Christmas Attire

Turtleneck: Gap // Skirt: Kate Spade // Shoes: Charles David // Clutch: Banana Republic // Pearls: Tiffany and Co.

Christmas is finally here!!! Since Christmas Day falls on a Sunday this year, that means I will be attending two church services and will need a nice outfit for Christmas Day as well as Christmas Eve. I will be wearing this plaid mid length skirt and turtle neck for Christmas Eve. Last year I saw this plaid mid length skirt at Kate Spade, and fell in love but they were completely sold out in my size. A few weeks ago I was in the Kate Spade outlet at Allen Premium Outlets, and saw this skirt on a mannequin. I shamelessly had the employees take apart the mannequin, because I knew I had the perfect black turtleneck and pumps to pair it with in my closet. I am wearing a 0 in the skirt, and it is still a little large in the waist, so I recommend trying size smaller than you would normally wear. I paired the skirt with a basic black turtleneck from Gap (wearing a small), my favorite black leather pumps from Charles David (wearing a 8) and a long strand of pearls.

Dress: J.Crew // Jacket: J.Crew // Shoes: Charles David // Clutch: Elements Dallas // Pearls: Tiffany and Co.

On Christmas Day I will be wearing this deep red dress and a black tweed blazer from J.Crew. I purchased this dress for a wedding earlier in December, but because it is short sleeved I add a tweed jacket for Christmas. I love the fit of this classic tweed jacket, it is easy to move in and the length hits my arms and waist perfectly. I also love the detail of the pimping, pockets and gold buttons. If you like matching sets there is also a tweed pencil skirt that matches this jacket. I am wearing a 0 both the dress and jacket, the jacket fits true to size but the dress is a little snug through the hips so I would recommend going a size up. I also paired this look with my favorite black pumps, a gold and black clutch from Elements Dallas, and a short strand of pearls. Hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and blessed 2017! xoxo
