Holiday Party Styles For Less + Hostess Gift Guide

Happy Hump Day, friends! I hope your week is going well! We actually slipped off for a quick 2-night getaway for work, and the change of scenery and pace has been nice. Sometimes you just need a little shake-up from the normal routine to feel rejuvenated!

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but we might actually put our Christmas tree up this weekend! It’s earlier than ever, but why not!? I absolutely love sitting in the glow of the lights every evening, so let’s get this merry started! I’m so ready for all the excitement this holiday will bring, and can’t wait for any excuse to get dolled up!

But getting fancy doesn’t mean you have to spend a mint, or be uncomfortable! Some of my favorite styles for holiday are now available at Nordstrom Rack, and half off!


Whitney Satin Wrap Top | Similar White Jeans | Nude Pumps


Noel Bow Back Top | Kensington Skirt | Pointy Toe Pumps (Similar HERE)

Do these pieces look familiar? That’s because they’re some of our best-selling Hi Sugarplum styles from previous Holiday Collections… all restocked and at great price points! I love how they mix-and match to create new looks, from dressy to casual… and all super festive!

Pair the tops with a satin skirt or jogger for dressier styles perfect for parties, shows, and church… or with denim for easy night-out looks for the entire season.

Sugarplum Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS in everything.
