The holidays are coming. Which means now is your time to shimmer and shine. Or sparkle. Or glow. Whichever you prefer. So how do you add that holiday sparkle to your every day looks without looking like you’re heading to an evening holiday party?

Without sounding like I’m stating the obvious, add shiny jewelry.
Add a sparkling top with a bit of silver or gold threading in it to add that touch of shimmer to your look.
A touch of sequins will always do the trick!
Sparkle leggings or tights are a good option with an otherwise un-sparkly outfit. Added benefit, they’ll keep your legs warm if you’re wearing a dress or skirt.
A shimmering body lotion, bath wash or hair gel will also add subtle daylight sparkle in unexpected places.
Glitter accessories like shoes, purses, or belts can add just that touch of sparkle without going overboard into night time party mode.
Couture embellished sneakers or heels can also be a add a bit of zing to a day time outfit.
A reflective / metallic shirt or skirt will add a bit of pizzazz to a daytime office look. Or a dress if you break it up with a non-shiny blazer over top. A blazer or cardigan over the top is also a good way to take your day time holiday look to a night time one for a day when you are heading to a holiday affair right after work. Just ditch the top layer at the party and you’re good to go.
Bonus points for wearing sparkly nail polish.
It’s the holiday season, go ahead and shine!
