Elie Saab for the Holidays / pre-fall 2018

This is the most Beautiful collection 
- especially for the holidays -
that I have seen in a long time.

My suggestions for what to wear certain items 
with instead of what they are styled here with are included.


Elie Saab - pf 2018
- with hosiery & Mary Janes




Elie Saab - pf 2018
Embroidered, tiered, sheer full skirt w/ a belt !
with daintier shoes for xmas




Fur Vest + lace & crocheted long skirt
This looks about right the way it is for holiday dinner -
I would just add a sheer long-sleeved top or stretch mesh bolero underneath.





Fur pom-pom skirt
Knee-high boots are good - not slouchy ones though.



Beautiful. Gorgeous. Stunning!!





Love the holster-style vest-belt & cinched waist in a blazer.
Not into motorcycle jackets but love Fringe for the holidays.





All of these full skirts are perfect for Christmas dinner, I feel.
Love pattern/detailing near the hem




Beaded collars + cuffs is so great.





This large-panel leather 'fringe' long skirt is great.
Love the sheer layered camisoles as well, maybe for New Years' parties.





Long, sheer Poncho w/ black edging!!
Sequined slacks underneath!!




A sheer, beaded, belted skirt with
2 different shoe and top options.








An all-sequined Black outfit - a western-disco feel

Fresh Christmas Fashion



I feel this is the time for starting a new kind of Christmas in terms of what we wear to family dinners & New Year's Eve. It seems almost obvious to revert to the same old metallics & sequins. I'm thinking of taking the season's palette (reds, white, greens, even gold) but let print & texture replace shine, rather than doing shiny & sparkly all over again (In my opinion people should be wearing those things for evening/special occasions year round so we don't have to load up in December).
