The Perfect Holiday Outfit

Lately, I've been starting to panic thinking about what I'm going to wear to my family's annual Christmas Eve party.  I get so excited during the holidays because I have an excuse to dress up, but then I always end up not knowing what to wear!  For the past couple of years, I've thrown together an outfit last minute.  This year, however, I'm planning my outfit way ahead of time.

This holiday season, I've really been loving black, red, polka dots, and sparkles, so I've put together an outfit with all of the things I love.  But how could someone possibly incorporate all of those into one outfit without looking over the top? Here's how.

I absolutely love everything about this outfit.  I've been looking for the perfect red dress to wear this holiday season, and this French Connection Fit & Flare dress is pretty near perfect.  I chose the pieces for this outfit around this pair of polka dot tights.  They are from Swoon, my favorite boutique in North Carolina.  It's a little bit of a drive from my house, but definitely worth it.  Everything there is SO cute and so affordable.  These Target booties are a also a must-have. They go with every outfit and can dress up just about anything.  I've been on the hunt for the perfect sequin clutch lately, and I found this Zara-inspired sequin clutch on Etsy.  It's only 45 dollars and is absolutely perfect for this outfit.  It gives the outfit the playful, exciting touch it needs.  Finally, for the finishing touch, Essie's Toggle to the Top.    Wear all of these with some subtle gold jewelry and you're ready to turn heads at your next holiday party.
