Party season is upon us and if your schedule is as hectic as mine has become never fear, this guide will help you put the right outfit together for the occasion you are about to attend!
This holiday season things are ramping up with shine, lace and velvet to be the most glamourous ever. Let’s look at different occasions and put some outfits together that you can wear to them.
The Office Party
Decorum should never be thrown out the window at your office’s holiday party or at your spouse’s. This is not the time to bear all the skin you can, keep yourself fairly classic. 
If your office party isn’t that dressy but you still need to look fairly chic try something like these fabulous High-rise Pull-on Peyton Wide-Leg Lace pants from J. Crew, they also come in Red and Jade lace if you want something different. But Black lace pants are something you can pull out almost all year long. I have a pair from a few years ago and I still wear them all the time, lace is timeless like that. Pair a black top with it to be tone on tone which is totally chic right now or try this adorable
Ruffle neck top in 365 Crepe also from J. Crew. Fabulous with the lace pants or with any black pants you already own.
And if your office is a really creative one, then go all out. Try a look like this one. All from J. Crew, it’s the Collection Bow back top in metallic leaf jacquard with the matching Collection high-rise cigarette pant in metallic leaf jacquard. Shine is where it’s at this holiday season and in an outfit like this you will be poistively glowing!
The Holiday Ball
In Vancouver we have a Christmas time tradition called the Family Ball and it is a very formal occasion, there are other formal parties this time of year as well. And sometimes even New Year’s eve is a formal occasion.
Traditionally this meant long dresses for women, but 2019 is a lot different and there are things you can wear formally now that you may not have been able to wear before.
How about trying a great Halter Wide-Leg Jumpsuit from Banana Republic?
It comes in Ultra Red (shown) or Black and both would be as formal as a long dress. Or check out Anthropologie for Jumpsuits, they have lots. Try a jumpsuit like 
There are lots of dresses that can also be formal without being maxi. Try one of the great midi length dresses instead. 
The House Party
Whether it’s a New Year’s eve, a tree trimming or a Chanukkah party there are always a lot of house parties going on. And for a house party there are no rules, you can dress up your denim or dress down you formal wear. Most people wear something festive but still comfortable. So how do you look your chic while still staying festive and comfortable?
Try a pair of velvet pants. J. Crew has the same Peyton pull-on pants in Velvet that they have above in Lace. They come in 4 colors including black and you could wear these pants everywhere. To a party and even to work! Keep the top casual, like the denim shirt above. Or reverse it, wear a dressier blouse and more casual pants
with a Soft Satin Puff Sleeve top from Banana Republic that ties at the waist.
Other fun pieces that I love that you can pair with denim on the bottom are a beautiful mock neck floral lace top from J. Crew, which comes in 5 lace colors.
This Metallic Smocked Sleeve Blouse from BR that would work with any color denim on the bottom or do a Velvet Mock neck top 
in 3 colors including black that you could wear everywhere also from BR. Or go all out with shine 
On the bottom try, Drapey waist cargo pants from J. Crew in 3 colors or Tartan pants
that are super cute also from J. Crew. You could also do a different velvet bottom from BR, try the Sloan skinny fit Velvet pants in 3 colors including black and dark teal (shown).
You could also have some fun with BR’s Sloan skinny fit pant in metallic leopard 
that would certainly put you as the life of the party. And if you love skirts try a skirt like 
Holiday parties require a lot of standing, so always remember to wear heels you can stand in. 
Check out the different stores we talked about online, everyone of them has a party shop that can give you great outfit ideas for all your occasions.
I want to let you all know about something happening in Vancouver this week. Our Jewelry expert Shoshana Lewis and some of her collegues are having a fabulous pop up shop that is not to be missed! It’s November 27 10 am to 9pm and Nov 28 10 am to 6pm at 4386 Main St. in Vancouver. Check this pop up shop for great jewelry, clothing and even art. It is not to be missed!
