The holidays always evoke a sense of magic, because everything just seems extra special during this festive time of the year. We show our good cheer by decorating our homes, stringing up bright lights and by showing loved ones how much they mean to us. The holidays are also a great time for fashion, and a time when typically daring style choices are more easily meshed into an everyday look!
Since most of us are spending money on others instead of ourselves during the holidays, there isn’t always a big budget to buy a new wardrobe for holiday parties and events. But never fear! You can look fabulous and festive by adding a few simple touches to everyday outfits. Here’s how you can add a little cheer to your wardrobe using simple things that you probably already have.
1) Swipe on some red lipstick. Nothing says classic holiday glamour like a bright red pout. Make sure to use lipliner so that the finished result looks pretty and polished. Try an orange-red hue for warmer complexions, or a blue-based red for cooler skin tones.
2) Accessorize with ribbon. Bows are classic, feminine and timeless – and not just for wrapping your gifts. Use some ribbon that you have left over from wrapping and add pretty bows to your hair, handbag, or wrist. Try a pretty top knot bun tied with a bow in the back for a classy and festive look.
3) Add some sparkle and shine. The holidays are a time when glitter is totally appropriate for everyday. Try adding a touch of glitter to your usual day makeup with a light hand to add a little extra something to your look.
