Monday Outfit: Holiday Parties Go Glam

Nov 8, 2021

It’s not often that a look stops me completely in my tracks.  So when I spotted this dramatic evening look on Hailey Bieber (yes, that Bieber), I knew I had to find a way to use it as inspiration for holiday party attire.  Let’s go.

This Saint Laurent gown is truly stunning, but finding a similar duplicate would be impossible.  So let’s break down the essential elements of Hailey Bieber’s look — v-neck, white, structured, chunky stack of bangles, deep burgundy lip.  This, this is doable.

Sweater // Given that this is for a holiday gathering, I thought a white sweater might be a good choice.  This one from Jardin Des Orangers has a pulled in waist and dramatic v-neck.  For something in cashmere, White + Warren offers a similar faux wrap style.  Prefer a simple v-neck?  Banana Republic has you covered.  Plus-size?  Nasty Gal has a similar style.

Skirt // I chose a skirt for this outfit because I dream of a world of dressy cocktail parties.  Luckily, Tahari has an affordable one that can also squeeze into a professional wardrobe.  I also like these wide leg pants from Ann Taylor.  Or stick with a pair of white jeans in a flare leg.

Earrings // I love the uniqueness of these J.Crew pearl drop earrings.  They’re delicate, but modern.  In fact, all of J.Crew’s pearl jewelry is pretty great right now.

Bracelets // The cuffs with the pushed up sleeves are the key to this look.  For me, I would go with both wrists.  For this look, I stuck to one.  The bottom cuff is from St. John and is marked down from $400 to $60.  So it’s a steal.  The top cuff is from Jenny Bird, a beautifully made brand, and is on sale at Nordstrom Rack.

Other awesome cuff options include this Missoma dome cuff, this Stella Toledano cuff with round accents, or these <$50 thinner cuffs from Baublebar.  Or you can still with one dramatic cuff and let Kenneth Jay Lane deliver the goods.

Shoes // I wanted a burgundy pump for this look to complement the bold lip.  This pair from Nine West was calling my name.  These wine-colored flats from Sarah Jessica Parker are also worth a look.

Lipstick // The darkest shade of burgundy lipstick I own comes from Bobbi Brown.  The darkest shade I could find for sale comes from Huda Beauty.  The HB lipstick is perfectly matte and deeply pigmented (plus the packaging is gorgeous).

My dark under eye circles have been the bane of my existence since I was 12. Is the cause lack of sleep? Dehydration? Sinus issues? Stress? Who the hell knows. But there they are, every day, telling the world that I am an exhausted working Mom.

Sloane loves the pool. She jumps from the deck into the water with a crash, never considering her own safety, only to emerge on the surface, shouting “Again!” The pool is my daughter’s happy place. But no place where I need to wear a swimsuit in public is a happy one for me.

The Mondays: July 22, 2024

The Crowdstrike/Microsoft Meltdown forced me to take a few days off this weekend. No laptop. No billable hours. So we packed Sloane up for a visit to a local llama farm, stopped by the pool, went for coffee, etc. Few things are as funny as watching a 23-month old feed carrots to a ravenous rescue […]
