If you need some last minute Christmas party outfit inspo, you’ve come to the right place. I’m going full glam in today’s post showcasing a few of my favorite elements for a chic holiday look.

Emerald, fur, luxe gold details, black accessories, and a pop of red – these are a few of my favorite things! This outfit revolved around this vintage fur capelet that my mom gave to me, since it’s such a statement piece. I knew it belonged with a rich emerald color, so this flirty little minidress from StyleDwell was absolutely perfect. Best part? It has sassy little side cutouts (#sideboob) that can be seamlessly covered with the capelet if you’re around mixed company, but show just the right amount of skin when it’s party time.

As for accessories, I went with simple black heels and a not-so-simple black Taxidermy clutch that went along with the vintage vibe of this outfit beautifully. To top it off, some delicate gold bangles, a few midi rings, and last but certainly not least (and possibly my favorite piece that Candy Shop Vintage has ever created), the gold elephant necklace. The look wouldn’t be complete without a little pop of red, so I went with a crimson lip to really get in the holiday spirit. Oh, and the present helped a little too.
