I am a curvy gal and this hugs you 1:24 um but also it's not overpowering so it 1:27 is a sweater if you're familiar with 1:29 line and Dot like I know line and Dot 1:30 from their sweaters so this actually 1:33 came in a sweater version earlier this 1:35 year and it is just a full length midi 1:38 dress so it hits mid calf again I'm 5'7 1:41 for reference it's got a slit on both 1:44 sides so it's got like just enough 1:47 little sexy Edge to it and then it's all 1:49 about the accessories right so how fun 1:52 this year we are getting in emerald 1:54 green as a pop to the holiday season so 1:57 fun this little clutch by Prime Cut 1:59 would be a great little piece to take 2:01 out then simple little accessories this 2:05 is by every this is the Zoe necklace it 2:08 is just a little CZ really lays well 2:11 flat against your neckline nice little 2:13 pop to this and then just some little 2:15 extra bracelets here this is a fan girl 2:19 favorite by me this is Jenny bird it's a 2:23 beautiful gold bangle this would be a 2:25 great like if you want to give your 2:27 husband spouse partner someone something 2:30 to give you a little gift under the tree 2:31 this would be a beautiful new staple to 2:35 your jewelry wardrobe then going with 2:37 the emerald green theme just a little 2:39 pop of color nice little tennis bracelet 2:41 this is the Anna just a fun little play 2:45 to give your black outfit a little pop 2:47 and then you cannot go wrong when you 2:50 want to wear a pump with Kenneth Cole 2:53 this is the pump to get this is the Romy 2:56 it is a black suede gorgeous has such 3:00 great cushion for comfort and the nice 3:03 little pump there heel gorgeous okay 3:07 well let's look for some more holiday 3:08 outfits what if your holiday takes you 3:10 somewhere a little bit more casual maybe 3:13 it's a casual concert maybe it's a 3:16 little dinner party at someone's home 3:18 how do you go back to that denim but 3:20 really you know make it have that 3:21 holiday feel so I'm envisioning Us 3:24 midwesterners by the time we roll into 3:27 holiday parties we need a little coat I 3:30 would highly recommend this from Monroe 3:32 it's gorgeous it's called Optic White 3:35 but when you see that online if you're 3:36 shopping online it is really a very 3:39 pretty cream like a really buttery cream 3:41 it's got a beautiful feel to it runs a 3:45 little bit big I typically take larges 3:46 I'm in a size medium but depending on 3:49 how you want to wear it you know to me 3:51 this would be a little layer over you 3:53 know kind of a nicer elevated look where 3:55 I just I don't want to wear my puffer 3:56 right I want to wear something a little 3:58 elevated but if you are in a more 4:00 moderate climate this could be a winter 4:02 coat for you so it's really gorgeous 4:04 great little pockets here fantastic 4:07 I'll take it off so you can see the top 4:09 but I love this little layered peak of 4:11 the holiday kind of festive flare 4:13 underneath this little top is the 4:15 Charlotte it's by ever Eve and it's a 4:18 ruffle blouse that would be perfect for 4:21 those you know just more casual 4:23 occasions 4:25 um where you can kind of get away with 4:26 that just really beautiful top and denim 4:28 so again this is the Charlotte Ruffles 4:31 sorry lots of hair here Ruffles all 4:34 around the neckline Ruffles up here on 4:37 your shoulder kind of that lovely V 4:39 which I love for the US curvy gals or 4:42 those who have broader shoulders really 4:44 kind of nips you in and then it's got a 4:47 great little gathering at the bottom so 4:49 you can wear it fully down you could 4:52 kind of ruche it up towards your elbows 4:55 just a really pretty fit then I have on 4:58 our ever Eve jeans have you tried these 5:00 yet they fit phenomenally and the 5:05 fabrication is gorgeous too this is the 5:08 ever straight high rise so it is a 5:11 higher rise which is great kind of nips 5:13 you in at the waist here like really 5:14 creates that nice waistline for you 5:17 um the color here is a nice medium wash 5:20 there's a little bit of deconstruction 5:23 no open holes making it perfect to go 5:26 back to your holiday looks and then it 5:29 is a little bit of a crop so if you can 5:31 see that I'm in a little mid booty this 5:34 is a booty by Mark Fisher so fun for the 5:37 holiday season comes in this great 5:39 pewter which I have on which would be 5:42 great for going out in Holiday looks if 5:45 you want something a little bit more 5:46 traditional to add to your wardrobe this 5:48 is the stellen booty in black but really 5:51 fun great to wear that kind of cropped 5:54 denim just over the top would also be 5:56 great with the black dress that I tried 5:58 on earlier any kind of midi dress that 6:00 you're wearing for the holiday season 6:02 and then just a little pop of 6:04 accessories I kept on that Stevie 6:06 bracelet by Jenny bird that I think is 6:08 such a great Staple in addition to your 6:11 wardrobe and then added in the little 6:13 holiday Flair with this Josie hoop by 6:16 ever Eve really really fun just a little 6:19 pop of CZ and gold picks up this little 6:22 shimmery gold in the Charlotte top and 6:25 there you go you're ready for those more
