As the year is winding down and the holidays are approaching, you’ll soon be thinking about what to wear to your boyfriend’s Thanksgiving family dinner or the Christmas Ever party that is not ugly-sweater themed. Whether you’re into sequins and sparkles or a little black dress kind of gal, I’ve got you covered. Here are a few outfit ideas that will be sure to make you stand out this holiday season.

So we know that you’re going to get your grub on this Thanksgiving but you’ll still want to look super cute doing so. Incorporating warm tones, one option is this flowy dress paired with a cozy cardigan and brown boots.

Next is the classic, always reliable, cannot-go-wrong little black dress, LBD if you will. Because of the basic nature of the dress, there are countless ways that you can style it. For the colder nights, opt for a leather jacket and tights. This is ideal for a holiday work party.

For my sequins and sparkles girls, there are two options. If you’re looking for just a touch of sparkle, this is the look for you: a metallic peplum top paired with black skinnies and black pumps.

But if you’re into sparkle from head to toe, this sparkly bodcon dress was made for you!  Pair with tights and black booties and you’re good to go. This is perfect for a New Years Eve party.

If you’re looking to spice things up this holiday season, try a jumpsuit! The jumpsuit has become all the rage at the moment and one of the best parts about this number is how comfy it is. Your legs are covered for those cold winter nights and its super easy to throw on and go. Pair with some killer heels and you’ll be sure to turn some heads at that Christmas party coming up.

Lastly, there’s the Christmas day lounging outfit. Chances are you’ll be hanging out at home all day, but there’s nothing wrong with some festive loungewear. In case you decide to go out that day, a cute and comfy option is a flannel paired with some leggings and boots.

Deciding what to wear for every occasion can be a bit tough, so hopefully these options give you an idea of what you could be rocking this holiday season.

I grew up in Charleston, West Virginia. Growing up here I knew there was a possibility of going to West
Virginia University my entire life. Although I decided to start my college career at the University of Kentucky, those country roads led me back to WVU in the spring of my sophomore year. This was also the point when I decided to establish myself as a Broadcast Journalist student.

Since this point I have strived to become the best possible journalist I can be. I am currently working as a weekend reporter for WDTV-Channel 5 in Clarksburg, West Virginia. Prior to receiving this position, I worked as an intern with WCHS-tv/FOX11, in the summer of 2014, where I learned critical editing, interviewing, writing, and speaking skills. I worked closely with anchors, reporters, editors, directors, producers, and even the web team. Aside from the television industry, I am the Campus Correspondent for the West Virginia University Chapter of the online entertainment magazine, Her Campus. Another position I currently hold is the Social Media Chair of WVU’s Radio Television Digital News Association Chapter. In the Fall of 2012, I became a sister of the Alpha Phi Fraternity, in which I held the position of ‘Big Sister Chairman.’

My other passions include horse back riding, scuba diving, being outdoors, and running. I am very adventurous and I try to stay well rounded. My goal in life is to live life to the fullest and be the best possible version of myself.

My ultimate goal would be to earn a spot as a reporter/anchor for Fox News, New York. I plan to graduate in December of 2016 and look forward to my future.
