What to Wear - Christmas Parties

Earlier this week we were asked by one of our readers to do post on what to wear to a Christmas parties. Now, we haven't been to a Christmas party in years! So it was fun to do this post. Though if all goes well, I will be attending a Christmas formal put on by our Church for the Collage age young adults. As it is a Black Tie event I will be going all out formal! How exciting! I will be wearing the formal I made for the SAICFF back in October (yes, the event I still haven't post pictures of my outfit yet :) ).

Look One - Fancy Christmas Party. 

This is a fun, modern outfit for a more fancy Christmas party. Featuring lace, ruffles, chiffon, sparkle, and heels. If you didn't want to buy anything new, but wanted to recreate the look. Wear a black or red dress. Add a sweater or jacket with a pop of color (if wearing a black dress). Find jewelry that makes a statement. If you don't own a clutch, use a large wallet instead (I do this all the time).  

Look Two - Edgy Meets Girly

I really like this look. It features a slightly oversized sweater, slimming black skirt, ruffled booties, printed tights, and a ring that makes a statement. This is one of the easiest to recreate without buying anything. As there is a chance you already own most of the items showed here. Just wear neutral colors that look good on you, with some pops of color. My choice is black and grey with a splash of purple. 

   

Christmas Look Three - Girly Christmas 

Instead of wearing the traditional colors red and green - why don't you try purple and brown? I find dark purple to be quite elegant and somewhat Christmas-y. What non-traditional colors do you like to wear for Christmas events?

Christmas Look Four - Classic

This look is the most traditional. Tailored grey dress, oxford heels, splashes of red, plaid, and snowflakes. This is the look that Gabrielle loves! And if you know Gabrielle, you would know that this look is very her. She even owns the oxford heels. :) Wear a classic tailored dress, or a skirt (pencil would be fabulous! Though, a-line would work too.) and blouse. Add some punch of color in the tights and purse. Don't forget some whimsy with some Christmas themed jewelry. 

This is just a start on what you could wear to Christmas parties. I'm planing sometime soon to do a whole photo-shoot, of different Christmas party outfits that are from my closet. Hopefully, I will get it done this weekend. Because next Saturday is Christmas. :)

What to wear for Valentines?

I have put together a set with some ideas on what you can wear for Valentines.

What to wear for Valentines by Bramblewood Fashion featuring BKE jeans

You can take the basic ideas from this set, example: wear pink & red together and add some touches of black for your accent color. Or wear some black, if it looks good on you, and add accents of pink or red.  Wear florals, large or small, hearts, or what ever strikes your fancy as being perfect for Valentines Day. 

I have my outfit all picked out for Valentines, which if you didn't know is this Sunday. What is my outfit you ask? :D Well, I made it myself out of a vintage 1964 dress pattern. It has a lovely dropped waist, and the fabric has small circles that are in two shades of pink. Very lovely! Of course, I'll post pictures when I'm done. ;-)

What are you going to wear for Valentines?  Do tell me. 

 

Thanksgiving Fashion

With Thanksgiving coming up, you must be pondering on what you should wear!? Well, I am. Thanksgiving is a day spent with family and friends, lots of yummy food, and maybe some football. :-) I love the holidays! And I'm always planning weeks, or months, in advance on what I'm going to wear for the holidays. :P

I have put together some ideas for you on what YOU can wear for Thanksgiving. I haven't decided yet on what I'll wear for Thanksgiving. Though, I may take my own advice. :-) (I only have my Christmas outfit planned out. :p)

You can easily change the skirt for jeans, or black slacks. I was having fun discovering all these cute skirts to add those in. You see, black is one of my favorite colors for clothing - in a classy vintage way. :-) 

What are YOU planning on wearing for Thanksgiving? Maybe YOU will give me ideas on what I should wear. :-)
