Color me festive: Holiday clothes for less

Looking for ways to save this season? Look no further than your current wardrobe. Instead of stocking up on new holiday outfits, simply dress up the clothes you already own.

Nothing says merry like a splash of color.

Pair a basic, black top with a string of bold baubles for a fresh, flirty look. No need to spend a fortune to look bejeweled. Just head to an accessory store at your local mall and you’re bound to find beads a-plenty in every color of the rainbow.

For a classic look, dress up a crisp, clean white button down shirt with a fun, festive scarf. Sound pricy? Not necessarily. While silk and cashmere can be costly, microfiber is easy on the wallet, a breeze to wash and soft to the touch.

Spruce up your favorite little black dress with patterned tights. And don’t be afraid to re-wear that new microfiber wrap. Another item you can re-wear over and over again is a stylish pair of red party shoes!
