Sequins, glitter, sparkle, and stilettos- it’s the holidays baby! Parties have already started, which means we’re putting our best foot forward and dolling ourselves up. Whether you’re buying something new or rummaging through your closet, I’ve put together two easy looks to help inspire you.

Mini Holiday Lookbook

This dress has loads of sparkle without sequins and puts a twist on that beloved little black dress. I’m a sucker for a dress with long sleeves. I get to show off some leg and keep the rest covered, which makes me a happy girl. Pairing the dress with minimal amounts of jewelry that still have a great sparkle. The clutch has a thin chain strap, which is very useful when you’re done carrying it in your hands. Now, let’s not forget about the shoes. These little stunners are drool worthy! Beautiful cutouts with a low heel that won’t have you crying by the end of the night. Since the dress is the standout piece, I opted for a subtle nude-pink lip color with a smokey soft brown shadow.

Everyone and their mamas should have a classic blazer and a white tee…and a sequin skirt. Now hear me out! A sequined skirt is so versatile. You can dress it up like I did, or pair it with a sweater, some tights, and cute booties. BAM! You have yourself a blinging casual look. But let’s talk about the rest of this outfit, shall we? I’ve paired this look with the same accessories as the first but changed into these ankle-strap sandals. Just like the first pair, these have a low heel and go with just about any outfit. I also switched up my lipstick for a beautiful burgundy color, because red lips are a must for a holiday party! Right!?!

Which look is your favorite? What kind of holiday parties do you guys attend? For us, we only have family parties, so sadly you won’t see me strutting my stuff in any of these gorgeous looks. All my looks will include very stretchy pants and loose tops. This mini holiday lookbook made me feel like I was at a party of one and it was loads of fun. PLUS, I didn’t even need wine…
