Holiday Style
Yesterday I shared how we Decked the Halls in our home and today I’m so excited to be participating in the Texas Christmas Bloghop hosted by Stacey at Poofing Your Pillows. When she asked me if I would share a fashion post I was so flattered! Here are a few of my favorite ways to show a little holiday style.
{Holiday Flare}
I purchased this fun little dress in 2014 but you can find a similar style in beautiful blue here. Last year this dress made and appearance at a cocktail Christmas party. I also think it would make a great dress for attending a holiday event such as a performance of the Nutcracker ballet or the Rockettes Christmas Spectacular.
This time I would definitely carry a leopard clutch and opt for black suede peep toe heels similar to these here.
I am always up for adding a little extra sparkle and I love this simple bracelet from Stella & Dot or a cluster of pearls necklace would be a nice touch. I would also consider a faux fur stole to warm it up a bit.
{Holiday Sparkle}
For a holiday party needing a little sparkle but not requiring a power dress, I think adding a simple sequin tank under a festive jacket works well. Keeping the tank and pants the same color also helps provide a slimming effect during this time of year when I’m feeling just a tad fluffy.
Adding a fun pair of shoes is an easy way to add a little punch to an otherwise plain outfit. I pull these out every year around the holidays.
{Holiday Social}
This week I have a girls night out planned with some sweet friends and this sweater definitely says I’m ready to celebrate and have a little fun.
I think pairing with leopard shoes really works well with the gold dots but that’s just me! The Stella & Dot Rebel Pendant is definitely one of the most worn items I own. It is just so simple but perfectly accents almost any outfit.
{Holiday Casual}
When Christmas day finally arrives I’m all about enjoying the day with my family and that means wearing something I feel comfortable in. This red sweater from Target paired with a great plaid scarf and will allow me to feel pulled together while my favorite Paige denim will allow me to also be comfortable enough to enjoy my fave tamales!
Any boots would really work with this look; high, low, uggs. I love these Frye boots and receive compliments every time I wear them. If you are looking for a great polish to amp up your holiday style, I have loved OPI I’m Not Really a Waitress for probably the past 10 years. I have tried others but always come back to this shade of red.
What is your favorite way to sparkle over the holidays? Wishing you all a very merry and style filled Christmas!
Thank you again to Stacey for pulling together this blog hop. Now hop on over and see what these ladies have in store for you today!
Love love love! All of your outfits for the holiday season are spot on! I'm going to search for the polka dot sweater and the nail polish. Thank you so much for being part of this blog hop.

You have just the right outfit for any holiday event. I especially like your red sweater and scarf. I'm going to check Target today to see if they still have it.

Thank you so much Jess. I don't know why I keep the sequins for only special occasions. I have found it works under just about anything lately. Merry Christmas.
Thank you Alice and as always thanks for hosting such a super linkup. Merry Christmas.
Thank you Jaymie! Merry Christmas.
I'm crazy about it and wish I had somewhere to where it to this year. Have a great weekend Laura!
I could totally see you in this dress Darcy. It is so much fun.
Thank you sweet friend. Merry Christmas.
Thank you Karen! Are you hoping for some less muggy weather as much as I am? Ready for it to feel a little more like Christmas! Have a great weekend!
Ha! Last year I actually purchased this dress to wear to the Rockettes and Carly had a matching little girl version. Of course a crazy cold and wet cold front came through and we ended up in jeans and boots! Have a great weekend.
Thank you for sharing Kathryn and for hosting such a fun linkup. Can't wait to browse. Merry Christmas.
It really is a fun dress and I wish I had somewhere fun to where it this year! Hope you have a great weekend!
Thanks sweet lady! Merry Christmas.
Thank you Betsy. Hope you have a super weekend.
It is a great sweater Ellis. I have already worn it so many times and I'm hoping it cools off here in Texas before Christmas as it most certainly will be my choice for a comfy Christmas.
I'm definitely set and spent Thursday night getting my closet back in order so I can actually see everything again! How in the world does it get that way? Hope you have a super weekend Andrea!
Always a super easy but pulled together choice. Thanks for stopping by Joyce!
Thank you Abby. It really is a fun dress.
Leopard for the win…anytime. How did I miss this for so many years? Have a great weekend friend.
Thanks for stopping by Celestina. I am loving this new clutch and the fact it was under $50 was a win. Merry Christmas.
Thanks again for hosting the blog hop Stacey!
Great looks! I love how you named them. My faves are holiday sparkle and holiday casual!
Thanks so much or linking up with Friday Favorites! Hope you have an amazing week ahead of you!

You look beautiful! I love the polka dot sweater, it's my favorite!
Such pretty, festive, holiday outfits!
Thanks so much Amy! Merry Christmas
I am so glad I picked it up! I can definitely see myself wearing it alot over the holidays especiallly now that it is going to be so warm here in Texas. Merry Christmas!
I seriously paid way too much for them about 4 years ago and have had the heels recapped twice. I love them and kind of forgot how much until I pulled them out for these pictures!
Thanks so much Miz Helen! The leopard clutch has been one of my very top additions this fall. I just love it. Merry Christmas.
Thanks so much for hosting Christie!
