It’s Petite Fashion Challenge time again! This time, the PFC is being hosted by Curls and Pearls. The challenge this time was:
“Create a holiday party look using festive colors and/or holiday pieces without looking like a greeting card.”
So…in case you didn’t notice…the theme I went with was holiday RED! This outfit is a little switcharoo from when I first wore this H&M lace skirt. Same concept, but I added tights, more red, and a little necklace that literally shines like a disco ball in the right light.
Does anyone remember that commercial where a sales associate is showing a woman a red washer and dryer, and he says, “I have a feeling you’re really going to like this one.” And then they pan out to show that the customer is a crazy woman dressed entirely in red, who is almost brought to tears at the sight of the red appliances? I kinda feel like that lady…

I sure do know that commercial lol. What pretty, delicate little red shoes! We don't see those very much : )
What elegant pops of red! Very festive but still chic. Well done as usual, Kelly!
I love that lace skirt…you look great!
hahahaha! I've never seen that commercial :P Red is absolutely the perfect colour for you – I was going to use the lace skirt too :P
Wow, I thought this was a repost! LOL It looks really similar to your last outfit, but I can see the differences now. : ) The lace skirt looks amazing on you with the red belt and shoes!

I love the delicate necklace and red shoes! Of course, the lace skirt is still one of my favorites :)
Still love your lace skirt very much. I went to H&M a few weeks ago to look for it. Couldn't find anything like it so I had to load your post on my iphone to show it to a sales lady working there. She had no clue if they had it or not. :( Oh well.
I love the Jimmy Choo!!!
I love this outfit especially your Burb trench. You always look so put together. I like the matching shoes and belt :)
I just love all iterations of this outfit, it's so classic and can probably be worn everywhere. I can never get sick of it. I like the sparkly necklace too!
I absolutely adore your outfit :) What a nice choice for holiday wear :) It's the skirt, tights and shoe combo that made me crazy! :) Love it!
HAHA I love that commercial :) And now I will think of you whenever I want to wear red (it is one of my favorites too!)
So glad you decided to go with the lace skirt – I was hoping you would! And I love the knit tights!! Although they do remind me of my days in Catholic elementary school… haha
Your trench!! I die. I actually love red coats but I have trouble finding one in the perfect shade. Yours looks perfect on you!
LOL! I totally remember that commercial you're talking about. Btw, your lace skirt is perfect with the red trench! And I love the red shoes and the knit tights. This is a gorgeous outfit =)
lol, it was a great commercial.
That lace skirt is certainly making its rounds! :) I love the red jacket and shoes as well.
So beautiful. And that jacket…. Ohhhhhh, that jacket!!!!!! :)
I love that commercial too! Lace is popular among some of the other petite participants (including myself) but I don't think it's a bad thing. It's looks great and I love your outfit! =)
Haha, I remember that commercial. And I can't blame you for relating because red suits you so well. I didn't know Burberry makes jackets in such bright colors, I'll have to check them out!
I absolutely adore your style. YOu nailed every outfit you posted! It's so chic,elegant and perfect for holiday!
i've never seen that commercial but it sounds hilarious. i love red for the holidays and this coat really adds a glamorous touch to the outfit! and what a beautiful ruffly top!

PetiteAsianGirl – I think those shoes were my first real designer shoes. They're super cute, but 4 inches, so they don't get much regular wear.
Vicky – LOL. I've opened blogs on my cell phone to show to sales people before too! Sorry you didn't find the skirt! I think it sold out pretty quick.
Erin – That commercial really stuck with me, since I'm such a crazy red fanatic…it pops in my mind a little too often. LOL. Hmmm…I knew my tights were school marm chic, but I didn't realize I had the Catholic schoolgirl thing going on too…=)
Em – Ahhh, yes, the perfect shade of red is hard to find. I have a BR short trench in what I now realize is an obnoxiously bright shade of red. I don't wear it very often. But the Burb. trench is a big muted, which makes it more wearable.
Cee – Yup, every now and then they'll have a trench in a few colors. The link I posted has two shades of reds, pink, and a purple!
You look gorgeous! Love seeing that trench!
Yes! I remember that commercial!
Did you watch your man Gunn on Conan last night? I caught a re-cap tonight. Conana wore jeggings on tonight's show after telling Gunn he would try it. :p
I love this entire look, and I think I want every single piece.

lol, I totally remember that commercial! your outfit works for the holidays with the red! I kind of want to see the whole outfit underneath the jacket, it looks like it'll be really pretty. As always I always love your shoes!
the tights look so comfortable and warm
What a funny commercial!! Lol Beautiful outfit, I love the red accent belt and your ruffly blouse looks like such a great fit! (It's hard to tell completly since it's under the jacket, but I'm judging by where the ruffles hit you.) Very cute!
So lovely… how can you go wrong with lace, ruffles, and burberry red! :)
Love it love it love it!
So so so perfect. Love the red trench.
Love the red trench, shoes, and belt. They look great with the rest of the outfit. Very festive and pretty!
