Merry Christmas Y'all

   Christmastime. You think of eggnog, decorating the tree, and gifts. But you also have to dress for the occasion. And no, I do NOT mean those bulky Christmas sweaters with little doggies on them, sorry. There is a classy way to dress up for the holidays.
   Going to a party? Sparkles are the key to standig out. Just don't over do it. A sparkly tank underneath a tailored blazer. A chunky pearl necklace and a glittery charm bracelet make a good statement. Pair with a ruffled skirt and tuck the tank in-so cute! If it's a little chilly for short skirts, colored or patterened tights are the key. To polish off a great dressy look wear chunky heels (jazz 'em up buy buying pairs with a bow on the heel, decorative zippers, peep toe, etc.) or knee-high boots (booties work too).
   In winter months to keep warm people buy sweaters. But the problem is finding one that looks flattering and stylish. The thinner the sweater the more form fitting it will be. When sweaters are thicker they tend to get bulkier and less flattrering. Another form of sweater is like a longer, looser cardigan. You can put them on top of a tank, tunic, dress, etc., and put a thick belt around the smallest part of your waist.
   Also, the holiodays call for different make-up. It's more festive, sparkly, and colorful. Try this fun holiday look: Start off by lining your eyes with purple eyeliner (the kind I had in mind was from the brand Tarte) and create the cat-eye look. Next use a shimmery, metallicy silver eye shadow all over the eye lid. The shadow should be sparkly. After that, use a shimmery navy shadow for the contour shade. Smudge the navy in the outer corner of your eye and blend into the crease. You can line your bottom lashline with the silver shadow and top with mul;tiple coats of black mascara. You don't have to use those same colors though. Dark shimmery greens work too fro eyeshadow and navy or black liner works too. Have fun with the colors!
Hope everyone has a merry, fashionable Christmas!
