Merry Little Outfits

It's beginning to look a lot like Holiday party season...

At the Christmas party hop, mistletoe is hung for you to see and all of the stylish couples try to stop. One of the most festive times of the year is the entire month of December. With Hannukah, Christmas and New Year's Eve making an appearance on many calendars, shopping for the perfect outfit for the many different occasions could become as difficult a task as shopping for everyone on your list.

Blackbird Attic would like to make your shopping a little bit easier with outfit inspiration that won't break the bank.

For a cocktail Holiday party or a swanky NYE, this red H&M dress accessorized with a black camera necklace is the perfect addition to any party. 

Blackbird Attic, H&M Dress $6.95 (on sale). Camera necklace, $5.00.

If you want to look stylish at a low-key office Holiday party then the red sweater with pink and cream pencil skirt is the outfit to unwrap. The red rabbit fur scarf adds warmth both literally and figuratively.

H&M Red Turtleneck Sweater, $8. Red Rabbit Fir Scarf, $14. Old Navy low-waist pink and cream skirt, $12.50.

One can never go wrong with a classic LBD for any party, Holiday or otherwise. This Elie Tahari number is classic with a little bit of sexy rolled in that will have you ringing in the New Year with style!

Elie Tahari Black Dress, $34.99.

The best presents always come wrapped up in a bow, this is how I feel about this next Holiday outfit inspiration. The black leather skirt, Judy's vintage black turtleneck sweater are the presents and the Herve black and gold belt is the bow to complete it.

Herve black and gold belt, $6. Black leather skirt, $19. Judy's vintage black turtleneck sleeveless sweater, $24.99.

Happy Holidays and Happy Shopping!

The Vintage Fur Debate

Someone brought to my attention that it is unfortunate I sell fur (as seen in last blog). For being pescetarian and a huge animal lover, I wanted to think this through further. My first winter at the shop I had people asking if I would sell their vintage fur coats for them and I was pretty opposed to the idea. Somewhere along the way, I was brought smaller pieces with hints of vintage fur on them and got more used to them. I liked the idea of the item being re-used and not filling up a landfill, which would not seem to honor the animal who gave its life. That's why I have decided that if I do come across an item with vintage fur, I will donate a large percentage of the sale to an animal charity. Perhaps for every vintage fur sale, one less new fur will be purchased, and one day one can only hope, produced.
