Holiday Dress 2 Ways

 I can't believe Christmas is 10 days away. 

I'm so excited to share today's outfit with y'all. It's literally the perfect Christmas dress. (Or NYE dress.)

Since my stomach has started to grow, it can be a bit difficult to get dressed.

I knew I had a few events coming up where I would need to dress up and I wanted to make sure I was comfortable. When I saw this emerald green dress, I just had to have it. Since I already own it in another color I was able to try that on and figure out what size I would need. I was so happy when I realized I could order my regular size to wear now and then it would obviously fit me after baby as well. 

(I will say that this one is a good 4-6 inches shorter than the other color I own. Gotta love the inconsistency in brands.)

I decided to show you how I would style it 2 different ways.

One is more dressed up with fun heels and the other I paired with booties & tights for a bit more casual look.

I honestly love it both ways. 

Dress: Free People (more colors here) | Tights: Etsy | Booties: TJ Maxi (identical here) | Bag: Rebecca Minkoff | Earrings: Target | Lips: Ulta Automatic Lip Liner in Rosewood with Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipstick in Love Liberty on top | Heels: Lulus

Which option is your favorite? I honestly can't choose. I wore it with heels for J's work party and I might opt for the boots when I go to the Nutcracker with my mom this weekend. 

I mentioned above that it comes in a few color options. If you are still on the hunt for NYE I think the black or cream would be beautiful to ring in the new year! 

Shackets Continued

 If you followed me last Fall/Winter, you're probably aware that I love shackets.

You'll be glad to know that my love is still going strong this year since they are still a pretty big trend. 

I saw this particular one when I was browsing for Fall clothes a few months ago. I loved the length and the fact that it was a little oversized. It seemed like a great option for Florida winter. Once I got it in the mail I quickly realized why I loved it so much... I own pretty much the exact same shacket in a textured beige version from the same retailer. (#CreatureOfHabit over here.) 

Since it is so oversized I decided to keep things fitted on the bottom with some of my favorite faux leather leggings. If you like the look of Spanx, but not the price tag, then there are for you! They now come with an even more flattering waistband. (I'm honestly debating ordering a pair for next year when I don't have a bump.) 

Lastly I want to talk about this henley. It was one of the things at the top of my Nsale wishlist this year. I was so happy that I was able to snag it. I feel like it's really cute and can be dressed up a bit or worn with leggings and sneakers. I'm also loving it even more now that I'm pregnant. I'd actually like to find it in a couple other colors. I haven't had any luck though.

How's everyone feeling about holiday shopping? Are you done or still have some more to do? I have a few more gift guides I want to try and get together by the end of the week. I know shipping deadlines are coming up soon so after the middle of next week they probably won't be helpful. 

Dad Jeans

 As much as I like my skinny jeans, I love that other styles of denim are making a comeback.

I'm definitely loving all the 90's styles.

When I saw these, I had to add them to my cart immediately. 

I love the cut of the leg and that the button part has the slight cross-over. (I think that is so flattering and slimming.)

I also really love this bodysuit. Bodysuits are great for giving you a tucked in look with clean lines. The cutout is subtle, but gives it a little something extra. This one is no longer online, but it comes in a long sleeve version that is great now that it's getting colder. (I honestly shot this look probably 2 months ago.) 

This whole outfit reminds me of something my late elementary/early middle school self would have worn to the skating rink with all my friends on a Friday night. Obviously a little updated and appropriate for my age now.

I'm actually really sad because I only got to wear these jeans a few times before they got too tight with my little bump. 

Hopefully they will still be in style next Fall and I can promise you will catch me in them non stop.
