Despite the decidedly glam bent holiday trends are taking, I’m still a big (HUGE) fan of denim. And with all of the glitzy accoutrements available for the chic party-goer, denim is the perfect foil for those of us who like their style with a heavy dose of insouciance. (C’est moi.)
So I’ve been messing around, trying to figure out a fresh (and perhaps even exciting? Can we hope?) way to wear denim this holiday season.
Well. I think I found it.

I mean seriously: what could be easier? If you break it down, the formula is simply Cozy Sweater + Comfy Jeans + Statement Shoes + Chandelier Earrings
It’s the perfect combination of cozy and glam. (And I’m especially loving the chandelier earrings – they feel so unexpected and fresh, right?)
So given that inspiration, here’s the two different ways I’m interpreting this trend (hint: I’m warming it up – I have an idea for snow-covered streets, as well as some recommendations for big earrings that will still be safe from grabby little hands).
Glitter Pumps + Destroyed Denim + Lots of Cuff
This is my fav. The simple sweater is a perfect backdrop for stunning earrings, and the button-down shirt adds a polished element to the outfit and offsets the crazy distressing. (I love big cuffs peeking out from under a sweater – it almost feels like bracelets.)

But S, you say, I’m always cold!! There’s no way I’ll be sporting glitter pumps again until June!
I hear ya. And so I offer up option two….
