Eeeek! We are so close to Christmas! The next few weeks are about to be insane for me. Between work projects, blogging, and personal/family travel, I’m basically booked out until 2022.
I wanted to make sure I cover plenty of holiday looks as we approach the end of the year. I’ll definitely be sharing a good mix of glam and casual looks, because I know no two holiday events are the same! Sometimes you want to go all out with a sequin dress, and other times you want to be cozy in jeans and a sweater, ya know? Either way, I have SO many outfits planned to share with you guys that ALL include a little holiday flair.
Today, let’s talk simple holiday glam! I pulled together 3 different outfits that are a little more on the dressy side, but not crazy fancy or bold. Think elevated casual. These 3 outfits would all be great for a work holiday party, a weekend dinner out, or your family’s holiday dinner. They’re all super comfortable and pretty warm. Let’s break em down…
Outfit #1: Plaid Skirt
Okay, I got this skirt from Forever 21 several years ago and it has never failed me! It’s just a great staple to keep in your closet for the winter months. I love that it can be paired with and without tights, and dressed up or dressed down depending on what type of top you wear. I will link similar ones!
I paired it with my new sweater from Target that is SUPER soft. I opted for a more affordable white sweater rather than splurging because I know myself well; it’ll get dirty quickly or I’m bound to spill a cocktail on it soon enough!
I have been getting several Q’s about these boots on TikTok. They are originally from Forever 21 but they are now sold out! I think they went quickly. I will see if they are back in stock and link them if so! Either way, I have found multiple similar options that I will also link. These boots just feel so chic and effortless.
Outfit #2: Red Dress + Heeled Boots
If you saw my IG post yesterday, you’ve already heard my Jonas Brother’s reference, so I won’t pain you with my joke a second time! But you just can’t go wrong with a good red dress for the holidays. I love the length of this one. It’s long enough that you can wear it with bare legs, and short enough that it doesn’t look too bulky with tights or leggings underneath. It’s super soft too!
It’s on sale today for 15% off and it comes in a couple of other colors too. I linked some other great Abercrombie items in my IG story today so go watch that if you missed it!
Outfit #3: Leather Pants + White Sweater
This outfit is perfect if it’s a little colder outside, or if you don’t want to wear a dress/skirt! Leather pants are a great way to elevate your outfit a little more than just regular trousers or jeans. I paired mine with my Zara sweater (with rhinestone buttons!!!!) for a little extra sparkle.
I also pulled out my black pumps from the back of my closet. It has been a minute since I’ve worn these! But this pointed toe, stiletto heel is just so timeless. My purse is older from Steve Madden and my earrings are a couple of seasons old from H&M. It was 50 degrees outside when I wore this, so I was fine without a coat. But I think this would be adorable with a white or black dress coat over top and a bright red fluffy scarf.
If you have questions about any of these outfit combos, feel free to DM on Instagram! All items OR their alternatives will be linked in my LTK as always! Just tap the link in my bio OR the “shop my looks” tab at the top of my blog 🙂 -Cassie
