I'll admit it, I've always loved dressing up and playing in my mothers closet and in her jewelry box.   Since I was young my favorite part of going to church and the holidays was the excuse to dress up - I know it's vain but it's who I am.

And I think many people partly love the holidays for that reason, we get to switch it up and have an excuse to bring out the finery.  Mind you, there were days, I guess mainly for the upper class that dressed up everyday - aka Downtown Abbey.  But now we have a very casual culture, people often wear jeans to the office!

This blog post is all about that - ways to style your jewelry and outfit ideas.  Most of these I can't even take credit for, they've been blogged or released by magazines but hey - I won't argue with that!

So are you prepared for all the holiday festivities? I hope so, and if you aren't a party person, at least dressing up your home is one way to celebrate.  I get so sad at the end of the year when I have to put away the decorations.  They do make me happy!

Thanks for reading and I hope you have a lovely weekend!
