This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Mizzou chapter.

With the holiday season comes so many occasions to dress up for! YAY! As fun as this is, it can get expensive to buy so many outfits. I’m here to save your wallet and make sure you still look fab for all of your parties and gatherings this holiday season. You don’t need a full new outfit for each occasion; invest in a few pieces, and use those to elevate your clothing you already have! This is a great way to save money and just purchase a few items that you can wear all holiday season long. These three pieces are so versatile and will make any outfit look put together.
