Weekly Wardrobe Wisdom December 16th

Exciting News: My Appearance on Out N About Columbus!

Wow! I was thrilled when Madi from Out N About Columbus reached out to me about appearing on their January 11th episode. I eagerly agreed and started preparing for the scheduled taping in early January.

But plans took an exciting turn when Madi called on December 8th with an unexpected opportunity—there was a spot open for their Last Minute Christmas Ideas episode airing December 14th and 15th. She asked if I could step in, and of course, I said yes!

In just a few days, I was in the studio on December 10th for production. It was an incredible experience, and I can’t wait to share the segment with you!

The link to the full episode will be available later today or tomorrow, so stay tuned to check it out and see my holiday style tips on screen! 🎄✨

Color Theory for the Holidays: Week 5 - Rich Burgundy & Deep Plum 🍷💜

Welcome to Week 5 of our holiday color series! This week, we’re diving into two rich, luxurious shades—burgundy and plum. These deep, warm colors are perfect for the cooler months and are ideal for adding depth and sophistication to your holiday wardrobe. Whether you’re attending a festive dinner or holiday party, these hues will make a stylish, festive statement. Let’s explore how to incorporate these stunning colors into your looks this season!

Burgundy:

Burgundy is a rich, wine-inspired color that embodies the essence of the holiday season. It’s warm, elegant, and perfect for creating a cozy yet chic holiday look. Whether you choose a burgundy sweater, a tailored burgundy blazer, or a flowing burgundy dress, this color adds depth and sophistication to your wardrobe.

Pair burgundy with neutral tones like black, ivory, or gray for an elegant contrast, or mix it with metallics like gold and bronze to create a festive glow. Burgundy also complements other jewel tones like deep green and navy, offering a rich, luxurious color palette. This color is perfect for both casual and formal occasions, whether you’re having a holiday dinner with family or attending an evening party. Burgundy accessories, like scarves or handbags, are a great way to add a pop of this festive color to any outfit.

Plum:

Plum is another beautiful, deep color that brings elegance and richness to your wardrobe. With its purplish-red hue, plum is perfect for the holidays and makes a bold statement without feeling too overpowering. Whether it's a plum velvet dress, a plum blouse, or a cozy plum cardigan, this color exudes warmth and sophistication.

Plum pairs wonderfully with gold and silver accents, adding an extra layer of luxury to your outfit. It also works well with other deep tones, like navy or charcoal, and can be beautifully paired with soft neutrals like beige and cream for a balanced, elegant look. Whether you're dressing for a holiday party or a cozy winter gathering, plum is the perfect choice to create a rich, festive atmosphere. Add plum-colored accessories or outerwear to your outfit for a stylish and timeless look.

That wraps up this week’s color inspiration! 🍷💜 From the elegance of burgundy to the sophistication of plum, these shades are perfect for adding depth and richness to your holiday style. Next week, we’ll wrap up the series with a look at two festive, fun colors—bright red and forest green—to complete your holiday wardrobe. Stay tuned for more color inspiration, and until then, enjoy experimenting with these rich tones!

How to Build a Statement Holiday Look

This holiday season, create unforgettable outfits with bold statement pieces that turn heads. Here’s how to craft the perfect statement holiday look:

🎄 Start with a Base: Choose a neutral foundation like a black dress, tailored trousers, or a sleek jumpsuit. This sets the stage for your statement pieces.

🎄 Add One Show-Stopping Piece: Make your outfit shine with a standout item like a sequined blazer, velvet top, or a metallic skirt. Let this piece take center stage.

🎄 Layer Thoughtfully: A chic faux fur wrap, a festive blazer, or a structured coat can add depth and drama to your look while keeping you warm.

🎄 Accessorize Boldly: Think oversized earrings, a dazzling necklace, or a sparkly clutch to enhance your outfit without overpowering it.

🎄 Finish with Fabulous Shoes: Glitter heels, metallic flats, or velvet boots will tie everything together and keep your look festive from head to toe.

Pro Tip: Stick to one or two bold elements and keep the rest of your outfit simple for a balanced yet impactful look.

What’s your go-to statement piece for the holidays? I’d love to hear your ideas! ✨🎁

Outfit 1

Starting with a classic black sleeveless dress, I styled it with a chain-woven leather belt and a gold necklace as the foundation. To elevate the look, I added a moto jacket and chic booties, creating a versatile outfit that works perfectly beyond the holiday season.

Outfit 2

I kept the chain-woven leather belt and gold necklace, then swapped in a black coated denim jacket for a look with a little extra edge and modern flair.

Outfit 3

I kept the chain-woven leather belt and booties, then layered on the sweater coat, tying it back slightly to keep it open. The subtle embellishments on the coat add the perfect touch of detail to complete the look.

Another Option

Add a beautiful brooch and a wrap to the dress. Opt for a silver or gold heel for an elegant look.

Loft Sparkle Sweater Try-On Session

I ordered the Loft Sparkle Sweater in Elegant Teal and it is a keeper. Watch my Quick Try-On Session video.

I love the teal color. Some sparkle tops are meant for the holiday season or New Years Eve only. This detail is minor enough, that I would start wearing it in mid-November and wear into early January.
