Holiday party season is approaching and it can be difficult to find the perfect dress for your party. Once you start shopping it might seem that every store has the same dress, your size might be gone already or any number of other things can make you frustrated. Well, think outside the box ladies for your Holiday party dress.

Danea came across a website that has some beautiful gowns for great prices; Light in the Box. You can filter for Holiday dress, your color, length, sleeve length and many other options. Let me show you a few that caught my eye.

Holiday gowns

 

They’ve got some sparkle and some shine to them; I love these all. Seriously ladies there are pages and pages and pages of beautiful holiday party dresses. They even have some stunning plus size dresses.

Since it is an online store, and purchasing a dress (or anything really) from an online store can be a bit nerve wrecking, I would recommend following their sizing guides for each individual dress and ordering soon! Especially with items coming from overseas it can take a bit of time.
If the idea of finding your dress online makes you a bit nervous, head to your nearest TJ Maxx. I’m serious! Look at some of the dresses I found online for their stores.

And if a long dress is more your choice, they have you covered there as well.

Yeah, seriously; all those dresses from TJ Max.
What style dress do you prefer for a Holiday party? Do you have a party through your work? One with friends? Family? Where are you wearing your gorgeous holiday party dress to?!!

Caption: Eek! Guess who’s burning a door for the new studio?

The top corner shows the natural wood, a light #cedar. I did some #hammering, #shaving and #sanding to add an #aged look.
Can’t wait to get this finished and hung!

Have I every fully shared my love of Target with you guys? It’s hard not to love this store. There is one thing I don’t love about it, that being how damn easy it is to spend money and end up leaving the store with things that you don’t need. Any way, today I want to share some items you can find at your local Target. There are so many things but I’m gonna focus on boots and lingerie today. A stunning combo, right?!

Booties are again hot this fall, and there are so many stunning pairs out there. These are of course some of my favorite pairs that I found while browsing.

Target booties

 

I love these! The ability to fold and unfold them can give your outfit a completely different look. And just think, you only have to pay for one pair of shoes!
Target booties

 

The grey color of this pair is beautiful, and I love that they don’t have a super high heel. Ankle boots are a great type of bootie.
Target wedge booties

 

If you like wearing wedges then this bootie might be the one for you. The side zipper makes them easy so slip on and the wedge gives it a cute look.
The last few pairs I found are great options too. This is just a small sampling of what they carry ladies. And there are so many more options online.
Maybe you’re looking for a heeled bootie; something to dress up a look. These are two fantastic options.
Target heeled booties

 

I love the buckle around the pair on the left; it just gives the boot a little more detail. Now if you don’t like that look, then maybe the boot on the right is the one for you. A small heel and a great color.
Ok, totally shifting gears but let’s touch on some more “indoor” type items. This is a Boudoir business after all, right?!
Don’t knock Target out for some sexy lingerie ladies, no matter what your size. They carry plus size items although it seems to be available online only. Let me show you some plus size pieces they have.
Target plus size lingerie

 

They have some gorgeous chemises, and some fantastic looking bras. Panties to match too!
Target lingerie

 

Some non plus size lingerie I found online is a gorgeous cut out chemise. I love the detail! A fantastic bra with great shoulder detail, and an amazing teddy. I’ve seen the teddy in person at the store ladies and it is beautiful. The price is great too at $22!
Do you wear booties ladies? What’s your favorite pair? Love some lingerie I posted? What’s your favorite? What’s your best clothing or footwear you’ve found at Target?

Layering is a great look for winter, and a great piece for layering is a plaid shirt. It can be very versatile with many different looks you can achieve. This is one of those pieces that I’ve always thought looked good on other people, but not sure about how it would look on me. I’ve got to say though that after researching for today’s blog post, I am so buying one cuz I think I can pull it off now! Let me show you a few ways to style your plaid shirt.

Plaid Shirt

 

A beautiful colored plaid shirt looks great paired with a vest over top, jeans, and some ankle boots. I’m sure almost all of us have these pieces to pull this carefree look off. Oh and I love the addition of that wrap bracelet! Making those is my new hobby.
Plaid Shirt For Fall

 

I love this look! The plaid shirt paired with the corduroy skirt, a jean jacket and cowboy boots is fantastic. I am really loving those boots and I really love how the colors of the plaid shirt compliment the colors in the boots. For the winter look you could always add a pair of tights under your skirt.
Colored Jeans & Plaid Shirt

 

You could always wear your plaid shirt over a sweater with some beautiful colored jeans. I feel colored jeans are a hard item to pull off, but this look does it fantastic.
Fall Day: Flannel Shirt & Cable Knit Sweater

 

I love the idea of pairing a plaid shirt with a beautiful cable knit sweater. The collar will peak out the top and the bottom of the shirt will hang a little lower than the sweater; I can picture myself in it now.
A last look, because I could go on and share tons of photos today, is a more casual look but gives you a great idea of how you can layer your plaid shirt.
Casual with plaid shirt

 

First I love the shoes, because I’m more about comfort than how I look (not that I don’t want to look nice!). A plaid shirt, with a sweater over (like we talked about above) but even adding a jacket over that for those especially cold days. Paired with a great distressed jean you’ll pull off the ultimate put together but casual look.
So tell me, do you own a plaid shirt? What’s your favorite way to wear it? Have I given you a new angle today on how to style it? I hope so!
