Holiday Outfit Ideas: Rose Red

Personally, I never find it difficult to dress for the holidays--one advantage of my attraction to all things shiny, velvet and jeweled! I put together several outfits for the holidays and will post each one separately.

This outfit is perfect for a work event. Simple and elegant.
Take off the necklaces and switch out the jeweled sandals for black pumps 
and you can wear it during the day.
Magpie Styling Tip: Layer several bling-y necklaces together to give an otherwise plain outfit some pop.

Top: Ann Taylor Classic Wrap Top, no longer available in red
Pants: Paris Gordon Crepe-back Silk Katherine Pants. I've had these for six years and have worn them with a million different outfits. They have a slight sheen but not so shiny that you 
can't wear them to work.
Necklaces: Shorter one: Banana Republic Garland Necklace from last season. Similar here.
Shoes: Ann Taylor Jeweled Heels from last season

Holiday Casual

Holiday Casual
Holiday Casual by FLWritergirl featuring a wrap sandal
I'm on a tear this weekend! This is my first polyvore set. Several of you have asked for holiday outfits so I took some photos and am going to put together some sets. This outfit is so simple and it shows how you can layer a sequin tank top over a plain white button down. It add polish and is perfect for a casual holiday get together. I like to add a little bit of color to outfits. So, I added the red sandal. I might add a red bracelet as well.
