Holiday Outfit Idea: Skater Skirt + Fur Vest + Peter Pan Collar Necklace

Tis the season for holiday parties with family, friends, and colleagues.  It is easy to run out of dresses and outfit ideas with so many events to attend, so today I want to share with you one way to dress up some existing closet pieces for the holidays.  Today's outfit is a variation of an ensemble that I wore earlier this season to a supplier holiday appreciation event at our office.  The bright red skirt, booties, and lips are a color that is always in style, but especially festive during the holidays.  This simple grey sweater is plain on its own, but I added a gold and crystal peter pan collar necklace to take it up a notch.  This necklace plus the fur vest, metallic clutch, and gold accessories glam up a basic outfit and make it party-perfect.  Mixing existing pieces like these create an outfit that is perfect for a work or casual holiday event without impacting your holiday gift budget.
