I know I'm a little late on this because I was busy with family and work, but I hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas! Here's the outfit I wore! 

I got this blanket sweater for Christmas and I love it! It's so so so warm! It'll be perfect for those cold winter days! My blanket sweater was the focus of my outfit I paired it with black leggings and a white long sleeved top. Even though you can't see it, I completed this outfit with my new ankle booties!

A Little Holiday Outfit Inspiration

Hey everyone! I'm going to be showing you two outfit ideas that would be great to wear on Christmas!

1)

 

This first outfit is an option if you love dressing up like I do! I always use the holidays as an excuse to dress up, I just love my skirts and dresses! I'm wearing a black short sleeved shirt, with a high waisted floral skirt and white cardigan and since it is cold where I'm from, I'm wearing some black tights too. You can't see my feet, but I would wear black ballet flats or black pumps with this outfit depending on what I feel like wearing. To bring out the red in my skirt, I wore a red statement necklace. This necklace was a total steal! I purchased it from the clearance section in Icing for only $4.00 when it was originally $12.00! 

There are actually tons of sales going on in many stores at my local mall and there are many to come after Christmas! If you have gift cards to spend or any extra money, definitely take a trip to the mall after Christmas. A lot of the sales then tend to be better deals than black friday! Who doesn't feel extremely proud when you score an amazing deal?! I have found really great deals in the past at Free People and JCPenney.

Shirt- Justice (since I work there)
Skirt and Cardigan- Forever 21
Tights- Target
Headband and Necklace- Icing

 

2)

An outfit like this is perfect if you're just staying at home with family on Christmas and want be comfy or if you're just not into the whole dressing up thing. I'm wearing an oversized high-low sweater from American Eagle with my fleece lined black leggings. I know I've mentioned this before, but these leggings are SO comfy and they were only $5.00 at TJ Maxx, HIGHLY recommend you go pick up a pair! Just incase you can't tell in the picture (I know it's not the best lighting), my sweater is an off white ivory color! I decided to wear this sweater because the chiffon trim makes it a little dressier than your average sweater. To stay festive, I paired the outfit with a red and black floral print infinity scarf. I feel like the scarf pulled the outfit together and added warmth! To complete the look, I wore my back ballet flats.

Sweater- American Eagle

Leggings- TJ Maxx

Scarf- Charlotte Russe

Ballet Flats- Macys 

P.S Don't forget your red lipstick with both outfits, it wouldn't be a holiday look without it!

How to Add a Little Sparkle to Your New Years Outfit

I know you're probably thinking, "What about Christmas, you skipped right over the holidays!" Don't worry, I'm working on a post about Christmas. I just made this on Polyvore the other day and I really wanted to share it! Plus, it's never too early to plan an outfit!

I think the first outfit on the left is a great choice for someone who wants to wear a little sparkle, but might be scared of looking too flashy or just not quite sure how to incorporate it. What I love about this dress is the glitter belt around the waist. This a great way to add sparkle without going full out. Adding sparkly accessories like shoes, headbands and jewelry to spice up your outfit for the New Years is perfect for people who are unsure on how to wear sparkles, but don't want to be looking dull all night. I thought sparkly heels would look really nice with this outfit and help bring out the sparkle in the dress. If you're not feeling that daring, nude heels would look great too! Another aspect of this dress I love is the long sleeves on it. It is perfect for winter, but the light weight material won't overheat you when you're dancing the night away! 

The second outfit in the middle is for all of our dramatic ladies out there! If you want to put the sparkles in full swing for the night, this outfit is for you! This dress will definitely make you the talk of the night! I paired it with a cropped leather jacket because I liked the edginess it added, plus mixing textures is very trendy right now! I thought this outfit would look nice with either black flats or pumps depending on your preference. I paired a sparkly headband with the look so your hair had a little excitement too! This outfit would not be complete without red lipstick for a pop of color! You gotta have that red lip classic thing that he likes. (I hope you get that reference!!) 

Lastly, for the third outfit, I put together a look that would be perfect if you're staying in with your girls!   While you're hanging out at home watching the ball drop, I'm sure you still want to look festive! I paired a sequin front cardigan with some comfy skinny jeans to make this a casual look. I added a red infinity scarf to tone down the cardigan and incorporate some holiday color. I thought this outfit would look really cute with ankle booties, these have been all the rage this year! I think the Covergirl smoochies tinted lip balm would be perfect for this outfit because it adds a little bit of color to your lips, but it's not as bold as a lipstick and it is super moisturizing! You can't forget to accessorize! Since the cardigan is so sparkly, I added some simple silver hoop earrings.
