Happy December! Anyone else feel like this one snuck up on us?  I think because Thanksgiving was later in November this year, December feels like it is starting early.  Personally, I love December and the Christmas season! The decorations, the gatherings with friends and family, and all the chances to dress up!  I can not wait to get this holiday season started!

But first, a quick look back at your November favorites including holiday looks and cozy favorites. It looks like we are all getting ready for a festive and cozy holiday season!  After your favorites, I am also sharing a few Cyber Monday sales going on today. Be sure to check it out if you still have some gift or personal shopping left.  I also included the items previously seen here on the blog.

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and a fabulous December holiday season. Now, get scrolling to see if your November favorite made the list.

What I Wore This Month + Black Friday Sales

Daily Outfit Ideas | Fall Outfits | Everyday Fashion Blog Lady in Violet

Happy Black Friday Sales Day!!  A few key items on my shopping list today – a chance to repurchase my faux leather leggings that I accidentally tossed, my exfoliating shampoo that’s great for cleaning out dry shampoo buildup, and some new workout clothes.  Plus, I have plans to cross off some items on my gift shopping list.  What are you shopping for this sale weekend?

With the close of another month, it’s time for my monthly what I wore roundup which features a little more fall and winter looks than October.  I also included a few loungewear looks because ’tis the season for all the cozy things!  As an added bonus, many items are currently on sale.  At the end of today’s post, I’m sharing some Black Friday Sales worth checking out including many brands you’ve seen here on the blog.

Yesterday, we celebrated Thanksgiving with my family and all the food!  Tomorrow, we are off to celebrate with my boyfriend’s family.  I’m kinda glad to have a day between to let all the food digest.  Lots of veggies and a good sweat session on the schedule today.  Hope ya’ll are having a great holiday weekend!

Happy Thanksgiving Week!!  After I get through the short work week, I have 4 days filled with family, friends, and food.  I cannot wait.  Oh and sale shopping! I have my shopping list ready to go for Friday!  I’m planning to share some sales in my post on Friday too.  I’m also going to share my what I wore this month post on Friday, since I’m sure many of the items I wore over the past month will be on sale.  A little something to look forward too!

Can you believe we are just one week away form December?!?! I put up my Christmas decorations yesterday, and the holiday party invites are starting to trickle in.  Many companies throw some sort of holiday party, so I wanted to share a chic office holiday party outfit that isn’t a dress.  This outfit would work for any type of cocktail type party you have, but I really think it would be a great for work party.

The base of the outfit – pencil skirt and satin blouse – would work in an office setting.  To transition this outfit combo to an evening event, I added in fabrics you may shy away from in the office like faux leather and lace.  A leather pencil skirt is a must have for fall and winter happy hours and events.  It’s instantly can make any outfit look chic and sophisticated.  I mean you can toss a slightly oversized sweater over this skirt and still look polished.  It’s a great staple to have on hand for any last minute party invites.

I’ve eyed this top at the store a few times, and I finally decided to try it on.  I have a few other tops in this style without lace that are great for the office.  The addition of lace on this one gives it a special detail to stand out from the others.  You can also pair this top with jeans for a casual date night or girls’ night out. I would recommend wearing a black bra underneath it.  It’s just slightly low cut and your bra may show with movement.  Oh, and I forgot to mention that both my top and skirt are on sale right now!

Alright ya’ll, I have another gift guide for you on Wednesday, and my monthly outfit roundup on Friday along with sales mixed into each post.  So be sure to stop by this week and check those out!  I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving week and safe travels if you will be heading out of town.

It’s that time of year, bring out all the metallic details and sequins!  If ever there was a time for getting away with wearing sequins and metallics, it’s the holiday season.  You can wear them to Thanksgiving dinner, Christmas parties, holiday happy hours, and New Year’s Eve parties.  Every year, I add something new to the mix.

Since my NYE plans are shaping up to be pretty low key this year, so far I haven’t added a new sequin top.  I’m really considering a cute sequin cami though to pair under a blazer.  It’s the perfect outfit to look super chic with a little sparkle.

What I did opt for this year was a top with a hint of metallic detailing.  This black metallic top will be perfect to carry me through the entire holiday season.  The details are subtle enough for a casual Thanksgiving dinner, chic enough for a holiday happy hour, and pair this top with a black leather skirt for a fabulous office party or NYE event.

This top has a few other details that I love to make it feel a little dressier like sheer sleeves and a cute smocked cuff at the wrist.  I wore a cami underneath it.  If you are wanting to wear this to work or a family event, it may be a little to low cut.  For parties, I think it would be fine.

If you are in the mood to add a little sparkle to your holiday wardrobe, I found more tops below.  I have everything from subtle to statement depending on your sparkle mood.