There is only 2 more weeks of blogs left until we break for the holidays. Next week our Jewelry expert Shoshana Lewis will give us tips and trends on glittery holiday gems and then the last blog will be a holiday gift guide of my favorite things.
I have no more styling appointments left until the new year. I will start working again on January 15 so book early if you want a January or February appointment. Email me at Suethefashionista@gmail.com to book an appointment.
until next time…
Why not try one is a little bit of an unexpected color? These two coats are from BR. If we follow our New Neutral guide both of these colors look great head to toe, and work perfectly with Black, Khaki, Beige and Denim. As the weather gets warmer they both look great with White too. 
Aritzia has softer trenches that can be worn inside as well as outside like Wilfred Pelat Trench that comes in Moroccan Spice and Soft Birch. 
Or go for an even softer trench look in Vancouver’s Spring Uniform coat, Babaton’s Lawson Trench coat, it’s available in 6 colors and you can wear it everywhere.
Anthropolgie has Levi’s Ex-Boyfriend Denim Trucker Jacket, which is about as classic as you can get and I wear my denim jacket (mine is from BR) all the time. If you already have a classic denim jacket perhaps this is the year you buy a white denim jacket, they are everywhere and will work with a neutral wardrobe as well.
BR’s Sandwash Modal Cropped Wide-Leg Jumpsuit. It comes in 3 neutral colors and is easy care and easy wear. Or try an Anthro jumpsuit in a new neutral color of Red. 
Red, in the Cathy Structured Jumpsuit, is one of my favorite new colors for spring and the key to jumpsuits for women over 40 is to make sure you can wear a bra with it. So both of these work perfectly. One other Anthro jumpsuit I want to show is 
the Colleen Stitched Jumpsuit. It’s classic enough to wear everywhere and it has a great ponte fabric that keeps its shape!
it comes in 7 great Neutral colors including Tuscan Sun. Or try a full length pant from Aritzia 
this is the Wilfred Cezanne Pant and it comes in 3 soft neutral colors. For spring pants keep your waist a little higher, that goes for your denim too. And if you are short-waisted like me, you can wear a high waist pant just with no belt detail, keep the waist elastic or simple.
Babaton’s Conen Pant Terado is a style we all know and love, and for Spring it comes in 12 mix and match neutral shades.
the Oona Utility dress at Anthro is perfect for warm days and vacations too. It also comes in a heathered black if you prefer that.
in lots of different fabrics and colors, if you want column this is where you find it. Or stick to a Sheath dress but one that fits this trend perfectly. 
Try a maxi skirt with a tank and tie waist jacket with a block heel for work and for casual switch out the tie waist jacket for denim and add flats. 
One of my favorite ways to wear the New Neutrals is head to toe, the new red is perfect for every business meeting you have. Keep the accessories simple and then you can pull the suit apart and mix with other neutrals for a change. The above combination outfits are from Nordstrom.com.
Here is the way the Conan Pant Terado from Aritzia can be work to work. This look follows the keep it simple rule and you will look fabulous. Wear it with pumps for a more serious look. As I said above a classic trench style coat can work a lot of ways, how about dressy?
Here is the Babaton Lawson trench doing double duty and being an evening coat over a dress. 
Or try some of the ways Instyle Magazine is showing Runway Cargo Chic, just tone it down a bit. So easy to wear beige of khaki head to toe, try your wrap jacket or trench with a softer print pant and wear your high-waisted neutral pant with a crisp white shirt.
Aritzia’s Babaton Steadman Coat is less than $300 and you will look elegant whenever you put it on. You can wear this coat to the office with a suit, out for dinner with a dress and even on the weekend with your favorite jeans.
This picture is from an email I got from Shoptiques.com, one of the best sites for inspiration on putting outfits together. Jen is really looking so refined and classy the way she has put her black coat, scarf and boots together with denim. Take a hint from her and maybe try to add a heel to your everyday boot. You don’t have to do as high a heel as Jen, but you do want some heel. 
