Velvet is a holiday favorite. Last year I found this top from Vince Camuto and looks like it is back or at least it’s very similar. I wish it was in another color but pairing it with a burgundy shoe and some different colors in the earrings breaks up the black. I always like a lighter wash denim with black, but noticed these Wit & Wisdom were fully stocked and thought they looked like a good option. Wit & Wisdom has been selling out so quickly lately. Top it with a fur jacket and you are all set for for a holiday party at home or out, or dinner at a restaurant. I think we all tend to go out to eat more at the holidays so this would be perfect. I hope you enjoy putting in a little extra effort this season and changing up your look.

Using the same formula you can vary it by adding a different velvet component–in this case a hoodie! This is a perfect casual option. In my opinion, you just can’t go wrong with a velvet hoodie! This one is a winner. It’s just a touch oversized. I have on the medium. It is super comfortable and I think you’ll love it!

Here is the outfit in real life photos. I switched up the earrings for something smaller in the layout.

Don’t delay if you love any of the velvet pieces. They sell quickly. And if you don’t see anything in the velvet category, here are a couple of ideas wearing typical work pieces. They look ready for the holidays with just a few changes–jewelry, satin camisole, belt and boots.

Leather always elevates your look. You can even get leather joggers if you don’t love the idea of a leather jacket. Speaking of joggers. Can you believe these are joggers? They are the Everywhere Pant by Zyia. I like them because they have a straight leg opening yet the same comfy fabric and elastic waist!
This will be my last post of 2021. I hope you’ve enjoyed the holiday ideas. As always, I appreciate you reading and shopping my links. Thank you so very much! Best wishes for a Wonderful Holiday Season!
