Sparkles For The Holidays

I am back with another holiday outfit.  Last week Friday I shared a cozy warm yet elegant holiday look HERE.  This week I wanted to show a holiday look that was a bit more dressy and not quite as warm;  although you could add black tights or a patterned hose to this look if you didn't want to go bare legged.

I don't know about you, but I don't like to go out and buy all new clothes for a holiday party.  Most items are only worn once a year, so why not wear it again next year?  Who is going to remember what you wore anyway?  Thus, everything I have on is old.  But the good news is I was shopping at JCPenney last week and I saw this sweater!  They brought it back for the holidays!

The last time I showed you this sweater was in this post HERE.  For whatever reason,  that post was one of my most popular posts ever.  I can't figure out why because the pictures in that post were terrible due to bad  hotel lighting.  Maybe it got so many hits because people to wonder "What to Wear to a Casino". :)

 This is a classic holiday sweater, I can see why JCP brought it back for the holidays.  It comes in burgundy, blue, and white but only the white is available on-line.  However, I did see the other colors in the store.

This sweater is just a beautiful jewel toned color, and it is covered in sequins!  It also has a unique keyhole opening in the back with a ribbon tie closure.

I kept my jewelry simple because I had enough sparkle going on with the sweater.  I wore a simple velvet choker from Forever 21.

The choker has a simple blue rhinestone in the center which matches the color of my sweater.

I carried a vintage black velvet bags of my mother's.

I could have worn sparkly, open-toe heels, but I chose these black suede wedges because they are more practical for my climate.

I also went bare-legged for the photography shoot, but normally in winter I would have to wear panty hose (even though I know they are out) because being bare-legged in winter in our state isn't possible.

My skirt is actually a pencil skirt.  The last time I showed it to you was HERE.  The blue in the skirt was the exact color of blue in the sweater, so I was able to combine the two successfully.
