So, last night I had my first holiday party of the year. And as I was dressing BB in the SWEETEST velvet dress with a fur collar, I realized I had nothing to wear. Somehow, in the madness of holiday shopping, I forgot to buy myself any new holiday attire. So, I pulled out an all black outfit, slapped on some red lips and voila, holiday attire. In that spirit, here are 5 things you probably already have in your closet that you can use to create a holiday outfit!

1 – FUR

Obviously, anything furry screams holiday and festivities.

2 – VELVET

Velvet is not only on trend, but also festive and chic.

3 – ANYTHING SPARKLY

While you may think you should wait to pull out the sequins until new years, holiday parties are another occasion when you can get some use out of the sparkly items in your closet! And, if you are like me, the new year will be rang in on my couch, in sweats.

4 – RED ACCESSORIES

While I am not one to bust out much color, a fun red statement accessory is the perfect addition to an all black outfit to make it into a fun holiday getup!

5 – YOUR FANCIEST SHOES

Those shoes that you LOVE but sit in your closet and don’t get much wear throughout the year, now is the time! Throw on your fanciest pair and you’ll find yourself holiday ready!
