ITS
SO CLOSE TO CHRISTMAS! I don't know about you but a much as I look forward to
the family parties; the food, the drinks, catching up and seeing who's how
tall!? I want to look good and that can be a little stressful. So here, better
late than ever I'm going to lay out a few easy to put together out fits for
different occasions.
The semi formal Christmas party.
A lot of families are opting for the semi formal Christmas parties recently. It add emphasis to the occasion and who doesn't want picture of people looking their semi best. Using one of Meg's fall/winter pieces I'll show you how can take a dress and using different textures, accessorize it to create a warm elegant but practical outfit .

1. The Satin Dress. Satin is a great fabric, its luxurious, glamorous and shiny! Left on its own its a perfect formal dress but for more practical and less sexy occasions it is the perfect texture to mix with other more common fabrics to bring character and dimension to an outfit. This particular cut has a timeless scoop neck which frames the neck and face while the simple skirt is a perfect back drop for accessories. *keep in mind it doesn't have to be satin! and sheen or delicate texture will do to create great outfit.
2. A cardigan. I'm highly bias here, I'm rarely seen with out a cardigan but let me explain. Using a cardigan to break up the dress completely transform the outfit. Instanly from formal to semi, knit of a wool, cotton, cashmere what ever you have make the satin become an accent point. *Don't be afraid of a pattern if you'd like to but in that case keep the other accessories simple.
3. The belt works in tying together the rest of the accessories as well as adding a focal point on the outfit. If your not a belt person don't worry you'll look great with out, but do try adding a brooch or necklace.
4. and 5. I included the beaded clutch and the bronze scale heal to show how different textures work together to make a diverse and captivating outfit. Try and choose items in the same color family and if they have some nice detail such as the scales or the beads all the better to create a luxurious and esthetically pleasing outfit.
