Festive Outfit Ideas for the Holiday Season

Hello everyone! The holiday season is upon us and I think most of us can agree we are ready to celebrate in person with family and friends this year. What I love about this time of the year is the the luxurious textures – sequins, faux fur, silk and velvet! Anything made from these materials makes for the best festive outfits. I am so excited to show you three outfit ideas for the holiday season! Enjoy!

The first outfit is a great option if you are in colder temperatures or if you just want to be a little more casual. 

The sequin leggings I bought from Express last year and love the fun look! The silk cream cami is also from Express and I wear it all the time. The INC International Concepts velvet blazer is affordable, comfortable and looks so luxurious! All these items I ordered in xs. And last but not least…the mini crossbody bag by White House Black Market. The diamond quilted, velvety texture is the perfect pop of red for any festive outfit!

My new favorite dress! Honestly, I did not think I could pull off this dress. (Don’t let camera angles fool you! Lol) This satin Cowl Neck Midi slip dress from Express is so beautiful, it’s timeless and can be worn for multiple occasions. Comes in 14 different colors and fits TTS. I am wearing a small. If you are bustier the dress might not work for you. It’s pretty tight in the chest. 

The faux leather shorts are so versatile and can be worn all year round! This outfit has endless ways you can style it for the holidays or in general. The shorts are from Amazon and I ordered a medium. To see how I styled the shorts in the summer visit here. Shirt, shoes & purse from WHBM! 

Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving! I am so excited to eat green bean casserole. Hands down my favorite dish!
