Holiday parties are quickly approaching and if you are anything like me, you will wait til the very last minute to begin looking for that perfect holiday look. Well time is winding down so I created a few looks for inspiration.

The first look is a classic holiday look. It is very sophisticated and elegant. The bold color and intricate oragami style detailing makes this dress  a definite show stopper. Pink with teal is the perfect way to mix and match color with looking like something out of the 80s. Natural make up and turquoise jewelry completes the look

The next look is very rocker chic. This little black dress is sophisticated yet sexy. You will feel glamorous, sexy, and edgy with the studded shoulder detailing and the gathered v-style split. I can definitely see Ciara in a similar dress. Pair with either gravity-defying pumps or over-the-knee boots and a bold red lip to complete the look.

This last look is menswear inspired with a touch of glam. If the temperature is frigid and you do not want to face the blistering cold, go with a pair of black skinny pants, a sequins tank top, and tuxedo jacket. You will definitely turn heads because you are going against “holiday tradition” from wearing a cocktail dress to a sexy tuxedo. A smokey eye and nude lip completes the look.
