Merry & BRIGHT

I love the holidays because I feel like its the only time of the year where everyone is on my level clothing wise: a bold lip counts as “natural” make up, red becomes a new neutral and sequins are basically mandatory. These are the rules I live by all year long, so its always hard for me to find new ways to dress outside the lines when everyone else has upped their game. The answer? WEAR MORE COLOR.

Here are 3 looks & 3 tips to stand out this season from Christmas through New Years, plus they’re not so seasonal styles so you can wear them year around.

GO BRIGHTER – Opt for brighter colors instead of the typical holiday favorites. I suggest playing with neons or warmer tones. I paired green with pink and orange for something bold and fun.

SHOP THE LOOK:

EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED – Hunt for unexpected pieces like a blue sequin dress instead of the classic red one, then pair it with even more unexpected pieces: a striped belt or color blocked earrings should do the trick.

SHOP THE LOOK:

MAKE IT MONOCHROME – One sure fire way to stand out is dipping yourself in one color form head to toe. I chose a golden yellow for something totally different but still picked a piece with a little bit of sparkle to keep things festive and fun.
