A little ladylike refinement goes a long way, particularly transitioning from work meetings to holiday cocktail soirees. Try any number of lace blouses and dress with flirty details like sparkly earrings, adorned heels or a shiny crystal watch. Remember that lace looks lovely, unless it reveals the underpinnings beneath.
Make sure you have a purse that matches the sweet nature of this look, perhaps a 40’s-inspired structured handbag with elegant top handles. A fantastic, classic stiletto continues the feminine theme, and a pencil skirt writes it off as completely chic.

It’s time to breathe deep before the holiday season…and prepare for shopping battle! Channel your Lynda Carter Wonder Woman strength and get on board with bodacious cuffs. Available in every metallic shade and shape – from architectural modern to slightly sci-fi orbs – you’ll feel other-worldly and powerful with this statement on your wrist. Not quite ready for such a bold move? Then layer thinner bangles with a bracelet watch to get a piece of the action.
As the last of the leaves fall and we prepare for a drop in temperature, snazz up your winter wardrobe with a fun coat. Assuming you already have at least one warm coat in a neutral hue that goes with everything, then it’s time to branch out into a luxurious tweed, a roaring leopard print or a pink or crimson color. Be adventurous. Opt for texture as long as it doesn’t add bulk, and keep climate in mind: live in a warm place? Then the heaviest fabrication you need can be found in a ruffled trench.
