Merry Maxis and Minis

Maxi skirts with double splits or sheer fabric have that extra coverage but are still revealing. Rich red and green velveteen is a seasonal favorite, as is a gold leaf pattern with a glittery finish.

Go the other direction in a mini skirt with a metallic ruby or emerald tone. A high waisted, a line cut is hot this winter.

Platform Over the Knee Boots

A pair of thigh high boots in metallic, velvet or glitter is a gift in of itself. Layer them over tights and thigh high stockings. Another option is platform heels with socks.

Icy Statement Earrings

Waterfall-like, rhinestone chandelier earrings are appearing in designer lines this time of the year. Since they are made out of the same materials these versions make more sense than the $500 ones.

Festive Furry Coats

You don’t want to end up like the little match girl so bring a jacket. Stay warm with a coat that has a faux fur collar. The feminine style is super sexy, especially when layered over a bulky sweater.
