Holiday Looks


Red and green aren't always prominent in my wardrobe (although, I'm trying to work on that!) so I always try to get my holiday outfits together early.  There always end up being last minute changes but I've gathered together some inspiration from items I already have (or Santa may be bringing) and I figured what good is sharing the details after the holiday in case others are still putting together their looks too.

Christmas Just the Two: Every year around between the 21st and the 23rd Derek and I have our own little Christmas with dinner and gift giving - I love this little tradition we're creating with a special time to focus on celebrating the holiday just the two of us. {scarf: here // red dress: here // booties: here}

Christmas Morning: For years my mom and I have done matching pajamas (my brother and I did when we were little) but in recent years even the whole family does them - it's one of my absolute most favorite parts of the day! {I couldn't find ours online but they are Macy's -  Charter Club for anyone looking.  The men's set is either charter club or polo but it matches exactly.  This set is pretty similar}.  

*My favorite christmas lights pajamas have come into stock in extra small if anyone is looking for that size.  I've also been eyeing this santa set for Christmas Eve morning breakfast.  This onsie would be great if that's the look you're going for (I've had it sitting in my cart for a bit because my husband does in fact have a red onsie and I thought one year it would be fun to match - still not fully sold!)*

Christmas Eve: My favorite day of the year! After an annual breakfast, some holiday baking, stuffing all the stockings - except mine and enjoying the hustle and bustle of the day I love getting dressed up for dinner out before our church service.  I cannot get enough plaid this year. {tartan dress: here}

Family Christmas Dinner: We always does a family Christmas dinner at Maggiano's each season and even though it's early in the season, it's still festive. {Tartan Shirt: here}

Christmas Party: Some years when it's an "on" year for the extended family we reserve a room and do a nice dinner out to add to the festivities or I might be thinking of this look for an holiday weekend away. {dress: here //  necklace: here}

Christmas Night:
Christmas night it's always tradition for our extended family to gather together - it's the best time and the night goes on and on.  {fur vest: sold out // banana red top: here // cheetah heels: here}

Linking up today with Jess, Amy & Alisha for Little Bits of Cheer and Katie, Pinky & Sara for Countdown to Christmas.

  9. Very cute and they would all look great on you! Except I have to say that I went to Catholic school my entire life so I'll never wear a plaid skirt or dress ever again haha. They are cute though! :-)

  10. Those are some great looks for Christmas but I am loving that green dress for a Christmas party! I wish I had one to dress up for but with no company Christmas party and a pretty laid back Christmas Eve/Day I don't have an excuse to buy a new dress!

  18. Love all of these ideas! I hardly have any red or green. Last year I did a red top with a fur vest... Loved that look and think it would be so cute to throw fur over a red or green dress this year!
