20 Holiday Fashion Pieces to Update Your Basics

If you’re looking at your upcoming calendar and wondering what the heck you’re going to wear this holiday season, I’ve got you covered. Today’s post is FULL of festive holiday fashion options you can pick up and mix and match with pieces you already have.

To make this easy and comprehensive, I broke these holiday fashion pieces into categories, Sequin, Velvet, Shine and Plaid and found five options for each.

Keep in mind, stores don’t go too deep on inventory for super seasonal merchandise so if you like something don’t wait on it. I started writing this post early last week and some options are starting to sell out.

Let’s go shopping …

This is an excellent post, but my comment is in regards to not being able to read the recent post about Nordstrom without purchasing a subscription to another service. I am very disappointed.

There's a lot to be disappointed about in the world, Alice, but complaining that I created a new branch of my business that you have to pay for when everything on this site is free shouldn't be one of them and is wildly entitled. Imagine being mad at a woman for making a living and supporting her family. A man would NEVER say this to another man.
