Christmas Trees and Piano Keys

It's hard to believe that the holiday season is over. I really enjoyed myself this year. I was surrounded by family and friends, and made new special memories. Every weekend there was some sort of celebration I was attending. It's always great to get out of the house and do something different.

In my family we celebrate Christmas, Kwanzaa, and new years. This year the holidays were dragged out for us. My little brother got his first job and my mom got a promotion, so their schedules were so busy. With Kwanzaa you're supposed to open a gift everyday over 7 days. However, because of conflicting schedules it got dragged out. We finally finished opening all our gifts last week. So now the holidays are officially over for me

I wanted to share some of my holiday looks with you. Most looks are are simple and plain. I found myself more interested in having a good time then stressing over show stopping outfits. I instead found myself in quality pieces that were comfy, festive, and would be safe around food and children.

This first look is a simple dress for a holiday party! You always want to look elegant when attending a more formal occasion. The silky satin material,  helped elevate this dress. The dress was loose and flowy. This is great for holidays because I'm sure we all give into the  extra slices of pie. Wearing a more flowy dress allows you to indulge and not have to worry about a little food baby appearing. The dress is simple but has cute little details that continue to enhance it. The trumpet sleeve and bow detail help take a simple burgundy dress, and turn it into a holiday favorite.

I'm not sure if you can tell from the pictures above but I have a thing for velvet! Especially velvet boots! For this next look I pulled out a crowd favorite, my little grey boots. I got the opportunity to help plan a vision board workshop! As a member of the team and a representation of FASHMIRA I wanted to look fashionable and not just wear the company shirt with jeans. Throwing on more funky shoes can easily take a simple outfit to the next level.

Now, for some reason red plaid was intense this year. I couldn't scroll down my social medias without seeing red plaid shirts, pjs, scarves, or home decor. Red plaid was just everywhere! And I wasn't immune to this wave of red plaid. I love a good plaid button down, cause they're effortlessly fashionable. I end this blog with my new favorite picture, unplanned matching with my two favorite guys, my brother and little cousin. From the shirts, to the jeans, and gold chains we all clearly got a message from the plaid monster. Unknowingly walking into the living room and seeing them mirror my outfit was definitely a holiday highlight. Overall, the holiday season was fun and eventful. Having fun with family and friends is all you truly need to make your holidays complete.
