Mixing Textures For The Perfect Holiday Looks

Here’s a guide for how to mix interesting velvet and sequin pieces into your holiday outfits.

When Catherine and I were planning for this shoot, for once we were super organized. We planned out at least four looks as we wanted to maximize our time in the studio space! Cath had the idea of us each choosing a stand out piece and building two different looks with it. She chose the sequin top and I chose the velvet dress as both felt super festive for the holidays!!

While both of these pieces are sold out, we wanted to encourage you guys to create some interesting looks this holiday season by layering and pairing unlikely items together to make fun ‘fits.

For Cath’s first look she paired her sequin top with layered jean shorts and tights, which is a truth Cathclaire classic. I never think to do this but its a great look on her! or my first look. I layered a mesh turtleneck and the Spanx faux leather leggings under my velvet swing dress and topped it off with some chunky boots. This was the last look to come together the morning of the shoot for me and ended up being my favorite! For her second, she paired the sequin top with a black denim skirt with fringe. We got a little carried away with the lights in the photos for the second look so our outfits kinda got lost in the shuffle, but it was worth it!

For Catherine’s second look, she paired the sequin top with a black denim skirt with fringe. We got a little carried away with the lights in the photos for the second look so our outfits kinda got lost in the shuffle, but it was worth it! My second look was simply the dress with a blazer dress over it and heels. Not everyyyy look with a statement piece has to be funky. We love being able to show you guys who to style different pieces in both an EXTRA way and a “normal” way.

SO, let’s help you build a look!