Banana Republic’s Cowboy Ankle Boot has a 2 inch heel and is only $110 on-line right now! Want a knee-high boot to wear with denim 
Nordstrom has tons of their boots on sale right now, online is better than in store, less picked over. This boot is from Sam Edelman and would look fantastic with skinny jeans tucked in. And the heel is a block 2 inch heel so you can walk all day!
and remember BR always has a sale on.
It’s ok to invest in a piece like this because by the time you are in your 50’s you are likely not to jump on every trend, every season, and a great tailored jacket looks great with everything.
These Logan Trouser-Fit Lightweight Wool pant is perfect to wear with your head to toe black look, or wear it more casually like shown in the above picture.
The Ann Taylor Essential shirt comes in lots of colors and it’s polyester so no wrinkling.
These are from Vanelli and at Nordstrom.com. Slingback will take you right into spring and beyond, it’s a nice change from pumps.
It’s a great refined and elegant look while still having a bit of edge to your outfit!
this is the dusty pink color and it also comes in a gold tone 
. Both of these shimmery colors will give your face the glow it needs while wearing an all black outfit.
This Something Navy 2 in 1 disc necklace works over crew neck dresses and high collars like turtlenecks too. Do you love pearls?? Make your pearls the star of the show!
This Chan Luu mixed Stone Dagger Pendant necklace will garner everyone’s attention with your head to toe black outfit.
and it doesn’t get any cleaner lines than BR’s Avery Washable wool pants. Stick to a beautiful blouse 
like Ann Taylor’s Flare Sleeve top and top it all with a coat that makes you smile every time you put it on. 
I love Artizia’s Wilfred Cocoon coat, on sale right now and will look great for years. Pair you metallic scarf with it and off you go!
Meryl Streep’s amazing head to toe black with a metallic scarf can be everyone’s inspiration!
this is their Emory Finesse Crepe dress and you can wear this everywhere! Invest in a stunning pair of Theory Straight leg stretch trousers.
They will look as good as they feel.
This Veronica Beard stretch Silk Top will give you just the pop of color you need while having the high neck so you don’t need a scarf.
And if you prefer solids, this See By Chloe Ruffled neck blouse would be perfect with black. And you are never too old for sophisticated animal print! 
This great Dolce and Gabbana Leopard print top will look great with black and you can even wear it back to your denim! And why not invest in a coat with some detail on the black? 
This fabulous Burbury Horberie Quilted Trench will love you right back, day or evening.
I am in love with this beautiful coat, bag and boots on Helen Mirren. Don’t be afraid to treat yourselves!
And absolutely no one rocks 80 better than Jane Fonda.
like this Desra Silk Dress, regularly $338 (US) for $199.95 less 25% which is $149.96. So for $150 you think this is a great deal! But once you put it in your cart and they add shipping and taxes you are back up to $200. So it is really not a good deal. You need to keep an eye out for that. Also when shopping on the Anthro site keep in mind all the prices are US dollars and if you are shopping from Canada add 30% off right away. Sometimes it might be better to go to your local Anthro store and buy it.
this beautiful sequin pencil skirt reduced from $140 to $14.99. Wow! That is an amazing deal if you will actually wear a sequin skirt. If you are like me and love to get dressed up then go for it, but if you consider dressy black pants and a fancy skirt don’t buy it. Final clearances are not returnable. Something that is an amazing deal and I would grab it in an instant on WHBM’s final clearance page is 
this pair of wide leg black pants for $29.99 but don’t get too excited they only have size 0 or size 16 left. I happen to be neither of those!
a great black merino wool short sleeve sweater that you can wear all year round and you get to the check out and it’s only $26.99, that is truly a steal! The regular price is $95. Pieces like this you can wear over and over.
This is the Olga Boiled Wool Top Coat by J. Crew exclusively for Nordstrom. It’s normally $385 but during their Anniversary Sale it’s $256.65. That’s a pretty good savings for something new for fall. 
How about a Moto leather jacket? If you didn’t pick one up last year they are going to be super strong for fall again. This is the Halogen Moto jacket regular $415 on sale now for $277, not a bad deal at all. Or how about a pair of boyfriend jeans, those you will really wear all year round. 
