The holiday season is starting to wind down. Christmas is this coming weekend and New Years is the weekend after. I love this time of year too much and don't want to see it go.
For this weeks post, I decided to put together a look for a last minute holiday party, Christmas Eve, or a New Years party.
I love lace and wanted to incorporate it into this look. I chose a dress from Forever 21 (similar, similar, similar). I loved the color and style as it was a bit of a fit and flare dress. To add a little bit of contrast and structure to the dress, I added an H&M belt (similar).
Since this is in the winter and a bit chilly out, I decided to go with a nice blazer/suit jacket on top from H&M (similar). I thought it would go nicely for any occasion that you might be dressing for. Also since this outfit is for a night out, I decided to go with some fleece lined tights. Now if you live in a warmer climate, by all means go without tights or have some sheer ones.
To tie the outfit together I decided to put on some ankle boots (similar, similar). This is because it is winter and it will most likely be cold when you are wearing this outfit. I think it i would even look good with some closed toed black or burgundy heels. I never show bags in my outfit posts, but since this is a going out outfit, you will need something to carry all your things. I threw in this wristlet/clutch (similar, similar). This bag is just a classic shape and structure and doesn't take to much attention away from the rest of the look.
I wanted to play up the eyes with this look and tie in some of the burgundy. I went with face primer (smoothing and glowing mixed together) and eye primer, concealers (blemish and under eye), powder foundation, brow gel (shade: blonde), eyeshadow palette (unconditional in the crease, unattainable on the lid, unbridled in the outer v and lower lash line, and undercover under the brow and in the tear duct), eyeliner on the upper lash line, mascara (top and bottom), blush (similar in baby doll), bronzer. Since I went a bit heavier on the eye, I went for a more natural pink lip with this lipliner in eastend snob and this lipstick in matte darling.
For my hair, I decided to bring the burgundy up and use a bow to tie back a half braid. Honestly this look would also look great with curled hair.
I think this outfit is a great blend of holiday colors without going overboard on red, green, and silver. I have gone with a red Christmas dress for the last couple of years and have decided to go with a different color this time.
