FESTIVE HOLIDAY LOOKS AND GIFT GUIDE FOR THE LADIES

FESTIVE HOLIDAY LOOKS AND GIFT GUIDE FOR THE LADIES

Happy Friday, everyone! I can’t believe this week is over! It seems like a blur, but I do feel like I’m starting to catch up a teeny bit from last week. First things first, I went to my ultrasound appointment on Wednesday. I had the ultrasound and a mammogram (a different version of one because I don’t have tissue), and I am so relieved that what we all were feeling was a calcification that has adhered to a suture. Thank God, and what a relief! My poor daughter and grandbaby finally arrived in Italy after missing her connecting flight in Frankfurt, which ended with an eleven-hour layover! I had so much anxiety waiting for those text messages, but all was good, and another Thank God!

Let’s get down to business since the holidays, parties, and events are starting. Heather, of So Heather and I wanted to show festive holiday looks, so we decided to find different pieces that happened to coordinate really well. I chose a gorgeous sequin skirt from Smythe. I love this shimmering statement piece! This skirt has all-over black, gold, and silver sequins, making it easy to wear with many different options. I am wearing it with a turtleneck-style bodysuit, but I tried it with a cozy black sweater, which looks just as chic. I wanted to wear my leather moto jacket to give the outfit an edge, but a fur topper would be smashing, too! I kept the jewelry simple and am wearing a tennis necklace from my husband (my 10th Cancerversary gift). I wanted to point this out because I recently got a few “diamond” pieces from a brand called Dorsey that honestly look like the real deal! If you want to shine in gorgeous jewelry, check them out! Oh, my bag is a look-a-like that genuinely looks like I bought it at Neiman Marcus!

Heather is wearing a statement gold blazer and pants from Veronica Beard, which is stunning! I love a good pantsuit that can be worn together or separately. Under the jacket, Heather wore a strapless tube top and all-black accessories. Think of all the ways you could wear this gorgeous suit!

Heading to an event or dinner at someone’s home that you don’t want to be too festive, I wanted to show you a simple and slightly elevated look. I found this fantastic velvet skirt (elastic waist) and sequin embellished button-up shirt in a honey brown color. The shirt reminded me of another brand that uses sequins in interesting ways (but more expensive). If you love this shirt, grab it now because it is on sale! I wanted to wear a pointy-toe ballerina flat and these adorable sunglasses.

I know there is a lot going on in this post, but I want to share my gift guides with you. Today, the gifts are for the ladies. I have rounded up my favorite gifts to give any female in your life. I hope these ideas help you! We are taking our grandson out to lunch today. It’s Grandparent’s Day at school and a special time with him.