These KUT from the KLOTH Catherine Boyfriend jeans are regularly over $125 on sale right now for $83, if they fit you it’s a great deal for something you will wear all the time. At Nordstrom Anniversary Sale I tend to look for things that I need but also wouldn’t pay for if they were regular price. For me Boots are one of the key things I look for. For example 
This pair of Grey Varta Waterproof booties from Blondo are right up my alley. They follow all my rules for boots, I need to be able to wear them if it’s raining, they go with almost all my pants and jeans and I really like grey. But I doubt I would pay over $200 for them, I don’t need them that badly ( I actually have grey booties already) and I would prefer something with a bit higher heel, but they are on sale for only $138 and that is a pretty great deal for leather waterproof booties. So it is something I think about.
that you can for sure wear right into fall and winter is regularly $125 now on for $75. But I have to be honest, it is always 40% off. I bought a pair last spring for 40% off and then just went back and bought a smaller pair for the same discount. So pay attention because why would you ever pay full price when you know they go on sale all the time. So why would you ever pay full price for something at BR. Not only that if you order online you can return in store. So needless to say I shop there a lot.
I think these would be great to own or to gift to any woman like me whose necklaces are always tangled when she arrives at her destination.
This cotton, silk and cashmere sweater looks good on everyone and is light enough for most men to wear under a blazer. And for a dressed down look a white t-shirt would look great underneath it. Find this sweater for all the men in your life at Banana Republic, it comes in lots of colors.
I bought a grey and black one at Banana Republic this fall and have worn it to death already, it also comes in this fabulous houndstooth, a wonderful animal print 
and solid colors that are reversible. This would be a great gift for sister or special girl friend or even for yourself if you run cold like me.
. I think I have worn them almost everyday since I got them. I am actually wearing them as I write this blog! If you live in a climate with snow and rain like I do, a weather proof boot that has style will be your best friend all winter.
The first is this black and red/green plaid top with a button back and balloon sleeves, I love it and will wear it throughout the year. 
The second top I couldn’t find online anymore but I have a thing for red this year and grabbed this top up as soon as I saw it, I love the fit and it has a cute ruffle at the cuff. Both tops I bought on Black Friday so of course I got a great deal, but neither are over $100 full price in the store or online.
Nordstrom has lots of cute and trendy fun bottles to choose from. You can do metal, glass or a hard plastic that is recyclable. These make great stocking stuffers and secret Santa gifts for work. So say goodbye to single use plastic water bottles!
This jacket is packable and good to -20 celcius so he will stay warm. Best of all right now it’s only $49 online. Or you can do almost the same thing from Eddie Bauer 
This is their Men’s Downlight hooded jacket but it cost a lot more than $49. It’s also good to -20. Every man in your life would love a new light weight down jacket. 
She always has lots to choose from and everything comes in gold and silver and now she has lots in Rose Gold too. You can find her on Instagram under Shok Designs, send her a message and buy some of these great bracelets for yourself or someone else. Every woman I know would love to see one of these come her way this time of year. And they are ageless, I wear them, my nieces wear them and every age in between.
I wear mine all the time, to the gym, at home or over a casual pair of jeans. Tna is one of the Aritzia brand of stores and you can find Tna products either in an Aritzia store or online. I think this would be a great jacket to gift or to own!
They come in tons of colors, styles and diopters (the magnifying strength you need). You can get them in Vancouver or Toronto at the Latest Scoop or you can order them online at izipizi.com. And best of all they are unisex, so they work for both men and women. And let’s face it, if we are at the age where we need reading glasses don’t you want to look good in them? They should fit your style, so ditch the drugstore ones and try a pair of these, they are less than $50 US and only about $60 Canadian. I would say it is worth it to look good!
Links are the newest trend in necklaces, especially link necklaces with charms on them. You can wear these beautiful necklaces everywhere, work, evening out and even for casual. Alter the mood of each necklace by changing the type of charm you are attaching! 
