Hey, y'all :) I hope your day is going/was fantabulous!
For
my first blog post, I thought I'd share what I wore to my work's
Christmas party! The best thing is it was appropriate for church in the
morning as well! I hate going through multiple outfits during the day
for different events. So, I always try to find an outfit I can wear for
everything or one that I just have to switch up a few pieces. I love
this outfit because it gives off the winter-y feel without being decked
out in all green and red (not that that wouldn't be fun, buttttt...)
Disclaimer: I am not way a model therefore these pictures will be slightly awkward posing. Enjoy! :)
My baby hairs are sticking straight up. I guess you can call me Alfalfa ;)
For
some odd reason, I prefer wearing skirts over dresses during the winter
time. I love this particular one because it is a gorgeous cranberry red
color, which is absolutely perfect for this time of year. The stripe
shirt just adds the extra umph to the outfit with all the different
colors. Then to mute the outfit a little, I decided to wear my nude
kitten heels.
For
jewelry, I went with the classic pearls and monogram. A statement
necklace didn't go with the boldness of the shirt therefore I resorted
to my simple monogram necklace.
(Yes, I know, I need to get a manicure. Don't worry Manicure Monday is coming soon.)
An
outfit is never complete without painted nails. At least, I feel this
way. I went with a black nail polish with bits of glitter in it, but it
isn't the chunky, hard-to-get-off glitter. Black nail polish is just a
little too harsh for me so this gave me the "edgy" vibe without it being
too much (for me).
Here is the list of where everything is from:
Shirt: Thrifted
$1.99 - originally from
J. Crew
Skirt: Thrifted
$7.99 - originally from
Ann Taylor (similar one)
Shoes: Rugged Wearhouse
$3.00
Earrings: Target $4.99 (I used my Cartwheel app for additional 20% off)
Necklace: Rue 21
$2.00
I think a complete outfit for under $20 is a complete steal, wouldn't you say so yourself? ;)
