Holiday Challenge

I was pondering how to do a festive post for the holidays when I spotted a bowl of Christmas decorations.  They looked so shiny and colorful.  My creative mind spun around and I realized the decorations could be great props for a photoshoot.  Even better than props, they could be worn as jewelry!

In the pictures below, I use ornaments as earrings and garland as a necklace.

I propose you do your own holiday post with at least one holiday decoration incorporated into your outfit.  Are you up for the challenge?!

  2. Very festive! One year I wrapped myself in lights and plugged them in just in time for my mother's entrance after being out for the evening. I got yelled at!
    We don't decorate for Christmas anymore and I enjoy the freedom and the clean up is a breeze. ;)

  5. Um, those ornament earrings are freaking fabulous! :-) Unfortch we aren't decorating for the holidays this year. I got sick and we didn't get the house cleaned in time, which sucks because it would really make the holiday seem real to me. But it's nice to see what other people are doing! I love the idea of a garland necklace, too. :-)

  6. Hey folks -- just because you're not decorating your house doesn't mean you can't join this challenge. My garland necklace was $3 and the ornaments earrings were $4 (bought at Target). You can pick up something to wear for very little money.

  11. I LOVE how you used the Christmas bulbs as earrings, they look so cute! At work, we decorated the boutique with ornaments hung by gold & silver necklaces, festive and fashionable!

  13. How festive and love the red/gold/purple combo. I decorate my home with hats, so I guess that you could say I'm wearing the holidays daily. And I'm focusing on brilliant colors, so don't know if this meets the criteria!

  14. You look so pretty and totally embody the spirit of the holidays. Your top also has really nice draping/ruching around the neck.

    My Christmas ornament might be th' cat. We still havn't put out anything breakable. Fortunately, it looks like her poison is boxes :P

  15. Hubby and I just put up a tree last night. I've been so out of the holiday mood. Both sets of parents are gone. Siblings are out of state. Our kids are traveling afar. It's been a ho-hum season.

  18. You look gorgeous in your Christmas gear. That top is super sexy!!!

  19. Wow, I love these shots! The lighting and the color of the ornaments combined really make these work! Did you intend to light these differently or did it just happen?

  20. You are so creative. I would never have thought of doing something like this. Wow, now I have to do some serious thinking on how to accomplish this challenge.

  21. I like that you're rocking purple and red with such aplomb. And the garnet/berry hue of your top is definitely your color! I'll have to hit the drugstore's Christmas decoration aisle and see if I can get some inspiration. Reminds me of a Project Runway episode I saw recently - the challenge was to construct a clothing item from materials purchased from a Christmas store.

  22. That is awesome. I used to wear the bell ornaments on a necklace when I was younger, and the thick garland as a boa.

  23. You look gorgeous! Normally the Santa hat sort of makes me groan, but you pull it off beautifully.

  24. I have my own Christmas post coming well I've done one and have another coming up before the new year.

  25. Oh Ally, you look so adorable and festive with your Christmas decorations! I wish I was feeling more in the spirit this year, but I'm afraid I didn't even bother to dig out any lights for the front window. I'm glad you're here carrying the torch, at least!
