Velvet crush…

I’ve been loving velvet anything for quite some time now. The texture is timeless, luxurious, and expensive-looking. If you know you’ve got a velvet crush like I do, you can invest in velvet pieces. If you’re still on the fence about the look, you can opt for trendier pieces that won’t break the bank.

These velvet bordeaux booties from Stuart Weitzman are my favorite boots this season. They’re versatile and definitely holiday-appropriate. I’d pair them with this printed a-line skirt and opaque tights. The metallic threads throughout the skirt add a little bit of flair, and compliment my silver accessories from Dylanlex. I’m always in favor of sprucing up an outfit with some sparkle and shine. And what better time of year to do that than the holiday season?

I’d finish off this outfit with a simple black turtleneck and this classic moto jacket from Alice + Olivia. The detailed leather toughens up the otherwise-feminine ensemble. A dark-colored manicure or lip would really knock this look out of the park.
