Holiday season has arrived and it seems like it's always a struggle to figure out what to wear to parties and festive get-togethers. I seem to wear the same outfit every year because I don't think about my wardrobe until it's too late. I'm not a big walk-around-the-mall shopper and I don't like trying things on at the store, so most of my shopping is online. I know it's a little crazy, but Walmart has really upped its game in the fashion department and they have some amazing holiday pieces that are all well under $50. Check out these 7 must-try holiday outfit ideas and see how fabulous Walmart's new holiday wear really is. No one will guess its from Walmart!

Marty's Black V-neck Dress

Scoop brand Midi V-neck flowy dress. Features smocked waist that is incredibly flattering for all body types, long smocked sleeves with ruffled cuffs, side-seam pockets (a must have), and is made of100% Polyester plissé that is machine washable. Beautiful for any evening event!

Styling ideas: wear with a sparkly heel, a magenta pashmina or chunky necklace to add to the holiday fun.

Tiffany's Blush Sequin Dress

Scoop brand midi-length sequin dress features a high-cut neckline, allover sequins (even in the back), contrasting crepe de Chine edges, chiffon piping, and fully lined with a soft polyester/spandex blend for the perfect fit.

Comes in black, red and blush colors.

Styling ideas: Dress it up with a pair of neutral heels and a fun clutch (see cute clutches on our recent Hive Hunt blog). Or, dress it down with a jean jacket and tennis shoes for a festive casual look.

Trish's Tuxedo Jumpsuit

Scoop brand Tuxedo Jumpsuit features a fitted bodice with wide leg pant, notched lapel collar, double-breasted button front, pintuck seams and satin trim. Comfortable and elegant for any dressy occassion.

Styling ideas: Pair with a hint of red (purse/clutch, shoe, earrings) or a fun glittery shoe to add a little holiday pizazz.

Tiffany's Satin Slip Dress

Scoop brand slip dress features a figure-skimming, bias cut silhouette with a cowl neckline and flowing skirt. The shimmery olive color is beautiful on any skin tone and the satin is super soft and comfy.

Styling ideas: Go dressy with heels and gold jewelry. Or, for a more business-like look, pair with a black or cream colored blazer and boots/booties. For a full-on casual-comfy vibe, wear with a chunky sweater and tennis shoes.

Trish's V-neck Tank Top

Scoop brand v-neck tank top features sleek satin crafted with a hint of stretch and v-neck styling in the front and back. It fits beautifully in all the right areas and comes in white, black and red.

Styling ideas: Pair with the black satin pants Trish tried on (below) for a sleek and festive look. For a little more sophistication, wear with black leather pants or a black leather pencil skirt. Or, to dress it down, wear with jeans and a sweater or cropped jacket. This little number will go with everything!!

Trish's Satin Pants

Scoop brand wide leg satin pants feature a removable sash belt with a d-ring buckle, snap button closure with zipper fly, two front slit pockets, and two back patch pockets (because we all need more pockets). They are machine washable and come in "grape leaf" green and black.

Styling ideas: Pair with a plain or graphic t-shirt and cropped jacked for a relaxed, hip feel. Or, wear with a glittery or satin top (like Trish tried on) and heels for a more formal affair. Like the red tank above, these pants will go with everything!

Marty's Flowy Floral Dress

Scoop brand ruffle mini dress features a v-neckline with ruffle, smocking and tie closure. It also has an elasticized waist with coordinating smocking and soft shirring. It is long sleeved, fully lined and has a tiered, flirty hem. It comes in black, olive green and red floral (reads pinkish-maroon). This dress would be great for a lunch, shower or any fun daytime get-together.

Styling ideas: Wear with boots and a coordinating short jacket for a warmer, more casual look or wear with a neutral heel and matching clutch for a dressy occasion. If this bold pattern isn't your vibe, the black version is a bit more subdued and would be perfect for day or evening events.
