Christmas Day Outfit Inspiration

Merry Christmas Eve!!

I cannot believe the big day is almost here! This year has flown by so quickly! What are your plans today? Are you relaxing and spending time with family/friends or are you running around like crazy picking up last minute gifts & wrapping them all?? We are definitely doing the second one. haha Every year I swear to myself that I am going to shop early and wrap things a week ahead of time. I'll be sure to let you know if that ever happens. 

If you are super busy today and don't have time to plan an outfit for tomorrow I've got you covered. You probably have similar pieces in your closet or you could always pick up the exact pieces while you're out running around. haha 

I have been wearing this plain non stop since I picked it up in November. It just screams Christmas to me. I am also OBSESSED with this vest. It's the perfect color and goes with everything. You can wear it well into January and February too! I would also highly suggest the Spanx leggings. These will help you look slim while eating an entire plate of Christmas cookies. (No judgement!) Top it off with a beanie to keep your ears warm while going from house to house. (If that's how your family does Christmas.)

Top: Old Navy | Vest: Target (similar here & here coat version here) | Leggings: Spanx | Booties: JustFab (JustFab is a subscription site. Similar here, here, & LOVE these) | Beanie: C.C. | Sunnies: Old (similar here & here) | Lipstick: Sephora Cream Lip Stain Liquid Lipstick in Always Red 

I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and enjoy spending this time with loved ones! I also want to take this time to tell you I truly appreciate each and every one of you that visit the blog. I love putting posts together, trying new products, and finding deals & steals that you can wear over and over again. 

Christmas Plaid

Here we are one week away from the big day! I literally cannot believe Christmas is in exactly one week! If you're anything like me, you still have lots of activities left on your Christmas to-do list. (We still have the lights in St. Augustine, lights in Jax Beach, some shopping & our Christmas party!)

Today's outfit is great for any Christmas adventures you still have on your agenda. 

I love the layered look with this sweater. The sleeves are slightly cropped so the plaid peeks out perfectly! Can we also talk about how perfect this plaid is? I picked it up early last month and I have not been able to stop wearing it this holiday season!

Sweater: H&M old (similar here, here & here) | Plaid: Old Navy | Denim: Topshop | Boots: Sam Edelman | Purse: Kate Spade old (similar here & here) | Sunnies: Lulu's sold out (similar here) | Lipstick: Sephora Cream Lip Stain Liquid Lipstick in Always Red

What do you have left to do before December 25th? As you can see above, I still have lots to do and not a lot of time! I hope y'all have a great week and come back on Thursday for a fun giveaway! 

Holiday Cocktail Attire

The holidays are officially in full swing, which also means holiday parties are in full swing! The best part about holiday parties in my opinion is getting to dress up. Break out those sequins that have been sitting in your closet since New Year’s Eve last year. Dust off that cocktail dress you love but never have an excuse to wear. Put on that red lipstick you only wear on the occasional date night. I mean, heck, hrow on a sequin blazer over your cocktail dress with a red lip!! Whatever it may be I love getting a little more dressed up than usual for all the holiday gatherings! Last week we had J’s company Christmas Party, which was casino themed and cocktail attire. I panicked a little because I honestly don’t have that many nice dresses. He also sprang it on me VERY last minute. Luckily my friend rescued me and let me shop her closet. I picked out this LBD that is perfect for any holiday party you may be attending. The silhouette is super flattering and I love the little bit of lace at the bottom. Since it’s black you have a blank canvas for shoes, jewelry, makeup and coats. As you can see I paired mine with red lips and my favorite leopard coat. Total statement piece!!

I’ve linked this dress and a couple other pieces I think would be perfect for holiday parties. (I decided not to link any sequin pieces just yet. I’ll save all those bad boys for my NYE post.)

Dress: Lulu's (also love this, this, this, this & this) | Jacket: Old (very similar here, here, here & here) | Shoes: Steve Madden | Sunnies: Sonix old (similar here) | Lipstick: Sephora Cream Lip Stain Liquid Lipstick in Always Red

Have y’all been to any holiday parties yet? If so, what did you wear? I’d love to hear all about it in the comments.
