This, Not This: Vol. 14

How to Update your Holiday Looks

This, Not This: BLACK & WHITE

This slim-fitting silhouette with a peek-a-boo pop of color is so much sleeker and chicer than overpowering the look with too much fabric.

Style to Shop: Nelle Knit Dress $178.00

This, Not This: BUSTIER

Skip the lace-up sides and hardware and opt for a clean, simple piece with a square neckline.

Style to Shop: Bardot Corset Bustier $44.50

This, Not This: FEATHERS

Feathers are fun, but they can be hard to pull off. The trick: balance. A sleeveless feather-trimmed mini dress: too much. A long sleeve feather-trimmed mini dress: just right.

Style to Shop: Lamarque Bahira Mini Dress $375.00

This, Not This: PEARLS

Pearls should be used as a beautiful detail that make a statement, not an all-over embellishment.

This, Not This: FAUX FUR

When choosing a faux fur coat, try a style with a smaller touch of faux fur detail, like on the collar, or a cropped jacket that feels more old Hollywood than music festival.
