Outfit Post: Sequin & Beaded Shorts for Winter

It's kind of hard to believe that my 10 year reunion happened in December. I mean sometimes, high school feels like a zillion years ago. But it just doesn't seem right that it's already been 10 years! And when something as crazy and exciting as a reunion is scheduled in the middle of winter, (ummmm.. yeah.. what??) I kind of freaked out about what to wear. But, as usual The Impeccable Pig & Sole Society came to my rescue!

I think the best part of these beaded sequin shorts, is that they can be worn both during the winter and summer. Since it's the middle of December and bare legs usually don't show up until after February, I paired these gorgeous and fun shorts with opaque tights. Kept me warm but my outfit still stayed dressy. In the summer they'll look so good with some strappy sandals and a blousy tank. I seriously can't wait for some warmer temps. I usually base a lot of my purchases on how much wear I can get out of the item. I guess that's what people call.. being an adult?

Sole Society continues to create gorgeous shoes season after season. These fringe ankle boots are going to get LOTS of play in my wardrobe rotation. Hello summer concert shoes! And although I've bought mostly bigger bags from them, this gold shimmer clutch is just what my handbag collection needed. I love that it can go from cross body to night out clutch so easily.

What's your favorite trick for making 1 piece last through different seasons? Happy Monday everyone!

But before I give you the details of that - let's talk about Holiday outfits. I don't know about you, but I've got about a bazillion different Christmas parties and winter events to go to. Weddings, Holiday Gatherings and just general spirited festivities. And not every occasion calls for glittering skirts and the highest of heels (but really, why not?)

 

If you're looking for a more casual holiday outfits, here's an outfit you might want to try. My lacy shorts are still dressy and festive. But it's perfect for those occasions where flat boots and an oversize sweater are a more comfy selection.
