Referencing the holiday song, “Silver Bells”, I made a slight alteration in the lyrics (for the sake of this blog post).  I often think of the season as a social time.  This means parties, and lots of them: festive parties for your company, intimate gatherings celebrating with friends, and every event in between.  And if you’re like me the inevitable question is, “what do I wear?”.

My favorite remedy to this question is vintage.  Most of us don’t get the opportunity to dress up like we do for the holidays.  Here’s a chance to wear that vibrant color or luxe fabric that you usually shy away from.  Think of this time as an excuse to get fancy.

I recently discovered the lovely site Delena Vintage.  They appreciate dresses from another era and highlight their finds.

This is a great time to indulge in sumptuous fabrics, like the red velvet shift above.

Finally if you’re more interested in just making your accessories holiday oriented, why not a vintage beaded clutch?  I particularly like the varying colors of stripes which you can coordinate with your outfit.delena vintage beaded purseWhatever you find yourself in this holiday season, I wish you joy and love!
