SILVER AND GOLD

" Silver and gold, silver and gold, everyone wishes for silver and gold" are the opening lines of a Christmas song I remember from my childhood. I also recall the silver disco balls and the Solid Gold Dancers from my misspent youth. These two metallic shades have become synonymous with glitz and glamour dressing. Whether you go all in with silver or gold, the results are that metallic fashion statements stand out and shine bright.

2022 is quickly drawing to a close, and one of the biggest trends that have come out of the post-pandemic times is " look at me fashion." Remember, one of my mottos is "Why fit in when you were born to stand out." The flash of metal always draws attention and is a hot trend for now and going into 2023. While you may not want that head-to-toe metallic look, silver and gold can come into your wardrobe in various ways.

SILVER AND GOLD

Staying on trend does not mean buying a new wardrobe every season. Since we all are making strides towards sustainable fashion, one way is to add pieces to your wardrobe that you love and have longevity. Silver and gold are classics and can inspire your looks in many ways. Perhaps shoes are your thing, nothing sings more than metallic shoes. An exciting look can be achieved through one piece being metallic and paired with your wardrobe staples. Sometimes all you need to be on a trend is the right bag. You get the idea right, a flash of glitz and glamour will not only see you shine but will take you through the holiday season on-trend. From gorgeous glittery dresses to shiny everyday pieces to everything in between, here are my favorite metallic items to wear when you want to razzle dazzle 'em.
