Thanksgiving is within sight, and at the end of this week I will be listening to Christmas carols at my children's school holiday fair. The season of giving, herewith, commences and this beaded shell top, with all its party-perfect shimmery beaded elegance, is inarguably a gift in and of itself, especially when paired with...

1. J.Crew beaded shell*, 
2. Etoile Isabel Marant boucle jacket,
3. Alexander Wang wrinkled leather satchel,
4. Diane Von Furstenberg ankle boots,
5. Topshop galactic-print trousers,

*To downplay this top's dressiness, try layering it over a black tissue-thin turtleneck (like this ) for an edgier look.
