Dec 23
The halls might be decked in red and green, but this holiday, we are celebrating in METALLICS! Give us a deep gold or shiny silver (and maybe a glass of spiked eggnog for Paige), and we are ready to celebrate. We love metallics for the winter because they are season appropriate and a ton of fun, but they can be styled up or down to go casual or glam.
We had a blast styling (and shooting) this look, because with gold and silver as our backdrops, this one is all about the accessories and details. HELLO shades and red lips! Ashley wore her silver outfit with the By My Side bracelet, the Year 2051 and 2052 bracelets, the Forever rings, and the Soul Mate midi ring. Paige went gold with the You Complete Me necklace, Brussels bracelet, and Rio de Janeiro rings.
Alright, alright, we admit, a houndstooth skirted sweatsuit might not really be a backdrop so much as a statement, but the silver and black color story prevents a bold pattern from overwhelming a look. Typing that out makes it sound like an outfit we wouldn’t touch with a ten foot pole (“houndstooth skirted sweatsuit), but here is an important lesson we take with us everywhere we go, and we will share this insight as our holiday gift to you:
The only thing separating stylish women from everyone else is CONFIDENCE.
Women are a powerful force, and we all have it in us to be whatever we want to be, whether that is successful, fierce, strong, or stylish. Sometimes the only missing ingredient is confidence. So go bold this holiday season and wear that outfit that has been hanging for months in your closet because you “don’t have anywhere to wear it” or you “can’t pull it off.” Bah humbug! You can do and wear whatever makes you happy with just a dash of confidence. And maybe some of Paige’s eggnog.
Happy styling!
Lots of Love,
Ashley and Paige
