Skip over that little black dress this holiday season, and gear up for your next holiday party with some sparkle and shine!

Going Out With the Office Crowd:

Michelle was wearing:

Dress: Elizabeth and James Aurora Dress available at Shopbop.com

Jacket: We got really lucky with this find — a Michael Kors jacket from T.J. Maxx. But thankfully, our design team also found this totally fabulous ADAM silver metallic ‘O’ cropped jacket at Bluefly.com.

Shoes: Lustra D’Orsay Pumps, Sigerson Morrison for Target

Hijab: Classic Wrap, Jones New York.

Style Tip: When putting together an outfit with basic colors like black and white, it’s best to add a small accessory with some color. It breaks up the pattern and adds that “something extra,” which really completes the look.

Michelle was wearing these earrings from the “Native Earth” collection, L’s Custom Jewelry.

For a Night Out With Friends:

Michelle was wearing:

Dress: Foley + Corninna Beaded Butterfly Boat Neck Dress available at Shopbop.com

Purse: Anya Hindmarch for Target, Small Flap Bag

Shoes: L.A.M.B. Hanah Open Toe Mary Jane Pump available at Shopbop.com

Hijab: Merona Wrap, Target

Style Tip: Don’t be afraid to add a few colored accessories to an outfit like this, just remember to leave your necklaces at home. Small earrings and a bracelet (or two) are most fitting here and avoiding a necklace will keep the outfit from looking too busy.

Designers at The Closet don’t mind turning to department stores, the Web, or even flea markets to find the perfect shoes and clothes, but when it comes to our accessories, we’re happiest working with local artists. That’s not to say we can’t find beautiful earrings at Bloomies, it’s just that we know how hard small business owners work, and we’re proud to support them.

Each piece of jewelry featured in today’s episode was handmade by L’s Custom Jewelry.

Sabrina’s Wardrobe:

I got my trousers from BCBG like two seasons, ago and I love them! Unfortunately, they don’t have them in white anymore, but they have the exact same style (in a darker color) here. (And they’re on sale!)
Every winter, I stock up on these turtlenecks from Nordstrom. They’re in the junior’s department, and for only $12 each, I usually pick up two or three. They’re great for layering under sweaters and dresses, or even under a top with three-quarter length sleeves, like the one I have on.
Speaking of, I grabbed that top off a rack at T.J. Maxx! Cute, huh?
My hijab is from H&M, my earrings are from a little shop at an airport I was at a few years ago, and the two red bracelets came out of a drawer while I was cleaning.
Sorry there’s no description on my shoes, I’m most comfortable filming barefoot.

XOXO
Sabrina
