Making Spirits Bright: Holiday Fashion Ideas

Confession: I am one of those people who perpetually live in her grey, black, and dark hued sweaters, dresses, shirts, and jeans. It’s not that I don’t like colorful or bright clothes; it’s just that I happen to like dark colors in addition to my feeling that, during a hectic week, it is easier to turn to my go-to staples. However, I am most definitely feeling inspired by all the fabulous jewel tones and sparkle I have been seeing in stores, not to mention all the glitter and glam from the Glitter Glam Swap & Shop!

Chalk this up to a reaction to a reaction against the drear of the cold weather or a sudden shock of holiday spirit, but the next time I go shopping I resolve to add some color and life to my wardrobe. Here are some examples of fabulous pieces that are perfect for adding some life to a winter/holiday wardrobe:

I love J Crew’s styling of this sequin skirt, the beauty of a such a piece is that it can be dressed up or dressed down with a casual sweater! Check out this pick from the Limited.
