Holiday parties are possibly one of the top reasons why this time of year is so much fun. From office soirees to friendly get-togethers, we will find any reason to rendezvous in good spirits. Enemies seem to forget their hostilities and once the eggnog begins flowing, anything can happen. Suddenly, tinsel becomes the favorite fashion accessory, and poor choices are made. Perhaps with a little pre-party planning, you can avoid the regretful decisions, including unfortunate accessorizing.
For starters, pick something festive. Think about the way you decorate your house for the season and go a similar route for your ensemble. Gold tones mimic the warm light created by flickering candles, and, therefore, gold jewelry is a good place to start looking. Gorjana’s Gold Star Wrap Necklace can be worn as a long single-strand necklace or wrapped around the neck twice for a shorter, double-strand necklace. For a fuller, richer look, layer the necklace with another, such as Brian Danielle’s Multi Stone Necklace which features pearls, citrine, amethyst, and topaz.
Also, at this time of year you can get away with wearing certain pieces that you might be leery to try at other times. Our favorite is Gerard Yosca’s Bow Cuff. What better time than this to take a statement piece such as this for a test drive? You’ll look just as good as all the gifts being exchanged, if not better!
If yellow gold isn’t really your thing, Max and Chloe has a plethora of silver jewelry. One item that will positively stand out is Sogoli’s Silver Chain Knot Earrings. These earrings cascade beautifully from your ears and are unlike anything we have seen before.
Modern-day princesses can put a contemporary twist on the old tiara and sport one of Blu’s Royalty Headbands. They bear a sizable cluster of crystals and pearls on one side. The headbands come in three rich colors (navy, black, and purple) that will complement almost any outfit. We guarantee that you will be the belle of the ball in one of these pieces.
Now the only things you have to keep in mind are:
- Remember to make an entrance
- Stay hydrated (read: drink a lot of water to avoid those potentially regretful decisions)
- Have a blast!
