Hello!
Well, ’tis the season for holiday parties which has me thinking about possible outfits these next few weeks.

Today, I’m sharing outfit ideas from a variety of places (online boutique, Amazon, Target, DSW, Old Navy, and Walmart). Some of these pieces I own, and others are just ideas.
I would have loved to try on more outfits, but lack of time and lack of daylight caught up with me.
Outfit 1:
This is definitely a dressier option. I actually ordered this black dress from Shop Style Your Senses. I have a few pieces from this shop, and have loved them all.
The clutch is a new fave of mine and is perfect for a more semi/formal occasion.
Then, depending on the weather, your mood, or the attire details, you could wear tall boots, heels, or booties.

Outfit 2:
I love this new blouse I picked up from Amazon recently (I have it in two colors!) paired with black skinny jeans. For a little holiday sparkle, these silver pumps (named “the Jen” –how perfect!) do the trick. My favorite quilted crossbody purse (huge price drop!) in black is the perfect accessory.

Outfit 3:
So, I actually tried the Vegan Leather Split-Hem Flare Leggings from Abercrombie & Fitch, but they were too long on me. If you are interested, it appears that they are now on clearance.
Proof that I know our phones are tracking us, these cropped ones (less than $20) popped up in a Walmart ad.

I saw this pic of the model when I ordered the pants which got me thinking…

…about a similar outfit I could put together with my new “rose” colored sweater and glittery heels. Again, the clutch would be a perfect match for the heels.
(FYI: I ordered the pants in both medium and large and kept the medium)

Outfit 4:
Nothing screams holiday like a plaid shirt.
I love a plaid shirt paired with denim or a skinny black pant. Red tartan and blue plaid are definitely my fave. You could wear the glitter pumps or stick with a more classic look with black pumps. Again, the quilted crossbody would be perfect for a more put together but not as dressy look.

Proof that I’ve embraced plaid through the years:


I really do try to shop my closet first, and I always buy pieces that I can mix and match. Which outfit is your favorite?
