So the fashion blogger in me has finally decided to make her debut on the Odyssey. Here are a few fashion statements you can make this holiday season:
Get Funky
So "funky" is the word I use when I feel really cute and outside of the box, and so this season I highly encourage all of you to release your inner funk goddess and try something different. A few ideas:

Plaid, Polkadots, and Gold: This outfit I love for so many reasons (yay different patterns!), but I think adding plaid to any outfit during christmas is adorable.

The Velvet Jumpsuit: Okay, so velvet is the sole greatest trend of this season. It's everywhere: Michael Kors, Steve Madden, H&M, Forever 21, and your Holiday party! Also, the fabric is really, really comfy, so give it a shot and be a 70's velvet goddess at your party.

Velvet and Sparkles: Again, I bring up velvet because it's the best! Okay, so for this outfit specifically, I think that the textile mixing is really cute, and a totally statement. I actually plan on doing it myself this holiday season with a few things I picked up at Windsor fashions.
Be the Kendall Jenner of Your Party
Kendall Jenner is the covergirl for minimalist fashion, and I love her for it. If you aren't into the skirts and the sparkles right now, here are some ideas to try:

Little Black Jumpsuit: Basically upgrade your LBD into a LBP, and take a fashion risk while skill being low-key and chic af. Walk into that party like the Angles on the VS runway.

KISS: Keep It Simple Stupid! Also, keep it cool. Personally, I would add a simple necklace and earring to this look; but if a chill olive button down is your holiday staple, rock it. We all know one girl who shows up in this and kills in it.

Holiday LBD: I don't need to say much about this. Black dress + black heels= classic, simple style.
Elegant and Extravagant
Here are some ideas where you need to be as sparkly and extra as possible *snaps*

Backless and Velvet: See?! Velvet is the beeeeest. And that back cut out? You slay. You slay. All day.

Gold on Gold: I firmly believe that gold is the metal of the season, so I say embrace it! Eat your heart out Christmas tree garland.
(Also this dress is definitely reusable for New Years.)

Emerald Shine: I truly love everything about this outfit. The emerald skirt is so festive and the over all silhouette is classic and timeless elegance. And the gold clutch? I can't. So good.
Cozy Christmas
So every year I spend plenty of time getting ready for Christmas. I spend all this time getting all done up, and I walk out to the family room, and one of my brothers is in jeans and a t-shirt, and then my sister is wearing leggings. So here are some ideas for when I give in and go for a cozy Christmas.

Creme and Coffee: This winter whites outfit is so cute, I may just abandon my plans, and stay home in this.

Statement Coat: Turn your jeans and turtleneck up a notch with a cozy coat. The fluff is just enough to give it a festive feel.

Skip the Party: Fuzzy slippers and Christmas PJ's are two of the greatest resumes in this world and sometimes out just gotta say your busy and cozy up with the fam.
