Happy Friday!!  I’ve been enjoying a nice long weekend since yesterday.  I like taking a few days off in early December to knock out some holiday shopping before the crowds start.  It was already starting to get crowded, so I’m happy to have tackled most of my gift list.  With that and my sale shopping, I’m almost done!

When I saw this top, I was immediately drawn to the jewel tone dark pink color.  It’s such a luxe looking color, and I knew it would be perfect for the holiday season.  Sometimes you just want something other than the normal reds, greens, and sequins. The material has this rumpled satiny look that also adds a little fancy to it.  For a dressy casual holiday look, I paired it with my black jeans and suede boots.

You can easily make this top work with a pencil skirt, heels, or leather leggings to change up the look to match your holiday party.  You could also pair with a gold sequin skirt for a super festive look.  I love the way jewel tones look with gold sequins!  This top comes in a few other colors too.

The boyfriend and I have fun little date night planned downtown this weekend.  We figured we would get a fancy night in for just the two of us before the holiday parties start to kick in to full gear.  I’m following that up with a super relaxing Sunday to finish off my long 4day weekend!  I hope you all have a fabulous weekend too!

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.
