Susan Swimmer: This holiday season the news is color; black maybe classic, red is bold, but we're seeing a lot of nude beautiful sheer colors that are perfect on skin tones; gold, silver, winter white, even blush, mix them up for maximum effect. This holiday season, here are my quick tips. Always do a dress rehearsal, so you know you look your best when you're not in a rush, try your look standing up and sitting down to make sure nothing is hanging out and nothing is draping too low.

If those shoes are too high, put a pad in the front. Don't forget to wear smooth undergarments for the best sheekest sleekest look. And last but not least, don't forget a clutch ladies. Those work bags should be kept at home. If you're going to be holiday dressing, add a little sparkle under your arm with just the perfect size to tote. Use these tips to look and feel your best this holiday season.
