Christmas is just around the corner and I already have a couple of Christmas dinners lined up in the next couple of days which means, I need to get me a couple of new stuff fit for each occasion. If there is one thing I learned from my previous experiences about holiday outfit shopping, it is to never buy something that you would only wear once. Take it from someone who would always grab the first five sequined pieces she sees only to wear them once that year, and then shelved the next 2-3 years. Trust me, I still have 4 sequined clothes from 2010 that are still neatly stored in boxes. I've never taken them out since and my heart bleeds for all the what-ifs and should-haves.
But then again, we're not here to talk about this trivial heartbreak. We're here to talk about the 5 Holiday Outfit Ideas I found while shopping at The Metro Store.
Whether you're going to a costume party, a color-themed family gathering or just a simple dinner with friends, The Metro Store has it all. From cocktail dresses, to semi-formal separates, to the more casual and laidback jeans and top ensemble, everything you would ever need this holiday season you will definitely find at the Ladies Department, 2F of Metro Gaisano Ayala.
So here are my
5 Holiday Outfit Ideas from The Metro Store
ONE. I am all for easy breezy tita-ish outfits these days and this loose knitted top and lace circle skirt pair is a sure win for me! It is simple yet classy (we're always aiming for this one, yes?), can be worn from day to night (just change your shoes!) and with the pieces you can easily incorporate in your wardrobe. MACO top P599.75 | MACO skirt P599.00
TWO. When an invitation tells you to wear a cocktail dress and the island girl in you wants to wear Summer to a Christmas dinner, you of course look for something that's dinner appropriate with a subtle hint of island vibe. What better way to do that than with an off-the-shoulder trumpet dress in red palm prints that screams Summer in December? Win-win situation, yes? BLACKSHEEP DRESS P899.75
THREE. For a color themed dinner (a favorite activity we Cebu Fashion Bloggers do), you can opt for a solid color top in your required color plus a complementing midi skirt. Wear it with heels for dinner, pointy flats for lunch, or a pair of sneakers for coffee. Formal, casual, and young & fresh respectively. The possibilities are endless! Mustard color dress worn as a top (forgot the brand and price!) | MACO electric pleats skirt P699.00
FOUR. If you want to bare a little skin, why not opt for a plunging white top paired with a good-fitting gaucho pants? Sexy yet classy.
Gaucho pants may look intimidating to some but it is actually very versatile, like any pair of wide-leg pants, and can be worn year round too! The pants were an instant hit to me because WIDE-LEG, CROPPED, and HIGH-WAIST. This is so me, and even if my husband talked me out of buying it, I still did get it because a girl can never really have too many good-fitting gaucho pants! Wrap top I forgot the brand and price :( | Avenue Gaucho Pants P799.00
FIVE. If you're more on the younger, edgier, all-black-is-my-middle-name end of the spectrum, a military bomber jacket is a perfect accent piece to your all-black look. That, and a shimmery tank top to add a more festive vibe to your ensemble. MACO tank top and Metro Bomber Jacket I forgot the prices | Avenue pants P399.00
Bonus look: My wardrobe is never without a good pair of linen pants and this MACO straight cut linen pants that sells for P899.00 is, by far, the best linen pants I have to date. It's mid-rise, perfect length, perfect fit around the hips, and is made of good quality linen (don't ask me why, I just know haha!) Actually, this is me channeling my mom because it is from her that I got my love for all things linen-- linen pants especially. To make this look Christmas dinner appropriate, pair it with a glittery knitted top (L/S or S/L) and wear it untucked for a more relaxed look. Metro knitted top P499.00
