During the holiday season, we all are coming up with our perfect holiday party outfit. Sometimes green and red get old, so the next best color for a chic holiday look is gold. This gold skirt perfectly complements any of the traditional Christmas colors, but my favorite way to wear it is with all black. I love how this laid back dressy outfit looks and how it feels. Pairing a super chic skirt with a graphic tee is one of my favorite things to do, and it’s easy to do!
So I learned a new trick this past week, and it’s pretty freakin’ cool.
I was listening to the radio this past week, and they were talking about some life hacks they tried out. Now, life hacks are always pretty cool in my opinion, so I was intrigued. But what one of the hosts said next blew.my.mind.
So when I wear heels, I feel a ton of pain in my feet almost instantly. I can only last a max of maybe an hour in heels. I’ve always been like that way. But I love heels. And I want to be able to wear them all day! The trick that I learned (and tested out) is perfect for relieving pain when you wear heels!
All you have to do is take medical tape (or any soft tape that won’t pinch) and wrap your 3rd and 4th toes together. Then put on your heels and you can last all day! I wore my heels for 6 hours, and I could’ve gone longer!
So ladies… try this trick out and let me know if it works for you! It’s pretty life changing isn’t it?!?

I've always wanted a little black tee. Those shoes are to die for! So cute! I love this entire outfit, you're so adorable <3 <3
I'll have to try your trick with the tape. I can barely last 10 minutes in heels. I don't feel like it used to hurt as much when I was younger.. but it's almost unbearable now. Maybe I'm also not as used to it either. 🙂 Love the gold & black combo!
I love gold for the festive season. I think this outfit would be so lovely for Christmas Day. The skirt and the shoes are to die for, so stunning! Your style is fab 🙂
You cannot go wrong with black & gold. You totally rock that ootd! And the lip color complements the entire look.
I love this whole look! Love the shoes and skirt – you look amazing. Thanks for that shoe tip – totally trying that this holiday season. Hope I can find shoes as awesome as yours to try it out with!

Lauren, you look so adorable!! I love this look for the holidays, and your hair is absolutely perfect! 🙂
You look so glam and flirty! I love the skirt and the shoes, but your Little Black Tee made me laugh!
The entire outfit is great. I don't know how you wear heals like that for six hours. I would break my ankle after five minutes.
I love pairing a graphic tee with dressier pieces! Great look.

Now that's a fun look for parties. Not sure I could pull of the gold skirt, but a pair of sparkling shoes would pop a more modest outfit.
You show so much confidence in these pictures. It's awesome!

Love those gold heels!! Great idea about the tape, I must try it!
Those heels look really nice, you're beautiful in that outfit!
That is such a beautiful outfit! I like black and gold together, too.
I'm loving those shoes and how simple the outfit could have been until you spiced it up. I really do want those shoes though. You're beautiful by the way
your hair looks awesome — are you wearing extensions?? where are they from?
You definitely pull off that look! I really like the heels and the skirt. The graphic tee is something I would like to wear RIGHT NOW! Looking into ordering it!
I never wear metallic colors. Never. Wonder why that is? I should totally try wearing metallic colors more. It looks good on you. I'm going to try the tip about taping your toes together. I hardly ever wear heels either..
For one I love the shirt! It is so fun. Second, I'm loving the shoes. If I had a reason to get them, I totally would.
Thank you so much! I love these shoes! I got them on sale last year and I continue to wear them! Wearing sparkly shoes is an easy way to add sequins to an outfit!
You should wear metallics! They are really easy to wear when you pair them with solid colors!
Thanks Krystal! I love the shirt too! It's so fun to wear!
I do wear extensions! I have long hair naturally, but when I want extra volume, I pop in these bad boys! I wear the bellami extensions! They are 22in I believe and they are the new balayage kind! You should check out extensions!
Thank you Erica! I got these shoes at Anthro last year…so I think they are gone. But there are a TON of gold sequin shoes out right now!
Thank you so much!! xoxo
Thank you Sophie!! xoxo
You should definitely try it! And make sure you use medical tape (not scotch tape). Other tapes are uncomfortable!
Thank you so much Nicole!! xoxo
Thanks girl! This shirt is really funny! It's fun to pair it with jeans and flats too!
I couldn't wear heels longer than 10 minutes before I used the tape trick. You should try it out!
Thank you! It is so fun to do that!
You should totally try out the tape trick! IT totally works!
Thank you! I will check out your giveaway!
Thank you Shari!
Thank you so much! xoxo
Thank you Katie!! xoxo
