There are a few things I always like to have in my closet when the holidays come around. Although alone my must-have items don’t spell out C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S, they do come together to make me feel polished and just festive enough! And they don’t have to cost a bundle! So what are my must-have items? First of all, a girl needs a good foundation! Am I right?! If you don’t have no-show underwearthere is still time! The last thing we need are lines showing in those pretty holiday dresses and skirts! I might even add shapewear to that list to help counteract the effects of Christmas cookies! Haha!

My second must-have? A nice festive clothing item. It could be anything, but often a festive color will work best. Last year I wore my red plaid skirt. This year will be this green velvet blazer! It actually is shown belted, but after trying it on when it arrived it was not flattering on my figure at all. So I thought outside the box and snipped those belt loops right off. The result? A gorgeous, dark emerald, fully-lined boyfriend blazer that goes with everything from skirts to pants! It’s eye-catching and looks so much more expensive than it is! And don’t forget to use code Q4idodeclaire for 15% off this or anything else from SheIn through 12/31!

Here are 2 other ways I’ve worn this fabulous blazer over the past couple of weeks, too!
And the most important, final must-have for dressing for the holidays? SPARKLE! Now is the time for all the pretties and statement pieces! I prefer to pick either a necklace or earrings, and then add extra on my fingers and wrists with pretty rings and bracelets. Earrings and necklaces are easy to find on amazon for less than $20 for dressier events, but if you are looking for sparkle to wear everyday all season long, check out Starking Watches! I have a few of their watches and LOVE them! They are delicate watches with the prettiest faces! Pearl, glittery, abalone, and more, you will find something for yourself to wear with a casual outfit, but add a few bracelets and it dresses up perfectly, too! They make wonderful gifts, especially with their prices points starting so low. And the quality and comfort are top notch as well. I’ve had some of mine for a few months and they still look incredible. My newest has a beautiful silvery, sparkly watch face that I’m in love with and compliments so many of my other jewelry pieces. The best part? I’m giving away one of these watches! Enter for a chance to win below and good luck!
