Holiday Party Wear

Monday, November 25, 2013

It is GO time! Thanksgiving week is here and that usually also means the kick off for holiday parties. This can bring great stress to many people. I find that my clients stress over what they are going to wear because they want to look festive but also not over do it. This is wear I suggest SEQUINS! A little bit of sparkle can go a long way and I tend to run it from Thanksgiving thru New Years pretty heavily. And why not?! Sequin adds a little special extra to head to toe black. it can also distract from any problem areas you may have. Are you bottom heavy but have toned arms? Wear black skinny jeans and the striped black and white top to steer everyones eyes to your Madonna arms! Do you have a great waistline?? Wrap a sparkly skinny belt around a fitted dress to show it off. Regardless of what you look like, adding some sparkle will put you in the holiday mood and can transform you from BLAH to WOW.
WARNING: Wear only one article of clothing or accessory with sequins or sparkle on it at a time so that people don't confuse you on the dance floor for the disco ball!


My version of sparkly :)
Cheers & Happy Thanksgiving Friends!

This year is the first year in a few that we will not be going back to California this winter. We never go back fro Thanksgiving because it is too far to travel for such a short trip. We really try to not go more than 6-8 months without seeing my family and we have been fortunate enough to be able to go back often. 

I've tried not to think about the fact we won't be there because i get very emotional! LOL. Last week i texted my mom that it was really hitting me that we weren't coming out and she (being the amazing mom that she is) said "I know, this Christmas will be different BUT we are healthy and you have each other. God will provide. I love you guys with all my heart." 

After reading that I remembered how blessed I am to have such amazing parents. My mom was right, I have 3 healthy kids, a wonderful husband and a great group of friends that have become our East Coast family.

So, thank you Mom and Dad. I am beyond thankful to have you as parents and for reminding me how blessed we truly are. 
Last Christmas :)
