Somehow it's December and there's no denying the list of holiday events on the calendar + impending last-minute Christmas shopping stress (don't forget to check out my cyber Monday must-haves), so over the next few weeks I'm here to (hopefully) give you some holiday outfit ideas and inspo so that you look perfectly festive at "whats-her-names" annual party!

This season you can't go wrong with black lace ( as noted here) but what I'm loving is out of the box accessories and outwear, aka not your typical sparkle, red, or fur pieces. We're talking a "I didn't try too hard and still look amazing" holiday ensemble: 

{ nbd dress // azaleasf jacket // aquazzura heels // clare vivier clutch -30% off today!}

The best part about this dress is the built in bra top - no need to worry about pasties or strapless bra situations - #thankgoodness. Leopard + nude + olive + black lace = classic combo. No jokes, I rotate these colors into my closet on the reg because they just work so well together! Like I noted above, throw 'em off with a not-so-holiday ensemble that still looks ultra chic and can be worn again in the New Year!
