The Twelve Looks of Christmas - Look Seven | Texture

7th Day Collage

‘Tis the season for lush and shimmering fabrications.  At this time of year, fabrics become richer, more supple and tactile.  For Look Seven of the Twelve Looks of Christmas, I give to you, Texture!

I am obsessed with this top!  The sparkle.  The mesh overlay.  The textured sweatshirt sleeves.  And what you don’t see here, is the lace back with zipper detail!  It’s a great take on the sweatshirt trend we’ve been seeing this season, with a big emphasis on mixed media.

I feel like a winter sorceress in this look.  I love the shimmer of this fringed open cardigan.  It’s a great layering piece, and set against these faux snakeskin pants, it gives a more dressed up vibe to a black-on-black outfit.

I love layering different textures.  I think it gives a lot of depth to an outfit.  Here I’ve paired a jacquard skirt, with a soft tweed blazer, over this amazing velvet and sequin shell.  Each fabric is individual, but together they read as polished and sophisticated.

This is a statement dress!  It makes me feel powerful, especially with the padded shoulders.  It’s a fabulous dress.  The black comes to life with a sequin print against a shiny black velvet.  This is the perfect holiday look, that’s a unique take on the little black dress.  

Sequins, mesh and velvet, oh my!  This is the best time of year to play with texture in your looks, and I hope you found some inspiration from these outfits.  More looks coming soon!
