4 Holiday Party Fashion Mistakes to Avoid
Posted by Sarah on November 12th, 2008 | Leave a Comment
It’s time to celebrate the holiday season and for many people this means a whirlwind of parties and social events. You want to look your best at these affairs which means knowing what to wear. Sometimes wearing the most trendy, eye catching outfit in your closet isn’t the best move. Here are holiday party fashion mistakes many women make:
1. Holiday Party Fashion Mistake: Overdressing
This is a very common fashion faux pas. Instead of being understatedly elegant, some women pull out all the stops for a party by wearing the most flamboyant outfit in their closet. You don’t want to look conspicuous by being the most overdressed person at the party. When in doubt, opt for a stylish black suit or a black or neutral shade of dress and keep some glitzy accessories in your pocketbook you can put on at a moment’s notice. It’s generally more tasteful to be a bit understated.
2. Holiday Party Fashion Mistake: Dressing uncomfortably
Some parties are going to active with lots of lively music and dancing. If you’re wearing six inch stiletto heels with a narrow pointed toe which you can barely walk in, you’re not going to be able to dance or enjoy the party. You may end up spending the evening on the sidelines nursing your aching feet. Of course you want to look stylish but opt for clothes and shoes that at least allow you to participate in the activities.
3. Holiday Party Fashion Mistake: Revealing too much skin
Particularly at an office or work related party, you don’t want to reveal your hidden assets. This is not the time to pull that bustier that’s been gathering dust in the back of your closet out to wear to your company party. Neither is it the time for your micro miniskirt with the fishnet stockings and six inch heels. You’ll attract more positive attention and draw more compliments if you’re tastefully clothed in more elegant party attire.
4. Holiday Party Fashion Mistake: Overplaying the glitz
Some women use a party as an excuse to pull out their sequined dresses and metallic pants. While a bit of glitter and glitz has its place, too much can be overwhelming. When you combine a glitzy outfit with large, shiny accessories and heavy party makeup, you can end up creating an impression you don’t want to make. Try the more tasteful approach of dressing simply and adding glitz with your accessory choices. A dramatic crystal necklace and eye catching earrings can add drama to even the simplest of dresses.
By choosing your holiday fashion attire appropriately, you’ll create a positive impression with your friends and coworkers and can still enjoy all of the fun holiday events.
Zipper In Or Zipper Out?
Posted by Sarah on November 12th, 2008 | Leave a Comment
Just when you thought fashion was getting predictable, along come the zippers to put some ‘teeth’ into it. And while we still love them to get in and out of our jeans and jackets, they may have gone a little too far… shoes? In front and back of dresses and skirts? Gimmicky and cute… yes.
What’s your take?
Casual Holiday Outfit Ideas from Old Navy
Posted by Sarah on November 11th, 2008 | Leave a Comment
Last week we took a look at Old Navy’s brand new plus size collection, which they have just recently introduced in time for the Holiday season. We also had a look at 3 dressy and elegant plus size holiday outfits, all of which can be cooked up from top to bottom at Old Navy.
Since the festive season is not all just about parties and holiday do’s, today we thought of looking at 3 casual outfit ideas instead. These outfit works perfectly for work, to a coffee out with friends, or shopping around with mom.
Casual Look 1
- Rosette cardigan at $39.50
- Pleated satin top at $29.50
- Tummy-trimmer jeans at $25.00
- Chain-link leather hobo at $59.50
- Ankle-strap boots at $39.50
Grand total of: $193.00
Casual Look 2
- Cable-knit sweater at $34.50
- Denim pencil skirt at $32.50
- Color-block satin clutch at $16.50
Grand total of: $83.50
Casual Look 3:
- Belted wool-blend coat at $82.00
- Lattice charmeuse top at $34.50
- Flirt boot-cut jeans at $25.00

Again, I want to stress that the accessories and shoes are just ideas. Be creative and incorporate the items you already have at home into your holiday plus size outfits. So just grab yourself a new top, coupled with a new pair of jeans perhaps, and then work with these new items the shoes and accessories you already have.
Keep in mind the colors of the items you already have to make sure that the new pieces you buy match and work together, to create a brand new and stylish figure flattering casual outfit.
