So very glam!

I've found so many pretty looks for the holiday season and it's not even December yet. Here are just a few but expect more in the days to come.

Satin charmeuse wrap dress
Look at that color. Do you see it? Oh my God. I love the wrap style and the cuffed sleeves but the star of this show is that color. It's also comes in classic black and brown but c'mon, BLUE! It's available in sizes 10/12 through 30/32 from Kiyonna for $146.

Shantung dress
This is the quintessential little black dress - timeless, versatile, reliable. You can dress it up with sparkly jewelry and heels for a party, or wear a jacket over it for work. Lane Bryant always has coupons, so that can knock the price down even more. Available in sizes 14 - 28 for $80 from Lane Bryant.

Robbie Bee Sleeveless Dress
Another beautiful dress in a gorgeous color, deep raspberry this time. I like the teeny little animal print detail at the waist and the longer length is perfect for formal occasions. One thing to look for with sleeveless dresses is wide straps - you can wear a real, supportive bra instead of trying to hoist yourself into a strapless thing. This Robbie Bee dress is available in sizes 14 - 24 from Nordstrom for $98.

I know not everyone likes to wear dresses and skirts. First of all, it's cold outside! Second, you might just be more comfortable and confident in pants. Pants can be totally appropriate for dressy occasions if you keep in mind fabric and details. Cotton really doesn't dress up (obviously) so go for more flowy fabrics like silk and poly blends.

I chose these tuxedo pants from IGIGI for the velvet pattern along the side of the leg, which is reminiscent of the satin stripe on men's tuxedo pants (hence the name). You can pair the pants with any number of tops and jackets for several events over the holiday season and beyond. They're available in black and cobalt blue, sizes 14/16 - 30/32 for $79 from IGIGI.
