Velvet and Pearls for All the Girls + Combatting Holiday Blues

If there’s one trend you should greet with open arms this season, let it be velvet everything. I had a few velvet Christmas dresses growing up so it feels like a full circle moment to see it make such a big comeback. It only seemed right to snag this bodysuit as it combines some of the hottest trends right now: velvet, kimonos, and bodysuits. The pearl button detail adds a fun embellishment that can be dressed up or down too. I’m also discussing holiday blues and some ways to deal with the overwhelming feelings that often pop up this time of year.
