Dressing for the Holidays

Can you believe we are only a few days away from Christmas?!  Thankfully things are starting to slow down and I just have a few last-minute gifts to buy. I’ve done a few of my shopping done at my favorite local stores. I do love dressing for the holidays and this year I want to incorporate the metallic trend. The metallic trend has been going strong so why not end the year with the most popular trend? I decided to use a gold metallic skirt to create a holiday outfit. The gold metallic immediately glams up my outfit.

Styling a Gold Metallic Skirt

I knew that wearing a gold metallic skirt made such a statement so I wanted to tone down everything else. I figured I might as well be comfy so I paired it with my chunky red sweater. It is the same sweater I wore in San Francisco. I think the touch of red helped create a festive feel against the gold.

I also knew I just had to wear my favorite heels whenever I wear a holiday outfit. The plaid print on the kitty heels gives the outfit that special holiday touch. I feel like a holiday outfit can’t be complete without plaid! So I always try to incorporate these heels whenever I put together a holiday look.

I’ll admit this skirt makes me want to get the other colors. I’m highly considering getting thewine red or emerald green (the green skirt would look awesome with my velvet blazer!). Not sure if I have enough occasions to wear them, but I am now obsessed!

Sizing Of My Skirt

If you are curious about the sizing, it is one of those skirts that is ‘one size fits all’. I’ll admit that initially  I was hesitant to make the purchase. The ‘one size fits all’ usually don’t work out well. I find it impossible that every size and body type can fit into one size. However, I was pleased that it did fit well, and I do think it can fit multiple sizes. However, I will be honest, I don’t think it can accommodate ALL sizes. At most, maybe someone who is a size large.

For reference, for bottoms, I usually wear size small, size 2-4, or size 27. The waist has some decent stretch and can probably accommodate up to size 10. So I hope you find this helpful since I know ‘one size fits all’ can be iffy. I’ve purchased some in the past and no way did they ever fit.

What are your thoughts on metallic skirts?

    What a gorgeous holiday outfit!! I absolutely LOVE the metallic skirt. My hesitation with this one would be the “one size fits all” aspect, not the metallic colour. I’ve been trying to find a skirt like that, but haven’t found one that doesn’t make my hips look massive. I might have to check this one out!

    What a fun skirt! I love metallic accents around the holidays. I like this look because it would be casual enough for my office yet dressed up enough for a date with my boyfriend afterwards. The red is a nice, unexpected pairing.

    I think every piece you have on here is perfect for the Holiday season and I’d pair them together like you did. Such a girly, elegant and beautiful festive look. I actually own a similar gold pleated midi skirt and girlfriend I want a few more too in other colors. Tomorrow I am doing a special multi-blogger collaboration with dressy festive looks and another blogger also styled a pleated metallic midi skirt. Come take a peak and don’t forget to stop by Thursdays to linkup with me and share your gorgeous style, Rachel. Take care! <3 Ada.

    What a find! On Amazon! I love it. That’s for sure the cutest color choice, too! Along with the other two you have your eye one 🙂 I wonder how this would look on someone 5.5 months preggo? haha! I might have to wait and just admire how you style it! So super cute– especially with the red sweater, plaid shoes and gold earrings!
