Winter is basically here, believe it or not, which means the holidays (and all the events that come with them) are sneaking up on us fast. Since we all can't afford a new outfit for each endeavor, look no further than a closet staple that will guide you through the season: stylish tops. Our favorite item to shop for, an amazing top can create a mood, make a statement, boost confidence, and so much more.
Specifically, we can't help but daydream about pretty holiday tops—hello satin and velvet. Holiday parties are a time for shining bright and getting in the spirit with tops that won’t go unnoticed. Forget the ugly sweater and go with a put-together pieces that'll last season after season.
