Holiday Style Guide 2012: After-Christmas Sale Shopping!

While Santa and his crew of reindeer have yet to arrive up on the rooftop bearing gifts {and seeking a snack of fresh-baked cookies, hot chocolate, and, not to be forgotten, carrots}; in less than 72-hours, the presents will be unwrapped, we will all be attempting to recover from our food comas, and the hustle and bustle will be back in full-swing as we head out the door to hit the after-holiday sales that beckon to us bright and early year after year. Fatigue may be pushing us in the direction of sweatpants as we converge on half-price LBD’s and DVD’s, but so is not the way of the true fashionista. In the words of Karl Lagerfeld, “Sweatpants are a sign of defeat. You lost control of your life, so you bought some sweatpants.” Lagerfeld’s wise words in mind, avoid falling prey to unfashionable fodder with a cute, flirty, or luxe look that will keep you looking chic as you shop ‘til you drop!
