This season’s take on the holiday color palette can be summed up in two words. Next Level.

The rich, luxurious navy, emerald and oxblood jewel tones adorning Tanger’s retailer windows are the things that fashion social feeds are made of.

And just in time for the onset of holiday parties that you’re destined to make a fashionable appearance at.

What luck!! 😉

Before you step out to your first holiday party, I’ll let you in on a little secret and show you how to make the jewel tone look work for multiple parties with some pre-planning and investment in a only few great pieces!

Let’s dissect the look, shall we?

The Dress

It’s all about the dress. A great, jewel-toned, classic dress that makes you feel amazing and allows you to own the room.

Saks Fifth Avenue OFF 5TH | Eliza J Emerald Dress | $49.97

A timeless style, like this emerald dress from Saks Fifth Avenue OFF 5TH, is the foundation for your holiday party look(s) this season.

Added bonus, it’s sure to be a go-to fave in your closet so it’s completely worth the investment and will last you far beyond the holidays. Trust me on this one.

The Bag

Believe it or not, your handbag is one of the easiest ways to dress your look up or down.

This fun and flirty tassel clutch from Saks Fifth Avenue OFF 5TH has party written all over it.

Saks Fifth Avenue OFF 5TH | Rebecca Minkoff Black Clutch with Colored Tassels | $119.99

Mix and match handbags and styles that you already own for completely different looks throughout the season.

Dress up the look for more formal parties with a bag or clutch that has shine, sparkle or a great velvet texture.

Don’t be afraid to get creative with your looks and put those previously purchased bags to good use. They’ll thank you for it!

The Shoes

I’m all about mixing up the trends this year. (Notice a trend here?)

Metallics with jewel tones is one of my fave combos, so it’s no surprise that these beauties from Saks Fifth Avenue OFF 5TH will be a part of the holiday attire this season.

Saks Fifth Avenue OFF 5TH | Kenneth Cole Silver Snakeskin Heel | $64.99

And remember those amazing pumps from Saks Fifth Avenue OFF 5TH that helps make our Pantsuit Power Play?

Well, they’re helping me pull together another outfit for an office party later on!

The Accessories

The rich color of the dress will do most of the work, so finish your look with bold (yet amazingly simple) accessories.

Ann Taylor Factory Store | Maroon Tassel Earring | $29.99

J.Crew Factory | Gold Cuffs | $19.50

These oxblood tassel earrings and gold bangle (from my Thanksgiving plaid look) add the perfect finishing touches to party outfit number one.

If you shop for your first complete look and make it a priority to find great foundational pieces, then shop your closet for ways to change them out, you’ll strut through the holidays and watch your savings work for you!

While looking fab…obvi!
