Collette Dinnigan blouse, Forever 21 skirt, Alexander Wang bag, J Crew belt, CO-OP Barneys booties
Gabe and I began our "holiday dress up date" tradition last night with dinner out, then returning home to decorate our apartment for the season. After listening to Christmas music all weekend, I felt cheery and festive, which was reflected in my choice of outfits. I've now decided sequins and jewel tones are my new favorite combination for this time of year. What do you wear when feeling festive?

You look fabulous in that outfit and the shade of blue is fantastic on you. I cannot believe the skirt is from Forever 21! That whole outfit is very festive and perfect for the season.
That's a wonderful tradition! Maybe I really should put up my Christmas tree!
I agree with Naina, no tights at this time of the year? I'm jelly!

I'm such a sucker for sequins so naturally, I adore your skirt! I'm game when it comes to anything sparkly and girly for the holidays, though -- feathers, velvet, etc.
This outfit is really posh. It is sexy while understated! I love it!
Lately I've only been wearing layers!!! It is freezing. Right now I have on 2 sweaters and a cardi. Spring, where are you?
hey girl... remember that studded clutch you made? have you worn it lately?! I'd love to see it again with a new outfit!! xo
