Merry Christmas Eve! You may remember this skirt from a post a couple week’s ago. I picked out the red plaid skirt because of how perfect it is for the holidays so it seemed like the perfect skirt for getting dressed up for Christmas Eve. We’d usually be heading out to dinner tonight, but had some family decide to join us at the last minute so we’re staying in and making egg rolls tonight. I love getting dressed up with my family, but am excited to hang out in jeans tonight.
I’ve been embracing lip color lately and felt like quite the risk taker when I ordered this set. I really like the color and it tastes really good too. The stick is super pigmented and the color applies easily. Experimenting with makeup has been my free time hobby the past couple weeks and I finally caved last week and ordered a blender. Guys, no one was lying or exaggerating – it’s a game changer for your makeup bag! My number one ‘getting ready’ song recently has been December off Ariana Grande’s Christmas and Chill EP. Definitely my new favorite Christmas jams.
I love a bold coat and this green one is perfect for the season. I knew I wanted to pair it with this skirt with the subtle green stripe running through the plaid. It’s been super warm here (think 70 degrees) so a coat isn’t completely necessary but good to have on hand if the weather decides to get wonkier.
I snagged these lace up flats a couple weeks ago when Old Navy restocked online, unfortunately they’ve already sold out again, but this pair is pretty similar and is on sale right now for $20.
Fit and flare skirts are 100% a “safe” option for me; I adore the ladylike silhouette and being pear shaped, I really love that they emphasize my waist and float over, instead of hug, my thighs. I’m wearing a medium in this skirt and find the fit and length to be just right. Be sure to check the measurements on the size guide if you are considering buying anything from this online store.
I won’t be posting tomorrow due to it being Christmas, but wanted to wish you all a very Merry Christmas! I’m very lucky to be able to count this blog as one of my many blessings this year.
