Wondering what to wear to your holiday party? Look no further than your own closet. If you’re reading this, chances are you have an LBD. If you don’t, that’s an entirely different problem (and blog post). An LBD is a wardrobe staple, and you can find one almost anywhere. There’s no magic trick to selecting the right one – it only needs to make you feel great.
Assuming you have a dress, now what? The next step is not falling into a black hole of basic-ness. An LBD is classic, but can also be boring. Over the next week, we’re sharing our favorite ways to style an LBD. First up? VINTAGE GLAM.
FUR is the star of this look. If you’ve been waiting for the perfect time to rock it, it’s now. We would never advocate to purchase new fur, but we have been known to rock a hand me down or thrifted fur. If any kind of fur make you cringe, then go faux. Any fur element works here – a coat, jacket, shawl, poncho, cape, stole, you name it. If your Aunt Beatrice didn’t leave you a fur, check out your local thrift store, or snag one of ours here, here, or here.
MODERN JEWELS are necessary to avoid looking like you’ve been playing dress up in grandma’s closet. Keep them simple and modern. Pick up the eco-friendly set from Wild Fawn Jewelry pictured above here.
A STATEMENT CLUTCH will be the perfect friend to your fur. Yes, it’s ok to double down on the vintage here. It can be a hard case, metallic, beaded, or lace just as long as it’s interesting. Check out some of our THS vintage clutch options here, here, and here.
ELEGANT SHOES are recommended. The parameters are pretty loose as long as they don’t compete with anything else. These bad boys are a serious splurge even on sale, but oh so gorgeous. Sometimes you have to treat yo self! If you’re size 7.5 check out these pretty French Connection heels in our THS inventory.
SOFT HAIR and CLASSIC GLAM MAKE UP….think Marilyn not Cruella. Try a loose bun, high or low, or if an updo isn’t your thing, try loose waves. We like this step by step tutorial. Classic glam make up to us is a liquid liner cat eye and a rosy pout.
Bring on the champagne.
