It's the middle of December and the holiday hustle and bustle is in full swing. Every year it tends to be the same story. How can you master that look that will take you from after-work cocktails with friends, to the work holiday party, and maybe even the not-to-be-missed afterparty after that? Nobody wants to haul around those heels in their purse or risk wrinkling their perfect cocktail dress.

1. The 5 Essentials your Holiday Look Needs
It's the middle of December and the holiday hustle and bustle is in full
swing. Every year it tends to be the same story. How can you master that
look that will take you from after-work cocktails with friends, to the work
holiday party, and maybe even the not-to-be-missed afterparty after that?
Nobody wants to haul around those heels in their purse or risk wrinkling
their perfect cocktail dress. Not to mention the time it takes to figure out
the right look to wear for each of these festive get-togethers.
That's why we've put together the top five essentials you need to perfect
your holiday look, without the hassle.
The Statement Clutch

Statement clutches are having a moment right now, so it's the perfect
opportunity to infuse a little wit into your wardrobe.
The Over the Knee Boot

2. A suede over the knee boot is a true winter essential. You can wear them to
funk up an ultra femme dress or simply pair them with denim and an
oversized sweater.
The Understated Earring

You don't need to wear sequins from head to toe to make a holiday
statement. Sometimes a little goes a long way. That's why these earrings
are the perfect addition to your look.
The Maxi Dress
L'Agence Long V Neck Flutter Dress
We love layering a maxi dress for winter-it's totally unexpected and
transitions beautifully into spring. Spending a little extra on an item that is
versatile allows you to get your money's worth. Being able to transition a
piece from season to season is crucial.
The Moto Jacket
Doma Leather Moto Jacket
The moto jacket has come to feel like a wardrobe staple but feels
surprisingly fresh in a rich jewel tone. It's perfect with everything from
flowing silk to boyfriend jeans.
All of these items can work together, be paired off or worn separately,
creating a versatile set of outfits for any occasion this season. And who
doesn't want to make life a little less stressful at this time of year? Now
you'll have a little more time in your schedule for the most important
things during the holidays – enjoying yourself with your family and friends.
