BIG BELTS

Ladies, yes, it is that time once again, to accentuate the waist with big bold belts. Although designers did not go up to “boxing championship belt” dimensions this season, they did draw the eye to the midriff to build hourglass shapes, create a colour contrast or just make an outfit look that much more bad ass.

FLARED DRESS

Consider a flared dress for holiday parties. The retro silhouette is both elegant and flattering. And since the voluminous skirt is so eye-catching, there is no need to over accessorize this classic look.

DISCO BALL CLUTCH

By choosing the right accessories, you can easily take an office outfit from day to night. This disco ball-inspired clutch gives basic black staples an instant touch of glamour.

EMBELLISHED PUMPS

Embellished pumps continue to be a holiday staple among luxury designers like Christian Louboutin and affordable brands like ASOS. If you embrace the look, give the shoes the spotlight. You will want to streamline the rest of your look so it does not compete.
