Holiday dressing strategies tend to focus on herve leger dresses
For the next 12 days, we’re going to talk about easy ways herve leger 2013 to up the ante for the holidays — not just for parties but for every day. Let’s start with a simple strategy: Trade your basic tee for a washable silk shirt — maybe the one you’ve got hanging in the back of the closet that you’re always wanting to wear but never pull out because it’s just too much for a regular old Tuesday.
Sadly, I am coming up a little lot short in the holiday spirit department, and it’s starting to wear me out. I’ve been looking for a way to jump start my festive self, and I think I’ve come up with a possible solution: 12 days of wearing something super fun and out of the ordinary and just a wee bit festive. Because maybe then I’ll feel a little less crabby and a little more like celebrating.
Are you in?
Holiday dressing strategies tend to focus on what to wear herve leger celebrity dresses for parties and events, but most of us aren’t living the kind of life where we’re going to a cocktail party every night (which is kind of sad, really). We’re spending lots of time with our kids and spouses and — if we’re really fortunate — with dear friends and family. So why not dress up for that?
A silk shirt is, indeed, dressier than a tee, but it’s also more flexible than a button down, more feminine and less office-y. Dress your silk shirt down by pairing with jeans or skinny cords, and warm it up with a cozy cardigan. Keep the rest of your outfit casual — no pencil skirts or heels — and appropriate for whatever is on your schedule (kid party, shopping, gift wrapping).
And don’t ignore the washable part — dry cleaning herve leger essential dress can be daunting, but washable silk is super versatile. Hand wash in cold water and Woolite; line dry; wear often.

Everyone seems to think it’s a fun herve leger dress
Citizens of Winston-Salem shouldn't be alarmed on Saturday night if they see hundreds of costume-clad folks herve leger v neck making their way down Fourth Street.
The group will be participating in SantaCon, a second-annual event for Winston-Salem, but something that has been going on across the country — and around the world — for more than 15 years.
The rules? Dress like Santa or some other holiday-themed character — and the more out-of-the-box, the better — and spend from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. moving slowly down Fourth Street from bar to bar. In the true spirit of Santa, though, the event partners with The Salvation Army, and each participant is asked to bring at least one unwrapped toy to contribute.
Last year's SantaCon attracted about 400 participants, so organizer Steve Darling, who is a co-owner of a business called Creative Insanity Designs in Winston, said that he’s hoping for around 600 this year — especially considering the positive feedback following bcbg long dresses the 2011 SantaCon.
“I’ve seen people around town who have asked if I was the guy who did SantaCon and asked if we were going to do it again,” Darling said. “I haven’t heard anything negative. Everyone seems to think it’s a fun and cool thing to do.”
Catalina Stewart, a Winston-Salem resident, is looking forward to Saturday. She’s a two-time Greensboro SantaCon participant.
This is really exciting to me to see where all the Santas will end up and what kind of Christmas mischief we can get into!” Stewart, 27, said. “Winston-Salem is a more close-knit, down to Earth environment than Greensboro, so no matter where you go you will know someone, which I love. I feel that SantaCon will be amazing in Winston-Salem because who wouldn’t bcbg long dresses want to go have some holiday adult fun with friends dressed as Santa?”

Put different shapes on top of herve leger skirts
Put different shapes on top of skirts and pants, advises Kat Griffin, herve leger one shoulder founder and chief executive of the fashion and career advice blog Corporette.com. One day wear a fitted T-shirt, the next day a flowing blouse and the next a cardigan instead of a blazer, she says.
Men should have a few solid dress shirts, lots of ties and a couple of inexpensive V-neck sweaters to wear instead of a jacket, Ms. Brucker says. If you switch looks, no one is likely to notice if the shirt and pants are the same.
Is there a particular piece of clothing or accessory that’s essential for communicating that you are successful?
A. Ms. Levine says the best accessory is confidence. “When you’re in an interview and you feel really put together,” she says, “you come across as someone who knows what she’s doing.”
Ms. Brucker agrees. It doesn’t matter if your herve leger celebrity style outfit came from Goodwill — you need to feel fantastic in it. “If you believe in what you’re wearing,” she says, “I’ll believe it, too.”
This season's clothes aren't taking their cues from club kids, college students or teenage rebels. There's something grown-up about some of the most popular looks: They're a little refined and very wearable, but they avoid being stodgy or, worse, just plain old.
Some of the influence could be coming from pop culture, with "The Great Gatsby" and "Anna Karenina" among the most anticipated movies before year's end, and the popularity of TV period pieces such as "Downton Abbey," "Mad Men" and "Boardwalk Empire."
No flannel PJ bottoms or ripped jeans there.
Polished sophistication can be tempting after periods during the past decade that have alternately favored bohemian, aggressive and cheap bcbg dresses blingy looks.
