Ho, Ho, Ho, Fashion Friends! FYI and Fashion News Alert: It's December, y’all! Um, sorry- how did we get here? Wasn't it summer just last week? This week, your favorite personal stylist Holly Katz is talking about the Who, What, When, Where and Why of holiday style, and how to dress for not only holiday events, but for the whole month of December. Join us as we discuss style options and trends for this holiday season. The holidays can bring out the best - and unfortunately - the worst in holiday style. Figuring out what to wear when you are already stressed about the holidays can be too much for some people. It can even be depressing, because you feel defeated before you even get started.  So first, let’s address the elephant in the room:  the Ugly Christmas Sweater thing; Yeah, no. Just, no.   Ok? Are we finally past this? Let's cast our net a little wider, shall we? Instead, with a little planning and some dos and don’ts from Holly, you will find you can let go of your outfit anxiety and maybe even become the “Hottest Dish at your Holiday Dinner!” #outfitgoals First, The What: Be comfortable, but not too comfy Comfort is important, but it doesn't mean that you do not try. Being dressed for the day will make you feel better and motivate you to do more. Sitting around in clothes that you don't want to be seen in public is a fashion crime. It’s a busy time of the year – you are going places, seeing people, welcoming people in your home.   Instead, Holly recommends “elevated casual” wear.  Something with a little stretch or give in it. Try cute joggers or flare knit pants paired with a hip sneaker (not workout sneakers). Add a cropped jacket or a chunky sweater. Then add some statement jewelry and a cool bag  - and you are fashionable comfortable to stay home all day – or run out for quick errands.   Going out to dinner If you are going out at night, you need a little somethin’ somethin’ more than the day. Whether it’s a casual dinner with friends or something a little more spirited, try a maxi dress or long skirt with boots. Holly recommends staying away from the blue jean look.  You can wear that all day. For nighttime, wear a colored denim or a leather-like jean, which is like a wax-coated jean. This is an absolute favorite staple. And it looks good at any size.   Special events If you are attending a concert or other events at the top of the food chain, Holly prefers a dress – if it’s special, dress up!  Recommended is a surplus wrap dress (like the famous Diane Von Furstenberg), or a maxi dress paired with a bodysuit top, a leather jacket, and a dress shoe. One recommendation: If you are going to wear a short dress, Puulleeeazzzzz do a “sit down” test first. If you sit down, and it comes way above the knee or your thigh, the dress is too short.  Pair a short dress with our #BrandBestie Vienne Milano patterned tights or stockings, and a cute evening bag, and you are knocking it out of the park!   Evening bags 411 These are not your everyday shoppers or tote bags. Invest in the time to find a small evening bag that will add a little pop when going out. Get one at T.J. Maxx on sale or buy the Judith Leiber, just have one in your closet at all times.   Next, The Where: Cold weather-wear Where you are living is very important when you're taking these fashion tips into consideration. We just want to say this: if you live in a super cold climate, a dress code is a non-negosh. Outerwear, when it's really cold outside, is just as important as the outfit you are wearing underneath. Do not skimp on this. If Holly catches you wearing a puffer jacket or ski jacket when you get dressed up, she is going to find you.  If you've had the same coat for 15 years, let's get your ass a new coat. Guess what? There are new styles out now and forever. Get a new coat. Please.  #Duh   Warm weather-wear If you live somewhere where it's really hot, or the seasons don't really change, you can still dress a little bit more festive during th
