Christmas Fashion Countdown Day 1
Usually at the holiday's people think they can break out their brightest and glitziest outfits. Considering most of us are not able to drop a million dollars on a glamorous outfit, anything too extreme will probably be a little gaudy. Now, that's not to say you can't wear a little glitz. But the key is to not wear it from head to toe.
About.com gives some good tips on wearing glitz the right way:
Here's How:
Start by incorporating small embellished items into your wardrobe, such as a handbag.
Make sure the embellishment is scaled to your figure -- palettes or huge sequins may overwhelm petite figures.
Large, intricate jewelry looks best with streamlined, simple clothing.
In general, embellishment such as sequins, embroidery, trims and studs look classier on basic colors like black or white.
Make sure embellishment is used on or near a body part you want to call attention to -- it draws the eye to it.
For maximum impact, wear just one embellished item at a time.
If you do mix embellishments, make sure they are different types, such as a fringed shawl with an embroidered skirt.
Tips:
Like most things in fashion, this is a fad. If you hate it, skip it.
Embellished items look dressier than plain ones, so save them for special occasions.
Embellishment makes items more difficult to care for -- beaded fringe fall off, embroidery gets pulls, etc. -- so account for high maintenance.
