A Sparkly Holiday Outfit for Petites

Happy Thursday, Ladies! This holiday season, I am so excited about a fun and festive holiday outfit combo that’s both chic and cozy – a sequin skirt paired with a soft, oversized sweater! The sparkle of the sequins adds just the right touch of glamour, catching the light in all the right ways, while the sweater brings the perfect balance of warmth and comfort. I love the contrast between the playful shimmer of the skirt and the relaxed, cozy vibe of the sweater. 

A Sparkly Holiday Outfit for Petites

Sparkle + Cozy = Perfect Holiday Outfit

The neutral tones of the sweater allow the skirt to be the star of the show, and the relaxed fit ensures you’re both stylish and comfortable, whether you’re on a holiday date night or attending a holiday party. Pair with simple heels or ankle boots and minimal accessories to let the ensemble’s subtle elegance shine through. A look that feels both elevated and effortless-perfect for the holidays!

The lower hem of the chiffon lining on this skirt gives a slightly more relaxed look, while still being elevated with the sequins. I went for ribbed tights, for their warmth, but sheer tights would look fantastic! 

The skirt is not sold in petite sizes, I am wearing regular size 0 and the length is a little longer on me, but I prefer it that way, so it works out great for petites if you want something longer than a mini skirt.

Both my skirt and sweater are from J.Crew, which has a 60% off sale and a 40% off cashmere sale that ends tonight, so it’s a great time to shop for gifts or holiday outfits. Slightly oversized, yet cropped sweater styles are everywhere this year and I love the few that I have purchased from J.Crew for their comfort and timeless style.

Straight-forward Patent Leather Block Heels are a wardrobe staple. The perfect black heel that will dress up any outfit and pair beautifully with more dressy ensembles. My pair are from a year ago and are no longer available, but this pair from Macy’s is a close match.

I have shared this beaded clutch before, and the fact is it is no longer available. However, Anthropologie has a great selection of beaded bags that are great for adding that extra bit of glam and sparkle to any holiday outfit. Try this Beaded Clutch, I love how its neutral floral motif will pair with almost any outfit you can put together.
