Party to Outfit

One of my favorite bits to write on the blog is the party to outfit posts which you can see here, here and even a guest post here. Celebrations and soirees are a constant inspiration for me not only for my own entertaining purposes but also for creating stylish ensembles. After-all a successful soiree starts off with a great color palette and is chock full of stylish details.  When I saw this fabulous fete for a 40th birthday party I knew I could use it for a sassy holiday outfit. I was totally smitten with the festive yet feminine color combinations the organizers chose and all those delicious details were executed perfectly! I used this image to create a not so typical holiday outfit that is girly but not over the top as the leather elements help keep the frilly in check. I also included some style steals for each item to help save some cash - fist pump for the bank account!
