How To: Wear Sequins This Holiday Season Without Looking Like A Christmas Tree Decoration

Over the holiday season, we’re all attracted to a bit of sparkle; glitter ornaments, rhinestone accessories and of course sequins. But it’s often tricky to don an adorned dress without looking like something that hangs off your mantelpiece. This time of year truly tests your sartorial versatility and although wearing an all in one sequined maxi dress might be for some, we believe it’s the subtle addition to a look that really shows off your holiday style. So worry no more, were here to help you master suburb holiday style and will walk you through how to avoid looking like a tree ornament this season.

1. Sequin Midi Skirt

Wearing a midi skirt can be a bit of a challenge from time to time. Am I too short, and I the wrong shape, what shoes do I wear with it? This little festive look is the perfect answer. Rather than wearing boots choose a pair which reach the ankle or a pair of cute pumps, either way the small bit of your pins on show will seem elongated and elegant. This sequin midi also has patterned effect which smooths out any lumps and bumps giving you the perfectly chic holiday look that Mrs Claus would be proud of.

2. Bauble sweater

You ask, how on earth can I wear an all over sequined sweater without looking like a tree bauble? Well team it with some super chic accessories - that's how, and you're bound to be the envy of all fashionista's this holiday season. Markus Lupfer always gets it so right, and this season he has not failed to disappoint. This cashmere navy number with large mirror disk sequins is the perfect addition to your holiday wardrobe and will carry you all the way through to Spring.

3. Sparkly skater dress

When wearing an all over sequined dress its better to keep it in a more neutral colour. This forest green skater dress from French Connection is just what were talking about, and in such a flattering fit and flare designer to suit all body shapes. Team it with some edgy accessories and you're bound to the the prettiest Elf at the party.

4. Sequin colour block blazer

So a fully sequined blazer  might be a tad too much, buts that's why we adore this black and silver number from Topshop. Oversized boyfriend bit with a touch of added glam. Keeping the colour palette neutral is the safest way to go, but whilst keeping the textures super interesting. Sequins silk, jacquard and leather - yummy!

5. Gold Mini Skirt

With the temperatures plummeting well bellow freezing around this time of year mini skirts can be some what of a no go area. But not to worry. Sass & Bide have got you covered with their sheer split maxi which is sexy and practical well sort of at the same time. Teamed with more black chiffon and bold accessories to complement the pops of colour on the skirt this is one sure way to look super chic over the holiday season.

Sundays are the perfect occasion to do absolutely nothing, which is exactly what I've done a whole lot of today. Catching up on some of my favourite blogs, showing off my new designs on social media platforms and coming up with some styling ideas for my new range of limited editions t-shirts whilst having a massive movie day snuggled under a duvet on the sofa. A pretty perfect Sunday if you ask me. After my first load of tee's (click here) proved to be pretty damn popular all over the world, sending off packages left right and centre, I decided to come up with a new collection of limited edition pieces, which have just hit my online store today (click here). Polyvore is my favourite site for outfit building and styling inspiration, so where better to show off my new pieces? Check out the rest of my sets on Polyvore (click here).

I do apologise for the lack of outfit posts recently, apart from being glued to my sketchbook and popping out for the occasional bite to eat at my favourite Italian, Carluccio, I have been absolutely inundated with uni work. 5 collections to design and a whole photography project to complete, not particularly fun to say the least. I've recently rediscovered Polyvore and have found it to be a rather enjoyable form of procrastination, so I thought I would show you a few sets I designed styling the Chanel Drip Tee, Homies London Sweater & Celine Me Alone Tee - all from my online store (click here). The tee's are so perfect to dress up and down and the super soft fabric makes you want to just live in them all the time.
