Christmas Chic



Christmas Chic

I love the holidays because I finally get to see all my friends who are away at school and family who I never see. Also.... one of my other reasons for loving the holiday season is because I allow myself to indulge in my favorite habit without feeling (completely) guilty; shopping. The sales are great, and most of the time I find the expensive pieces of clothing I wanted to buy in the fall on clearance. As much as I love to shop, I am frugal with my money and buy the best I can afford, but spend it on timeless 
pieces I'll always wear, but I ALWAYS shop sales first. 
Smartest thing a gal can do. 

However, come this time of year when you see people you don't normally, I like to dress to impress and look my best; but be comfortable. I work most of the time and if I can't be comfortable in my outfit I'm not going to wear it. It kills to be stylish is a great expression but unless your Kate Moss in 7 inch YSL heels in the desert, it doesn't apply to you.

I like to wear simple, classic pieces throughout the holidays that act as a blank canvas to accessories, and I've found a few to share with you in case you still haven't found your Christmas Best Outfit!
