As a lot as we like dressing up and going all out right here at TME, denims will endlessly be our favourite place to start out an outfit. Certain, I like my sequins, however there actually isn’t something higher than a great-fitting pair of denims. The appropriate pair could make you’re feeling fabulous. A great pair of denims can go from play dates so far night time, or from operating errands to brunching, however they’re truly additionally a superb selection for a vacation occasion.

They simply want somewhat zhuzh.

Enter: Assertion Items. In the case of a glamorous bag, an over-the-top excessive heel, or a glittery belt, I can rely on Saks Fifth Avenue for an outfit-making accent (…in addition to denims. Denims endlessly.)

I gown up distressed denim with outfit-making items like assertion sneakers or a wonderful bag. Particulars like feathers, sequins, and rhinestones are all honest recreation right here as a result of the denim retains the look grounded. End with a pop of colour and also you’ve taken your fundamental jeans-and-a-top combo to “The place the occasion at?” (Bonus factors if you understand the music.)

It All Begins With Good Denims

Begin with an ideal pair of denims, like these high-rise straight-leg denims from Body. They’re extremely comfy — the denim is delicate and stretchy and the match is good and relaxed with out being unfastened. I discovered them to be extra of a mid-rise (beneath my stomach button) and the 27″ size is ideal on my 5’4″ body — which is nice as a result of I LOVE that hemline!

These Magenta Occasion Heels Make The Outfit

And have you learnt what goes very well with feathers? Extra feathers. I’m obsessive about these fluffy magenta heels. They’re ridiculous in the very best approach doable: shiny feather poms, rhinestone buckles, and a flared heel (making them simpler to stroll in), these are just about the definition of assertion sneakers. Including these to something from denims and a tee to a flowery occasion gown completely makes the outfit.

The sequin cardigan I’m carrying right here is nearly offered out (I like the feathers on the sleeves!) however how lovely would these occasion heels be with this strapless high (omg extra feathers!) or this feather-trimmed blazer? Or each!? (Am I being overzealous right here??)

…And A Little Further Razzle Dazzle

This belt is such a enjoyable discover, too. It’s by Deepa Gurnani, a model that makes probably the most stunning hand-crafted equipment. I’m loving all of their belts at Saks proper now (particularly these crystal embellished belts in silver and lovely inexperienced.) I’m carrying a medium-large right here, and there’s loads of room for adjustment. This gold Rebecca Minkoff bag provides one other splash of festive vacation sparkle.