Or go for the other huge link necklace trend and that is the lock and key trend. Tiffany made wearing jewelry with locks on it chic a few years ago and now everyone is wanting to do this. By wearing one of the new links necklace with the lock you are bringing the trend into 2019 and making it wearable again.
these stunning gem stone floral necklaces. These are perfect with your holiday attire! You can either match what tones you are wearing or do a necklace in a complimentary tone that adds a new dimension to your outfit. Size matters as well, wear the smaller size flowers with your more delicate feminine outfits and wear the larger floral gems when you really want to make a statement.
Shok Designs newest stackable bracelets have intials or jewelled items, those are great added to any stackable bands you have already, or do a big ball stack or link and wear it on it’s own. 
Or you can mix and match with all the stackable bracelets you bought before. The very newest trend is mixing metals like mixing your silver and gold stackable bracelets together. 
This is a great trend for bracelets, necklaces, rings and even earrings. Mixing different colors of metals create a modern and texturized look for your entire outfit! You can do the same thing with rings. 
Stacking your rings creates fun and chic looks, mix metal colors and jewel tones to create your own fun and festive look. The stacks can be as elaborate or as simple as you want. If you have small hands keep them smaller or wear more rings on more fingers. If you long, lovely fingers then stack away! 
Fresh water pearls continue to be chic whether they are worn as a necklace charm or in your earrings. Long and strong earrings continue to be very important as well and your pearls can work here too. 
A few seasons ago we talked about chandelier earrings and earrings that graze your collar, both of these trends are peaking again for this year’s holiday season. Think how great a long and strong pair of earrings would look with a strapless or off shoulder gown and nothing on your neck. You would be the epitome of chic at your holiday gala!
Shok Designs has lots of wonderful Barettes to make your hair sparkle. If you look at a lot of actresses you will see more and more of them wearing barrettes and hair accessories on the red carpet. Create your own red carpet look for the holidays by adding bling, jewels or pearls to your hair. They also make great gifts for your girlfriends and great stocking stuffers for your daughter. Anyone of any age can wear them.
stackable bracelet packs. Shoshana has created little packs with themes but she can customize whatever you need. I love these packs!!
stackable letter bracelets. Mothers can wear all their children’s names stacked together or perhaps you want to wear an inspirational saying 
These ones are by Roxane Assoulin who is a jewellery designer Shoshana follows. They are fun and playful. They are also affordable so you can feel free to stack away!
Bigger, bolder and oversize is how you want to buy them and wear them going forward. This is not a time to sit back and be shy, so when you spring forward you are going to want a strong chain necklace.
Oscar de la Renta was showing this on Spring runways. Personally I agree with Shoshana and everyone is going to ask you if you lost the other earring but if you love this trend, holiday season is definitely the time to test drive it. Just make sure that if you are only wearing 1 earring to a party to make a statement with that 1 earring! 
It should be as bold as you are!!
These are BR’s High-Rise Wide-Leg jean. The dark denim makes them wearable for a lot of occasions too! The are pairing it with this adorable chunky Pointelle Cropped Sweater 
and 
Sherpa Cocoon Coat. It’s accessorized with 
Essential leather Sneakers in Leopard Calf hair, 
their Leather convertible belt bag, which can be also worn as a shoulder bag and 
a classic fringe scarf. This is a great look if you are travelling to a colder destination. The Sherpa Cocoon coat will keep you super warm, the jeans you can wear over and over again, and same with the accessories. This way when you are going somewhere a bit cooler you have a few staples with you to make you more comfortable.
Start with a high-rise wide leg jean. You can also use the dark one above, but chances are we also have one in a lighter wash in our closets. Then add a colorful ribbed scoop-neck top, 
I like the idea of this one in Sour Cherry, giving a nod to the strong purple trend. 
Add a basic bootie, BR has this Everyday bootie in Pewter Suded, but any black bootie would work. 
