These Stylish Nordstrom Picks Are Perfect for the Holiday Season

It's the most wonderful time of the year, well, almost! With Thanksgiving just around the corner and the December rush only a few short weeks away, we're so excited to finish off 2018 in style, which of course means we need to go shopping. With holiday party invitations slowly starting to trickle into our inboxes, there's no time like the present to start thinking about festive pieces to carry Us through the season. For example, we can never say no to a bit of velvet, nor have we found a sequin minidress that we haven't immediately added to our shopping carts. Whether you have office parties on the brain, or are using a holiday dinner to introduce a new beau to your folks, we found the best pieces to wear until that ball drops and beyond. Keep scrolling for our favorite goodies to pick up from Nordstrom for the upcoming holiday season!

For dinner parties when you want to look casual, but cute: A peplum knit sweater

There's nothing worse than heading to a dinner party or a brunch where you know you'll be munching on whatever your heart desires, only to realize the clothes you're wearing are way too constricting to allow you to actually enjoy yourself. Short of wearing sweatpants, what can you do?

This stylish Ted Baker knit is the answer. It's festive and chic, but the peplum hem is what really steals the show. It's just long enough to cover the waistband of our pants (should we choose to undo the top button — no shame!) and gives Us plenty of room so our stomachs don't feel constricted even if we choose to go for seconds.

For days when you need a shoe that can go from desk to drinks: A strap pump

For days we know we're going to have to make our outfit do double-duty, we like to opt for a great pump. The key is a modest heel (think no more than four inches) and an otherwise sleek shape. They need to be walkable, yet styish, plus versatile to the boot.

This Vince Camuto pump is the epitome of just that. It has a stunning notched vamp and a dainty ankle strap, plus a shiny leather that comes in three hues, ranging from a darling dark teal, a deep plum and a classic black. Shoppers who purchased the style noted just how comfortable this particular pair is (as are all Vince Camuto shoes).

For the times when you need to make a statement: A faux fur cape

If there's one way to ensure that all eyes are on Us, it's to wear a cape. Better yet, a faux fur cape. Layer it over a plain black sweater or a fitted mididress and you have an outfit that won't only look stylish, but that will also keep you warm.

We love this Haologen faux fur cape for that very reason. It comes in two versatile shades — grey and black — and is made for easy draping. The super soft faux fur will look stunning paired with a turtleneck and skinny jeans.

For an office holiday party: A velvet sheath dress

Office holiday parties always creep into our calendars once December hits and we have to admit, they're one of the trickiest occassions to dress for. Our outfits have to be festive, yet work-appropriate, stylish, yet not revealing, and professional without being dull. 

If you ask Us, the best way to approach the style conundrum is by investing in a chic velvet dress and luckily, we found just the one. This Eliza J Sheath is curve-hugging and flattering. The gathering at the waist lends some definition and provides a cinching effect, plus the three-quarter length sleeves are the perfect way to show off a new bangle or watch. The style comes in four festive velvet shades, ranging from a deep emerald green to a pretty rose, as well as a burdundy and navy.

Reviewers dig the dress as much as we do! Many noted how beautiful and well-made the sleek number is, plus how flattering the style looks on.

For a dressy holiday get-together: A sequin minidress

Every year, we're always invited to inevitably one party where we know we have to dress to really impress. Whether we know our crush will be attending, or if we know we'll be running into an ex, we want to make sure that not only do we look and feel good, but that our outfit is the center of attention (in the best way, of course).

This sequin minidress does just that. It's embellished with bronze sequins that appear like they're dancing if they catch the light, so we know all eyes will be on Us. The plunging neckline and figure-hugging fit are flirty, yet sleek. Multiple reviewers noted that not only did they love how the dress contours to their bodies, but that it's the perfect mix of sexy and classy. Some even wore it on New Year's Eve!
