Christmas Day Looks

This year for Christmas, we spent the day with our immediate family at our parents’ house.  We had a fun and relaxing day spent eating, opening presents, and just spending time together.  One of our favorite things about Christmas now is seeing how excited our niece and nephew (who are 2 and 4) get about Christmas and opening presents!  As far as our outfits went for Christmas this year, we ended up coordinating our outfits as you can see.  Velvet is really in right now and Red Dress Boutique had pieces that were perfect for Christmas without being over the top.  Our looks were completed with over the knee boots from Hope’s that came literally just in time for Christmas.  We love that these boots don’t have a big heel like so many over the knee boots do.  These boots are super comfortable and were also under $40!  Check out the rest of our outfit details below:

Christmas Eve OOTD

On Christmas Eve our family has a couple traditions that we do every year.  We always attend a Christmas Eve church service, which is one of our favorite church services of the year.  After we get back from church, we eat a simple meal together that doesn’t require too much prep (lately it’s been lasagna-yum), and then we watch A Christmas Story.  We love these simple traditions because we get to spend them with our family, which is one of the best things about the holiday season!  Here’s our looks from Christmas Eve:

I always look forward to picking out the perfect outfit for Christmas Eve. I wanted this year to tie in Christmas colors so I went with a red portofino shirt from Express. If you haven’t ever gotten a portofino shirt before I definitely recommend them. They are great for so many occasions. Plus right now is a great time to buy them because Express is 50% off everything!  I knew I wanted to wear a skirt with this shirt so I decided on my herringbone skirt from J. Crew. Since I was going to church and wanted to be dressier I decided to break out my classic black Dior purse.

I ordered this dress recently from Red Dress Boutique and got it just in time to wear it on Christmas Eve.   I really love the dusty plum color of it!  I don’t have any clothing items that are this color, and I really like how this color looks with my skin and hair.  I decided to wear this J. Crew Factory statement necklace with it, along with booties to make this look dressier.   I love that this dress can be dressed up or down, depending on what kind of look your going for!

Stay tuned for our Christmas day outfit of the day post coming up in a few days!

What woman wouldn’t love to get a nice perfume for Christmas?  One of our favorite perfumes is the Elizabeth and James Nirvana Black.

If you know anyone who loves makeup, a makeup palette would be the perfect gift!  There are so many great limited edition palettes and value sets out for the holiday season at Sephora, Ulta, and department stores!

Scarf
Scarves are a great accessory to add to any outfit.  This scarf from Joe Fresh is even reversible so you basically get two scarves in one!

Bose Speaker
We love the color of this Bose speaker and how small it is!  A speaker like this would be easy and convenient to take on the go.

A bath or body set would be a great gift for pretty much anyone.  Who doesn’t like to relax and take a bubble bath?  Lush and Philosophy always have great gift sets this time of year!

For my top three pins this week are all great options to wear for the holidays! 1) I love how this blanket scarf is tied! This outfit looks cute but still comfortable. 2) This red skirt is so cute and I like how it is paired with a striped shirt. The shoes are also adorable! 3) LOVE this outfit! This outfit is so preppy and is perfect for the holidays.

Michelle’s Picks

1) This sweater is perfect to wear during the holiday season! I love the color of it and how simple, yet festive it is!  2) I love scarves and I love monograms.  I’m not sure why I don’t have a monogrammed scarf like this yet! 3) This outfit is perfection, minus the shoes.  Those I don’t care for.  The rest of the outfit, however, I love!  This outfit is a great classy look!
