12 Days of Holiday: Festive for Work

Today starts my holiday fashion series.  I have twelve days of holiday looks planned.  

Dress:  LOFT Petites (last year) (Similar here)
Blazer:  The Limited (Available here)

Hopefully, my outfits will give you ideas for a range of holiday events, from fabulous parties to running errands to New Year's Eve rocking.

Today's outfit is a recent attempt to incorporate a little holiday glitz and glam into a work look.  The red dress is made more festive with a velvet sparkly belt and faux leather lapel blazer.

Belt:  LOFT (Available here)
Tights:  New York & Company (Available here)

Clutch:  The Limited (Available here)
Boots:  Fergalicious by Fergie (Available here)

I think this is a perfect day-to-night look or would look great for a work holiday party.

Bangles:  LOFT (Available here and here)

How do you transition work looks for evening holiday celebrations?

Crop it Off

Hope you all had a great weekend!

Blazer:  Forever 21+ (Available here)
Blouse:  Old Navy Petites

Pants:  New York & Company (Similar here)
Shoes:  Target (old)

Today I topped off basic black work staples with a cropped pink blazer with faux leather lapels.  

Bracelets:  Express (here) and Target

I had initially considered wearing my black tuxedo stripe skinnies (see here).  The wide-leg pants are a slightly less modern choice; however, they seem more elegant and work appropriate with the cropped blazer.

Cropped blazers are super flattering for petites as they really work with smaller proportions.  I can't wait to wear this blazer with flowy dresses when the temperature warms.

Tote:  New York & Company (Similar here)
