Coast to Coast: Holiday Party Looks
Welcome to the new series “Coast to Coast: The Way We Wore”. Each month we will bring you our takes on a trend or item of clothing. The month of December is jam packed with festive events so to kick things off we’ll bringing you four fabulous holiday party looks. Whether you live in Cincinnati or San Diego, you are sure to find inspiration here.
Sheer black blouse / Red pants / Cap-toe heels / Revlon lipstick in “Certainly Red”
I finally found a pair of red pants! I have a really hard time finding pants that fit me because I’m really petite (short legs + a skinny waist + little hips= nothing fits). I usually have to shop in the junior’s or girl’s departments to find something and even that is a battle in itself. Luckily, I spotted these pants and they fit great! Since my quest for a burgundy pair failed, I’ve settled for this brighter red. It’s Christmasy, wintery, and I’m sure I can still wear them during all the other seasons, too. I decided to go with red & black- a classic combo. I’m thinking this may be my Christmas Eve outfit, but that could easily change. Instead of overloading on sparkly jewelry, I let the color of the pants and my lipstick take center stage.
Be sure to stop by Minted Glam, Lily Says Go and AshNFashn for the complete looks.
Rachel, those red pants are killer. They fit like a glove. Love your festive look so much. You simply look so beautiful with a red lipstick 🙂

This is a great outfit for the holiday season! The red lip is gorgeous on you. If you’re looking for more colored skinny jeans, I really love the fit of Old Navy’s Rockstar denim.
Oooh thanks for the recommendation! We are similar sizes (it seems) so that is SO helpful Sharon!
Those red pants are great! I think they’d be perfect for Christmas, but I can also see wearing them in the summer… maybe with a nautical look?
Exactly! I have a few shirts that I can already plan in my head. That’s how you know you made a good investment in colored pants haha
I love the red! I think you can definitely wear these year round, too. They could be dressed down with a chunky grey sweater + camel boots!
You read my mind Lauren!
