1 Piece, 3 Ways
December 10th, 2012
With holiday festivities ramping up over the next few weeks, it’s easy to get burnt out or stressed about what to wear. My motto this year: invest in one great piece (think beyond your typical LBD) that you can wear a variety of ways. For my go-to item, I bought this Joie beaded top that can be dressed up or down, which I’ve worn three different ways below.
1. New Year’s Eve: Retro glamour with a full circle skirt and statement accessories.
J.Crew Earrings, Joie Top, Vintage Bracelet, Rachel Zoe Skirt, Tiffany & Co. Clutch, Prada Heels
{Tousled half-pony, winged liner and costume earrings}
{Jeweled clutch + ankle strap heels}
2. Family gathering: Cozy festive with party pieces and pared-down basics.
J.Crew Sweater, Joie Top, Hudson Jeans, Forever 21 + Madewell Necklaces, Vintage Clutch, Coach Boots
{Side braid + layered chunky necklaces + cashmere cardigan}
{Playful manicure + red denim and boots}
3. Office party: Sultry sophistication with simple hair and dramatic make-up.
Vince Jacket, J.Crew Pearls & Hair Elastic, Joie Top, Estée Lauder ‘Black Cassis’ Lipstick, Topshop Cuffs, Phillip Lim Skirt, Hue Tights, Steve Madden Booties, Alexandra DeClaris Clutch
{A dark, vampy lip looks great with a sleek ponytail}
{Balance out a short skirt with a leather jacket, tights and closed-toe booties}
