Casual Party Attire

If you're attending an event during the day, it is usually safe to say that it will be on more of the casual side. During the holiday season, daytime style is all about layering- clothes and jewelry! Pair dark, trouser jeans and a boatneck or button-down top with a fun, yet tailored, blazer. Accessorize this polished look with classic stud earrings and either a contemporary stack of bracelets or layer of necklaces. Your jewelry will add color and texture to your simply stated outfit and turn it into a WOW ensemble! Lastly, a shimmering clutch and pretty pumps or trendy booties will finish off your look.