And finish off with a Nylon Travel tote that can double as a beach bag and 
a great pair of shades. Then add the one piece that will tie this all together, 
BR’s Reviserible Wool-Blend Poncho, I love it because you get two in one, a black side and a grey side. Then you have a jacket and topper that can also be a blanket or something to throw on anytime. I use my poncho for travelling all the time, it works over coats to keep you warm and I have even used it as a blanket on airplanes.
,
a Graphic Sweater and 
a pair of leather sneakers. These all look great with the poncho on top too!
like these Cheyne Slides from L’Amour des Pieds at Nordstrom. You could wear both of these styles daytime or evening.
. This is Eileen Fisher’s Midi Tank dress from Nordstrom. You can wear it daytime with the flats or your runners and it can also be worn over your swim suit, and it can double as an evening look just by changing the shoes and accessories. 
Or you can choose a button down dress in an ivory or white like this dress from Sugar Lips. Again something that can be worn for anything by just changing shoes and accessories.
I love these slim wide leg cropped pants from BR but you could do joggers or skinny pants, whatever works for you.
Maybe one cute tiered Tee like this Louisa Tiered Tee from Anthropologie. 
Maybe a cute Puff-Sleeved Tee, also from Anthro. 
And a long sleeve white light weight shirt like Treasure & Bond’s Gauzy Tunic at Nordstrom, that can double as a swim wear cover up or you can tie it at the waist over your midi dress.
Maybe a cute pair of Chambray Joggers from Anthro,
or maybe a cute midi slip skirt in a daisy print from Madewell or even
The Sloan skinny fit washable pant from BR is a good compliment to a Wide leg pair of jeans. Black is a great color because you can dress it up or down.
BR has a soft ponte Ruffle dress that would travel wonderfully. It’s dressy enough for Xmas and NYE or dress it down with tights and booties too. Or if you prefer a longer dress try 
BR’s print shirt dress, it will look fabulous with the Sherpa cocoon coat and you can where it everywhere.
This Ivanna Mock neck sweater from Anthro comes in many color combinations but I love the black and white dot with the dark wide denim and skinny black pants. Then take it up a notch by bringing a 
sparkly sweater that can immediately dress everything up. This one is from Velvet by Graham & Spenser at Anthro. BR has them too.
This one is the one from Halogen at Nordstrom we have been talking about all Fall, you can also find them at Aritzia and other stores.
or take it up a notch with a great print 
or great fabric 
. Or you can go away from the shirt style and 
bring something like this Angela Velvet Blouse, it can be a dressy evening look with black pants or a fun daytime look with denim. And I always travel with a black cardigan 
. Something in wool or cashmere that will keep me warm and I can belt and layer. This is the Cashmere long sweater from BR.
Something like this Michael Kors small leather cross body that can be worn for dress or casual is a great option. Match all your jewellery to either silver or gold and you are all set.
adding a satin blouse like Banana Republic’s Washable Silk Split neck blouse. You could reinvent a blouse like this over and over, with dark denim, a suit or even with a dressy pant, 
is a little more celebratory. You may not be able to wear this blouse to work, unless you worked in a creative office and can wear it with a more casual pant. But a blouse like this would work so well with dark or black denim for a night out and would be fabulous with 
Flare Tuxedo pants from BR for any holiday party. Sparkle is a great way draw attention and look fabulous at any holiday event.
from Rebecca Taylor at Nordstrom. As you can see it looks great with denim, but it would also look equally great with black pants or a skirt to the office and with a 
lace pant or lace skirt for an evening out. These are the Gemini Lace Pant from Veronica Beard and you can find them at Nordstrom. I have a pair of lace pants I bought a few years ago at Ann Taylor and I pull them out every once in a while to elevate blouses and sweaters for a great look that isn’t super dressy.
