Maternity Christmas

 

Mango cardigan
dress
knit tight
heels
drop earrings

Well, I've a little extra time on my hands the last couple days since I've had sick kiddos at home.  Translated means I've had more time to put together outfit posts.  On the flip side my Christmas shopping isn't done, but at least I've had more time to post, right?!

This maternity outfit is a lot cuter than what I wore when I was pregnant during Christmas, back in the day.  I remember wearing black velvet bib overalls with a red blouse underneath.  Oh my, I thought I looked so cute.  

p.s. This dress would also be cute with leggings and boots underneath to dress it down a bit.

Fur is hot, hot, hot this season.  My clients are not always sure how to wear it, so here's a real modern, youthful way to wear a fur vest.  Just beware, a vest like this does add bulk to your frame, so it's not for every one, especially if you don't want to look like the abominable snowman! Although, the shorter length on this vest does help.  The knee socks are meant to be slouched down to look like leg warmers with these shorter moto boots. The light wash jean keeps the look super casual, and the plaid scarf adds that pinch of Christmas cheer.

I can't believe Christmas is only six days away.  I'm really behind the eight ball this year and don't even have a wraped gift under my tree (or my shopping done, for that matter!)  Well, I suppose there's no time like the present (get it?!) so I better get cracking! Happy Wednesday everyone!

A Little Sparkle

 

 Embellished Shoulder Pullover
pants
platform boots
gold clutch
gold bracelet watch
gold earrings

Who doesn't love a little, or a lot of sparkle for the holidays?!  If you have narrow shoulders  this would be a great look for you.  Beware if you have broad shoulders, emphasizing them with sequins will only make them appear broader.

Weekend Christmas Party

Are you looking forward to a weekend Christmas party, but have no idea what to wear?  Check out these great staples, which you may already have in your closet, to throw together for a festive look.  The best way to save some dough at Christmas is to shop in your own closet.  Have a merry weekend, everyone!

Cozy Christmas

high waisted skinny jeans
tan boots

white pearl earrings
leather belt

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas over in my neck of the woods, as the snow flurries floated down this morning.  It sure makes we want to crank up the Christmas tunes and slip into something nice and cozy, how about you? May this cozy outfit inspire you as you head out to finish up your shopping!
 

Festive for the Office

I love this office look because it is versatile enough to wear to work, to an after work party, and even after the holidays to add a little fun and sparkle to those long, dreary days of winter. Bonus - here's a way to wear a Peter Pan collar for those of us who don't quite have the body type to pull off the real deal. =)

Plus Size - Holidays

It's time to kick off a month full of holiday looks with this monochromatic plus size outfit. Can you believe this sweater is from Wal-Mart?! Score! The pieces in this outfit are all great wardrobe staples that can be worn many different ways.
