INSTANT OUTFIT: Doubling-Up

As requested.... "I have to go to my sister's church to see my nephew in a Christmas play this year, but afterwards we're going out to celebrate my sister's birthday. I need an outfit that can be appropriate for church and festive, but not look too stuffy going out. Can you help?"- Alicia, Society Girl

With all the festivities that are planned around this time of year, often you have to double up and go from one thing to the next. You may have a Christmas lunch at work and then a dinner party later in the evening.. what's a girl to do?

I suggest finding a dress or skirt with a great print and some pizzazz that will knock socks off for your dinner party, but to make it a little more "church or office appropriate" - layer the dress with a sweater tunic or dress. Keep your accessories sleek and chic - but interesting.

Either way you will be stunning!
