It's
November, so I'm excited about the holiday pieces that come out during this
time. Torrid also has some great gifts listed in their holiday catalog including a new fragrance coming out on 11/17. It smells lovely, like a light powdery/floral scent. I am also super excited to shop for holiday clothes, I tend to gravitate towards colors: red, cream, and gold. Anything
sparkly or with sequins are a must as well. Torrid just released pieces from
their holiday look-book. I actually got my mailer (with coupons) on
Saturday and partnered with Torrid to style a few looks from
the look-book. This isn't my usual one piece three ways, but I
did use the cropped convertible jacket in two looks. It's my favorite
piece from the collection. The jacket can be worn as a blazer, then you
can zip off the bottom and wear it as a cropped jacket. Genius!! I
love that I'm starting to see convertible pieces in plus. It allows you
to get more bang for your buck. Now, let's get into these
looks.
Before
5pm office party: I
really loved this look. My thought was that this would be a great look
for those holiday parties in the office that begin before 5pm. So you
still have to work (and I use that term loosely, lol) for the first half of the
day, then the rest of the day you are partying. This is a way for you to
look festive and office appropriate, and to be comfortable. I know I blog
full time, but I do remember what it was like to work a 9-5. Style
Notes: I love love love these pants. They are high-waisted and give your body
nice lines. They have stretch and I got them in a Torrid size 4.
The shell I'm wearing is tucked in, but is long and flowy and can be
worn untucked. I got the shell in a 3 to cover the hips. I got the
cropped jacket in a 3. This is pretty true to size, so I should have
gotten a 2. The jacket is made from a ponte knit material and does
contain stretch.
After
5pm office party: I put together this look for those of
you that have the after 5pm holiday parties. I love fall because I
wear tights, and wear dresses that are a little shorter, but still have that
coverage on my legs. I love wearing red and this color is often hard to find
unless it's around the holidays, so I'm always sure to grab some sort of red
dress during this time. I paired with the cream convertible jacket for the
arm coverage you may want, especially when you are with the office folk. Style
Notes: I got this dress in a 22 and it fits like a cover. It does
have stretch.
Holiday Weekend Break: You've been fancy this week and will definitely want to slip into something comfortable. I chose these leopard pants with the relaxed fit and paired with the "lips" sweater. Style Notes: The lips sweater is a size 3. I sized up for an oversized look. I would normally do a 2. The pants are a size 5. I do have some of these pants in a 4, but there is no stretch and I sized up for extra legroom. There is a drawstring to tighten the waist a little if you need it.
