MONDAY MUSING: BLACK TIE

Give your LBD a rest this holiday party season, and take a cue from these ladies who put their own twist on a perfectly tailored tuxedo.  Pair yours with a white blouse and bow tie like Alexa Chung for a playful look, go bare with a daring neckline like our favorite it- girl Jessica Hart, or make it a little edgy a la Cara Delevigne.  Any way is a  little unexpected, and completely charming .  These earrings or this necklace  would be the perfect accessory to any look.
