Classy: An LBD with red lip, perfectly crafted bun and simple chain necklace
If you’ve started to pack for Christmas vacation and your time off with family and friends, you might be in a slight panic thinking “what in the world am I going to where on Christmas Eve and Christmas day?” Thinking about what I’m going to wear for these days is important otherwise I’ll pack two extra suitcases (seriously). Thanks to my Christmas board on Pinterest, packing has become a lot less complicated. Do you know what you’re wearing for the holidays this year?
Christmas Colors: Pair red with green in an unexpected way
Simplicity: Add a pair of colored tights to spice up an otherwise plain outfit
White & Black: Play with textures (feathers) and patterns (stripes) to create a chic, perfectly styled winter outfit and add a red lip for charm
Nontraditional: Opt for something you normally wouldn’t for Christmas such as leopard print, over-the-knee boots and a beret

December 20, 2012 at 11:49 PMThese are beautiful looks, I love these versions, especially the first and last photos. For us, Christmas Eve is a bit more of a huge deal, so I will be going with the simple and sparkled ensemble. 🙂 Have a wonderful weekend.

December 25, 2012 at 6:32 PMHi Krista! Thanks for your comment! I repinned this photo on Pinterest from this board: http://pinterest.com/kemmarose/adorable-clothes/ It looks like it is a photo of Becky Filip, who you can find on MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/whatisabecky/photos/error?error=3#%7B%22ImageId%22%3A49187088%7D I'm not sure how old the photo is though so I'm not sure where you would be able to find the exact items or if they are still available! Sorry I hope that was some help 🙂

December 26, 2012 at 12:52 AMSuch cute outfits! I ended up wearing a neon orange top, leggings, and knee high boots. It was definitely something different from the usual green and red.
