12 Days of Holiday Outfits: Day 8 – A Playful Twist on Sparkle and Color
Welcome to Day 8 of my 12 Days of Holiday Outfits! Today’s outfit is proof that fashion risks can pay off in the most festive way. If you’re looking to mix classic holiday sparkle with a trendy twist, this look might just inspire you.
The centerpiece of today’s outfit is a white long-sleeve sequin mini dress from Target. This dress is everything you want for the holidays—sparkly, chic, and effortlessly elegant. The clean white color makes the sequins stand out beautifully, giving the dress a timeless yet modern vibe. It’s perfect for a holiday party, New Year’s Eve, or any event where you want to shine.
But here’s where the fun starts: I decided to step out of my comfort zone and pair the dress with wine-colored tights. Burgundy and cabernet shades are the colors of the season, and adding them through tights creates such a playful yet sophisticated pop of color. It’s a little unexpected, but that’s what makes it so fun!
To finish the look, I added silver sparkly heels with a bow. The shoes add just the right amount of festive glamour while tying in beautifully with the shimmer of the dress. The mix of wine and silver feels fresh and festive, making this outfit stand out in the best way.
I’ll admit, I almost went with black tights and black heels to play it safe, but the wine-colored tights added such a unique touch. Fashion is all about experimenting and having fun, and this look feels like the perfect blend of classic and daring.
This outfit is ideal for a holiday party or a night out where you want to stand out while still looking chic and put-together. The mix of textures, sparkle, and color makes it a memorable look that’s surprisingly easy to recreate—especially with Target’s affordable finds!
Let me know in the comments if you’d try this bold combination. Are you a fan of colorful tights, or do you prefer to stick with classic black? Stay tuned for Day 9—it’s coming tomorrow, and I can’t wait to share another festive look with you!
