November Marks My Festive Party Outfit Planning—These Are the Pieces I'm Eyeing
Sponsor Content Created With Nordstrom
The start of November means holiday season has officially begun, and while some are putting up their decorations, others, including me, are taking up an entirely different task: holiday party outfit planning. When it comes to planning for festive party looks, I always consider these helpful tips: Black is never a mundane choice, sequins are always welcome, and a splash of color doesn't hurt.
I've been feeling a little stunted in my outfit choices recently and decided to peruse Nordstrom's holiday curation for some inspiration. And boy did find it and then some. The red Staud mesh dress was first to go in my cart along with the Saint Laurent strap heels. I've already thought of multiple ways to wear the embellished gray knit cardigan from Cinq à Sept (spoiler: with the Ulla Johnson ruffled black midi skirt and silver sequin Cult Gaia bag). Keep scrolling for all the pieces I've added to my wish list below.
