New Year's Eve Outfit

Here's an outfit I think would be fun for New Year's Eve or another night out!  It's a shimmery blouse but sequins would work too!  I paired it with a skater skirt with faux-leather accents, opaque tights, and black booties to create a long leg line.  I wore my favorite mini cross-body purse.  It adds a nice pop of color and holds everything you need and you can keep your hands free!  I also had a glamorous make-up look courtesy of my sister Anne!  We went with neutrals for my eyes and bold lips!  Check out the next post for more information and to enter our giveaway for the chance to win a $50 gift certificate!

Casual Christmas

 

Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!  We had a busy day, but with lots of time to relax. First, we had breakfast and church in the city, then brunch and visiting with Jon's family during the day, then dinner with mine.  I was treated to lots of nice presents this year!  Like these amazing boots from Jon's parents.  I also got a new hairdryer from my parents, a Soda Stream from my sister Theresa, and a laptop bag/purse from Jon.  I'm really glad to be off from work today for a chill day of errands, pampering, and more visiting.

Sweater:  BDG Animal Games, Urban Outfitters

Dressing Up for Christmas Eve

Merry Christmas!  This was my outfit last night for Christmas Eve.  It was a great night visiting with family and friends!  I decided to dress up a little bit in a jacquard skirt, red blouse, velvet blazer, and new ankle boots.  Today I'll be going more casual in my favorite Christmas sweater.

Outfit Details:

Top:  The Limited, old

Blazer:  The Limited, old

Skirt:  Jacquard skirt, Kohl's

Necklace:  Gold chain link, Kenneth Jay Lane

Shoes:  Sole Society Helena Booties

Shimmery Sweater, Velveteen Pants, and Ankle Boots

I wore this shimmery sweater with my green velveteen pants, my black scarf and new favorite ankle boots last night.  It felt festive, but not overly so.  I took these pictures before we went to my parents to celebrate my grandmom's 84th birthday party.  It was a fun start to the holidays!

I also did some planning with my sister Anne about a collaboration for later this week.  Check back for some makeup and outfit ideas and a giveaway!

Outfit Details:

Sweater:  Loft Lurex Jacquard Sweater

Pants:  LC Lauren Conrad Velveteen Pants, Kohl's, 2012 (last seen here)

Scarf:  Black Pashmina, Gift

Ankle Boots:  Sole Society Skylar (similar, Rag & Bone splurge)

Christmas Sweater Outfit for Decorating

 

Here's our Christmas tree!  We had the R&B/Pop Holiday station going on Pandora and our sparkling cinnamon Yankee candle burning away while we set up our tree and brought out the rest of our decorations.  We're planing to buy a tree skirt tomorrow and some hooks for our ornaments so our apartment will be all ready for my holiday brunch party on Sunday.  I felt like being festive so I brought out a sweater Jon had worn for our Christmas Sweater party a few years back.  We got it on Black Friday at Goodwill.  It's pretty funny the way the body of the sweater lines up with the sleeves so that the reindeer are running across the whole thing and the snowflakes go along the bottom.  (You can really see in the bottom pic!)  My first Christmas sweater of the season but not the last!  (I got another one from Urban Outfitters on Black Friday that is a tad bit more fashionable, haha.)

P.S. Love, Actually is on Netflix!

Outfit Details:
Sweater:  Christmas Sweater, Goodwill, 2010
Jeans:  Leigh Boyfriend Jeans, Hudson (so comfy!)
Shoes:  Angelina Buckle Loafer, Sole Society (new!)
