My goal was to illustrate how things that you already own can be styled together to create a fun new look. I hope to encourage and inspire you to discover new ways to repurpose items in your own wardrobe for their sparkling debut- technically encore but whatever- at your next holiday get together.
In this week's look, I repurposed a hot pink mini-skirt by Necessary Objects as a top in my holiday look. I paired it with a purple taffeta party skirt; with just a quick hemming this skirt was repurposed from its former life as a 1996 designer floor length ball skirt. The best time to add a little glitter is during the holidays, so I decided to bring in a little sparkle to my outfit. I paired a red-soled silver sequins stiletto with a striking rhinestone bauble bracelet/necklace set. As a final touch I added a funky animal print belt with a contrasting ornate gold buckle to give the outfit a little flair. My festive look is something I would wear to a fun cocktail party or maybe as my New Year's Eve ensemble.
This outfit illustrates how a few minors changes to pieces you might already own, paired with timely trends-pop of color, a statement necklace, animal print- and a little bit of sparkle can create a festive look without any of the guilt ridden purchases.
