Gold Standard :: sequined pencil skirt

Saturday, December 13, 2014

The holidays are the perfect excuse to deck not only your halls, but also your wardrobe with a little (or a lot) of extra sparkle and shine. Your most effective weapon of choice to get into the festive spirit? Gold. 
A mix between preppy and glam, this holiday look is gleaming in gold yet classically grounded. I just adore the Peter Pan collar on this sweater and I love how it looks paired with such a rich fabric. 
Set your standards high this season with a statement piece that's sure to land you on the best dressed list. This sequined skirt has "gold standard" written all over it and is the perfect companion for any holiday party. Pair with a structured neutral to ensure this number shines. 
Red nails with a splash of gold is THE holiday combo. 
My skirt matches the lights on the wreath behind me! I feel like a life-sized Christmas ornament :)

Today was a very special day. My family and I celebrated my Grandma's 80th birthday and it was such a blast. I hadn't seen some of my cousins in over a year so gathering together today was a real treat. We had brunch in the city and then hung out at my uncle's. I love how the holidays just instantly bring families together. That's truly my favorite part of the Christmas season. 

Hope everyone is enjoying some quality time with their loved ones!
