For holiday parties with friends and family, I like to look dressy yet still feel comfortable and casual. Sometimes I add glitzy jewelry to my outfits to dress them up, but when you have a lot of small children in the family, shiny jewelry is only good for being grabbed on and painfully tugged off. So to add children-friendly sparkle to my holiday ensembles, I look for outfits with built-in glam, like this Beaded Trapeze Tunic.

Balancing out shimmer and style, this casual tunic is fancy without being formal. The beaded scoop neckline draws all the attention. Brilliant beadwork catches the light and sparkles elegantly around your neck and shoulders. The material is gathered around the neckline, draping over your bust and flowing loosely over your body. Long sleeves are formfitting, but can still be rolled up out of your way. Overall the silhouette of this tunic works well for hiding trouble spots in your midsection. Since the outfit emphasizes your upper half, top-heavy women should either avoid this top completely or only buy darker colors.

Lush color options are fun and festive for the holiday season. Raspberry and Dark Turquoise are vivid shades full of whimsy and excitement. Although these colors are normally bright, the tone has been slightly muted for the winter season. Cadet Blue, similar to a royal navy, is a dark neutral shade that should mix and match easily. Black is always slimming, but it’s a bit dreary for holiday get-togethers.
