a stress-free Christmas: Fashion Edition

 



        Christmas is supposed to be a time of joy, family, sharing and peace as it should be every season but we cannot deny the fact that a lot of people are stressed during Christmas every year.

Red is the color of the season: Sequin Skirt




        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 😆
