Plaid Shirt Dress

If you don’t have a go-to plaid shirt dress in your wardrobe, then I would highly recommend purchasing one in the new year.  They are such a versatile piece that can be dressed up or dressed down and will give you tons of options for different outfits to create in your wardrobe.  A denim vest is also an excellent choice if you are looking to add a few new silhouettes to your closet in 2016!  Be sure to shop my favorite plaid dresses and vests below!

In-Vested

I love a good vest.  And when I saw this cute number on one of my favorite bloggers, I knew it would be a perfect addition to my wardrobe.  But now that this piece is hanging in my closet, what I especially love about it is how cozy it is.  It’s more like a giant blanket scarf/wrap and is the perfect piece for layering up for a little added extra warmth.  I know it will also be a go-to for me during my frequent work travels during the colder months. And even better? It’s less than $16 and also comes in black and gray!

Merry Merry

Merry Christmas Eve, sweet friends.  I just wanted to take a minute away from the hustle and bustle of all of the craziness and wish you and your families a very Merry Christmas.

I have also been thinking a lot this Christmas season, that while it truly is the most wonderful time of the year for many, for equally as many, it can truly be one of the toughest times of the year.  So I would challenge you all that as you are out and about running last-minute errands today, to follow through on those little acts of kindness that tug at our heart-strings but are so easy ignore the busier we are.

If you think something nice about a stranger you see, tell them.  Open or hold a door for someone.  Don’t be impatient with the sales clerk checking you out.  Smile and say “hello” or “Merry Christmas”  to people you pass.  Buy a drink for someone at Starbucks.  Help a little old lady with her groceries.  Tell your family and friends how much you love and appreciate them. No matter how big or how small, YOU have the ability to really make a difference for someone who is hurting this holiday season and be a light for all to see the true meaning of Christmas.  I love you all so much and am so grateful for all of your support this year.  Thank YOU so much for following along with me on this journey.

Red and Green

Okay, okay.  So as cliché as it might be this time of year, I do love a good old red and green combo.  Particularly when it is slightly more subtle than a traditional Christmas red and green.  So with that said, for today’s outfit, I substituted Kelly green with olive, which slightly tones down the combo.  And while it still feels festive, it isn’t over the top.  Can we also talk about this jacket for a minute?  Not only is it super soft and comfy, but it’s also under $30!  Amazing!

Holiday Glam

This gold skirt was one of my very favorite purchases last year, and it’s still one of my favorite things in my closet this year too.  It really is the perfect choice for a Christmas or NYE party, and you can style it so many different ways throughout the year too!  So if you’re still on the hunt for something fun and festive to wear this week or next, I’ve linked several similar options below.

Cozy

If you are looking to step up your outerwear game this season, then I would highly recommend trying a furry or fuzzy coat.  I initially picked up a blush pink version (which you can see here), and loved it so much, that I have been on the hunt for a more casual option the past few weeks.  And I just so happened to luck out and find this cozy one (on sale!) that was exactly what I was looking for.  Not only do I love the way it looks, but it is incredibly warm and pretty much feels like I am wearing a cloud.  Be sure to scroll to the bottom of the post to shop this coat and my other favorite furry coats of the season!

Twirly Girl

When I was a little girl, I LOVED skirts that I could twirl in.  I mean really, what little girl doesn’t? And even as an adult, I am still drawn pretty feminine skirts and dresses that make me feel like twirling around like a little kid.  And this gorgeous polka tulle skirt from Dainty Jewells does just that.  I mean really, tulle AND polka dots?  You had me with just the tulle!

If you aren’t familiar with Dainty Jewells, be sure to check them out.  They have so many beautiful and unique pieces on their site that you won’t find in a typical department store.  And if you are anything like me, it’s always important to invest in those special pieces for your wardrobe that make you a stand out.  And Dainty Jewells provides exactly that type of clothing at an affordable price.  They also have affordable bridesmaid dresses as well.  You can shop my skirt and some of my other favorite items below!

We had a massive snowstorm here in Utah yesterday, so it seems so weird posting these photos now that we have about 2 feet of snow on the ground at my house!  Fingers crossed this means we’ll have a white Christmas!
