Dressing for the holidays can be challenging—you have to be comfortable enough for running from a cocktail party to a dinner party, cozy enough to brave the cold weather and dressy enough for the festive occasions. I find pairing a feminine peplum blouse with cropped dress trousers and an embellished sweater is the perfect balance. A minimal pearl and diamond earring, a subtle sparkly shoe, unique clutch and a red lip are great accents and can make all the difference.

You can never go wrong with neutral holiday hues, like black, midnight navy, deep burgundy or forest green. We've been offering full skirts in different textures, which I like to pair with a matching top.

Invest in a great fitting black or white blazer. You can wear it to the office and keep it on for a holiday party afterwards.

A good rule of thumb is to never wear more than two prints at once and keep both pieces in the same color family. A neutral background stabilizes multiple prints and gives them cohesiveness. Two of my favorite prints to mix for the holidays are stripes and plaid.

Off the shoulder tops are a sophisticated way to bare your shoulders without exposing too much.

Outfits that are appropriate for work and can transition well to a cocktail party can be tricky. Leather culottes pair just as easily and nicely with an embroidered sweatshirt for day as they do with a crepe off the shoulder top for night. Avoid looking garish when wearing rich materials by choosing pieces in neutral hues. And keep accessories minimal.

Too much of anything might start to look a little overdone, especially anything with embellishments like glitter and rhinestones. If you must get your hands on a very sparkly item, do it with accessories. A bag or shoes should be just enough to get the shiny holiday message across without blending in with the décor.