Last week we talked about the Metallic cardigan sweater from BR, it also comes in Emerald green. I have the same sweater from BR from last year. This year I added 
the Metallic shell to wear as a twin set. I will wear this with my wide leg dark denim, black pants and skirts and even with my black lace pants. Either piece can be work seperately and you can dress the look down by wearing a t-shirt under the cardi or a white long sleeve cotton blouse under the shell, wearing the shell as a vest. Both pieces also come in Emerald green.
And I love this Vanessa Sequined sweater from Anthropologie. It comes in Oatmeal and Grey and I love the way the sequins are splattered across the top. Wear them with plaid bottoms or denim.
Modern Sloan Skinny Fit Velvet pants or 
the Hayden tapered Fit velvet pant. Try the tapered fit for a change, it’s a little fresher than a skinny pant.
that echos that bias cut midi skirt that is so popular right how. This is a very modern way to wear a velvet skirt. 
this Chantal feathered Maxi skirt for work or out in the evening. Or you could shine the day or night away in 
the Orleans Sequined midi skirt, wear this with a simple turtleck to dress it down.
, these would be fabulous dressed up with a velvet blazer!
and no puffer is better than the tna Super Puff by Aritzia, it could make a statement for you all season long. You wouldn’t need another piece. Or you could do the same with one piece of clothing. 
You could do the Modern Sloan fit Metallic plaid pants from Banana Republic and marry shine with plaid. You wouldn’t need to wear any other shiny piece. The same could work with a dress, 
this is the Zadi long sleeve dress by Ted Baker London.
Try a subtle shine in a top that you can wear for work, out in the evening or with your jeans. This is the Soft Satin Puff Sleeve top from Banana Republic and it comes in 5 colors that are all great to wear into the festive season. Or try a top like this Bristol Blouse from Anthropologie 
it comes in Regular, Petite and Plus so it will work for everyone and even though they call this color black, it’s more like a gun metal color that you could elevate for a holiday party or wear with denim and boots on the weekends. And you can do Shine on the bottom too, elevate your work look with a pair of pants
with cute flats and tuck in a long sleeve t-shirt. These pants would be fantastic if your office has a creative vibe. Or something that would be great for a weekend elevated look is 
Anthro’s Cobie shimmer turtleneck, this you could wear everywhere and would look fantastic with dark denim and brown boots.
Try and Boatneck shift dress that can take you from office to evening. 
Pick a shimmery top to wear with everything. Or go back to one of my staples in my closet 
a great shimmery cardigan. Or try the cardigan in an unexpected shimmer color
. And add underneath pieces to these to make a chic sweater set 
. You could even do a cotton turtleneck with a shimmer stripe, 
which would nod to the trend without actually having to wear it. 
And you can do a basic sweater in a metallic that comes in this warm shade or 
a gun metal color too!
this Lace Sleeved sweatshirt. Think how many times your are going out for a casual dinner but just want to elevate your jeans a bit, this top will do exactly that!
If you are a jeans person and have been looking for a pair of jeans you can wear out, try these by 7 For All Mankind at Anthro, they have a shimmer dot and are perfectly high rised.
Anthro has the Katerina Button down top that comes in 4 colors and all have a great shine to them. This way if you don’t want a lot of shine but love velvet (who doesn’t?) you can get the look without actually wearing it.
these faux leather wide leg pants can go to work, out for dinner of even wear them casually with a flat bootie. A great leather or faux leather jacket or coat can do the same thing. 
Try adding a look like a faux leather trench, it’s something you could wear all the time and it adds a bit of Shine to the everyday.
This is the Babaton Slip Skirt from Aritzia but you can find them everywhere. They come in all colors and fabrics and this would be a very easy way to add shine to your wardrobe.
This mini saddlebag from BR in gold or blue would be wearable all year. It would add shine very subtly. It’s super easy to add shine in your shoes, just pick a pair of patent 
mary janes from Anthro with a jewelled strap. Or how about a pair of gold tone loafers from Franco Sarto 
you can find those at Anthro too! And for those of you who love booties how about 
these silver Chelsea boots for a casual look or take it up a notch with 
these golden kitten heel ankle boots. All of the shoes above can be found at Anthro online.
