Holiday Dazzle: Local fashion for the season | Life | Idaho Statesman

Bart Hendricks, Alyssa Troy and Brandi Simpson are out on the town for an after-work holiday party. Brandi’s red Betty Page dress ($140) is a great base for a sophisticated look from Belle Boutique. Add a bold, faux pearl necklace ($32), gold and faux pearl drop earrings ($16), both from Belle, and a gold wallet clutch ($28) from Style and Co. at Macy’s for a traffic-stopping holiday look. Alyssa is ready for a fun night in this silk dress with beaded embellishments from Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent ($345), found at Fancy Pants. Bart’s look has an attitude of relaxed elegance with this blue wool Ibiza two-way blazer ($295), with removable zipper-front quilted inlay. When you take out the inlay, you have a traditional three-button blazer from Alexander Davis. This combination blazer goes equally well with front panel slacks at the office and embellished jeans for a night out.
