If you've ever dressed up shinier than a Christmas tree or turned down last-minute party invitations because you had nothing to wear, you'll know that the holiday season is loaded with chances for fashion disasters.
With a little help and preparation, you can learn how to avoid common holiday fashion mistakes and look your prettiest this year. Being the Belle of the Holiday Ball maybe even meet a Prince Charming or Two!
Wearing Too Much Glitz
Beading, metallic and shimmer are all fine for the holidays which is very in this Holiday Season. In fact, most women wait until a good party to break out all of the glitzy finery. But too much shine can overwhelm anyone, especially if you wear it in areas that you don't necessarily want to highlight (like a beaded chest sweater for a busty gal). Be aware, dress a glitzy shirt down with a cute skirt, instead of pairing the shirt with also a Glitzy Skirt screaming disco ball instead of disco Queen!
Showing Too Much Skin
Thigh-high miniskirts and cut-to-the-navel dresses may look great on the runway, but in reality they are almost impossible to carry off. Not only is it possible to dress sexy while leaving lots to the imagination, it's also the best way to look your prettiest for the holidays and celebrating those Office Parties. The secret here is to accentuate your best features with a suggestion: a lace trimmed camisole under a blazer hints at great cleavage, a small slit on a skirt gives a glimpse at gorgeous legs, a halter dress shows off toned arms. More is sometimes Less, unfortunately our mothers were right!
Getting Caught With Nothing to Wear
Nothing is worse than being invited to a fabulous party and having nothing to wear. By keeping a few dressy basics in your closet you can always be prepared for last-minute invitations. You can even re-wear the items and make them look totally different just with accessories. Its been done don't feel ashamed to re-wear something chances are people will only remember how amazing you look not exactly what you were wearing!
Being Under or Over Dressed
You show up in jeans, everyone else wears velvet ( one of my nightmares!); you wear a long dress and others wear business clothes. You're not alone if you have trouble deciphering dress codes on a party invitation: most people get confused by designations as ambiguous as "Dressy Casual" or "Cocktail Attire." A few dressy items span several categories -- such as the little black dress for her or dark suit for him -- both of which can attend everything from semi-formal to cocktail parties ( Nightmare Averted!! Sweet dreams ahead!).
