Tips and Tricks to Shine this Holiday Season

On your way to that special holiday gathering, family get-together or office party, here are some easy tips to shine this holiday season and make the most of your natural beauty.

1.) Now is not the time to recycle.  Though you may wear those old bridesmaid dresses and prom dresses someday, the holidays are not the time.  Overdressing is just as uncomfortable as underdressing.  Rather than wearing your old sequined prom dress to a formal holiday event, select a classic formal dress and accessorize. Consider a sparkling fabric wrap or pashmina to finish your look.

2.) Cartoons are for kiddos.  Steer clear of holiday sweaters with snowmen, reindeer, Santa Claus and excess holiday ric-rack.  Save those novelties for your children and theme parties.

3.)  Too much bling can be a bad thing.  Sequins, sparkles and glitter are festive but sometimes less is more. Accessorize with sparkles don’t wear an entire sequined dress. Leave the excessive adornments on the trees and they pretty packages you’ll be bringing.

4.) Be classy not sassy.  Other than perhaps a New Year’s Eve celebration, leave the tight dresses, mini-skirts and low cut necklines in your closet.  There’s no need to bare all at the office party or family get together.  Find sex appeal in silky fabrics and a great pair of high heels rather than a plunging neckline.
