Look Hot for the Holidays

No matter what your plans are for the holidays, there is bound to be an opportunity to throw on a holiday dress- hey, every girl loves an excuse to dress up every now and then, even if the attire doesn’t require anything too fancy!

The best go-to colors are red, dark green and gold. Velvet dresses looks great in red and green, and will keep you warm as the temperature continues to drop. A sequined gold dress helps you to stand out, and can come in handy for not only the holidays but New Years as well. That way, you don’t have to feel as guilty breaking the bank (ok- don’t over do it though!).

Add excitement to your dress by sporting heels with an embellishment. When it comes to the holidays, it’s time to go all out! If the occasion isn’t formal, pair your dress with minimal jewelry and neutral heels to tone it down.

Essie has recently introduced a line of holiday nail polish in golds and dark reds that sparkle- certainly fitting for all of the festivity that is quickly approaching.

So, no matter what the holiday event is, throw on a festive dress and utilize your accessories to you advantage to dress it up or down.
