Holiday Party Outfit Prerequisites

Taking pictures indoors is definitely NOT my preference. But, it was between taking photos on a rainy New Jersey day, or a simple wall in my house. Not the most creative, but what the photos might lack, hopefully, the outfit makes up for.

Outfit Details:

Pink Pleated Blouse - Forever 21 / Cobalt Blue Jeans - Marshalls / Luscious 23 Glitter Bow Pumps - Lulus.com / Chrystie Cross Bib Necklace - BaubleBar.com / Lanyard and Rhinestone Rope Bracelet - Henri Bendel

I'm absolutely on this mixing loud colors kick for winter, and which led me to wear this outfit to a casual holiday party. It's not your standard "Christmas party" festive, but I thought it was dressy yet casual enough to be appropriate. Plus, I darkened my hair, so my clothes have been looking slightly different on me.

Just because it's the holidays, that doesn't mean all you have to wear is gold, black and red. Let's reserve those colors for Christmas decorations, shall we?

My holiday outfits, I say play up colors other than the one's you find on Santa's sleigh:

For holiday parties, go with loud and non-traditional winter color choices since it lets your outfit stand out against the typical party-goers rocking traditional December hues.

Plus, you can add wear your most flamboyant accessories with em. Glitter pumps and bib necklaces = a holiday party outfit prerequisite!

Case of the Cyber Mondays

Hope everyone got their grub on for Thanksgiving, and also, their shop on for Black Friday. As promised, I did head out at midnight for some sales, and boy, did it pay off. My husband and I scored a 40" TV on the cheap, and even managed to save on some killer clothing sales.

But the best is yet to come!

I've got my credit card ready, finger on the trigger, and eye on the prize as I scope out these Cyber Monday steals from some of my favorite sites... all of which are hosting sales!

Let's start with a holiday-party themed outfit board filled with every item featured on sale for Cyber Monday!

Kate Spade, Jeffrey Campbell, Vanessa Mooney - oh my! I figure it's not too shabby a look for a holiday party. Even though the dress, from Modcloth.com, is red, it's still a great summer buy. And the Kate Spade Ruby Street Little Kennedy Bag is something I've had my eye on for a while now...
