What's all the fuss about holiday fashions? No-fuss ideas are what’s needed to help ease holiday dressing anxiety.

We've all gotten the idea of using the black flowy palazzo-type pant for holiday or for evening. We know that we can wear an all-black outfit to the office, kick off our flats or low heels and replace them with stiletto pumps, a small black shoulder bag, and we're off to our holiday function.

What can we do that's fresh and new? Let's look at the same black outfit we talked about earlier. Transform this daywear to elegant holiday wear by adding a colorful jacket with pearl necklace and earrings. Another option is to remove the colorful jacket and expand on jewelry options to brighten and splash on holiday fun. Diamond or dramatic gold necklaces, earrings, bracelets and pins add glitz to any plain ensemble.

Accessories with rhinestones or fine leather with gold clasps bedazzle the best of us. Beaded or satin pumps and handbags, even silver or gold shoes, are still in for Special occasions. Look for jackets or tops that have bold cuffs, colorful scarves (especially red or glitter) add sparkle to an outfit.
