I popped into my nearest Urban Outfitters store this weekend on a whim, drawn in by the cheerful window displays. UO can sometimes be a dreary place but it was bustling and upbeat, holiday gifts were out and lots of sparkly holiday party outfits on display - great for styling inspiration. The uniform seems to be a girly blouse, dress shorts or a skirt topped with an oversized open-front cardigan sweater, tights and boots (heels for evening). Mix and match to suit your taste. I picked up some fingerless gloves and a supersoft layering tee. I might go back for some ironic stocking stuffers (love that stuff!), greige nail polish, lace tights, cloche hat, fur shrug, sequin jacket and shiny statement necklace...wouldn't that be dreamy?

More photo inspiration after the jump!
