It's hard to escape the holiday season taking over all five of our senses. I tend to ignore all the hype until after Halloween. I like to savor each holiday in order. Well, Halloween has come and gone and we are well into November. I guess it's time to acknowledge the fact that Thanksgiving is a little over two weeks away and I haven't even started my Christmas shopping. Breathe, Shanna, breathe.
It dawned on me, after I put it on, that this outfit I wore for date night last Friday would be a perfect holiday party style. Isn't it funny how subconsciously my mind was probably thinking holiday fun, but consciously focused on trying to get dressed up for a night out with Ross. This time of year can play serious tricks on our minds.
This mix of patterns, textures and fabrics would be great for an upcoming holiday event. The metallic pants from Wallis have just the right amount of subtle glam for an evening out. Add a red wool trench coat to stay warm and polished. Layer on a few statement pieces, your favorite pair of heels heels and you are set.
Luckily, we only have a few dressy holiday obligations this year. I can almost bet that this outfit will be on repeat at some point in the next month. It will be one less thing to stress about, plan for or purchase. Gotta love my subconscious mind helping me prepare in advance for the crazy weeks ahead.

I've been looking for a bright red coat for a long time and this one is a beautiful hue of red. You are so right, paired with the metallic pants, it couldn't be more perfect for a holiday party. Speaking of which, I need to start thinking of holiday outfits, not that I have a lot of parties to go to but it's always good to be prepared in case something comes up. ~Cynthia
No winter wardrobe can be complete without a bright red wool coat! I have a fire engine red one from 2 seasons ago and want a really tomato red for this year! JCrew had a good one but I'll wait for the sales to start;-) LOL! BTW, you are a hot babe in red! Hope you are having a wonderful day!

Those pants look so amazing! I'd had my eye on them, but I'm never sure how pants are going to fit so I played it safe with a sweater.
They are going to be the perfect holiday piece for when you aren't in the mood to throw on a dress.

Shanna you look stunning as usual. What a gorgeous look, and in love with the pants and that coat, OMG it is just perfect!
