Holiday Outfit Thread

[sunshineandpinot]

Shall we do a holiday outfit thread? Post your holiday/party/festive wear here!

Well we are going the "fun" route agsin for Christmas, so my H is going to dress as the grinch and I'll be dressed as Cindy Lou Who (the original cartoon and book version).

Aside from that, for any parties I may encounter, I have sequin pants and a lace back tunic I may wear.

[sunshineandpinot]

I wore this last Sat night. I was going to wear my short fringe skirt but at the last minute dh missed his flight home from Detroit and I had to go without him. I didn't think it was very appropriate to wear such a short skirt sans my hubby Leather leggings to the rescue!
So the fringe skirt and all the legs come out tonight for holiday party #2!

DH is working Christmas and my Mom may or may not be coming down. If she's here, I've been promised a huge abondoned mine decked out in lights for the holiday activity and Chinese food or whatever is open. I don't think I need to dress for those since the first activity doesn't involve getting out of the car.

DH is off for NYE though! I'm working on him for a Lady A concert at midnight with fireworks on NYE and ND in a Bowl Game the day before. I'm hoping that plan works. I have my "Play Like A Champion" hat and kelly green and navy stripped LLL scarf for the game. I may need to consult carylee07 on how to dress cute for a sporting event since she is the master!

I don't have any parties, but I do need to find an ugly sweater for Christmas Eve with my family.

Target has ugly sweater dresses or tunics.  They have this one and this one for cat ladies.

Still trying to figure out what I'm wearing tonight for H's friends holiday party. I have a red cocktail dress to wear for the ballet we are going to in a couple of weeks (the nutcracker) so it's not a holiday party but holiday themed event lol and my work parties are just drinks after work so I'll wear whatever I wore to work that day.

The only other event to dress up for that I have is NYE and I'm planning on a bronze sequin mini with black tights, black booties and a longer black blazer I think. I'll post a pic when I end up wearing it.

All of mine have been super casual. I'm kind of bummed that I don't have a fancy party to go to.

Here's what I threw together for a last minute dinner at H's boss's house.

[lostarz]

I'm so jealous of everyone that gets to go to a fancy holiday party. All mine are family ones so no need to get super dressed up. I'd look out of place if I showed up in sequins :/

I wish I had a full body shot of us, but here's E and I (me?) at my family Christmas party last night.

[sunshineandpinot]

Party last night. Details are so hard to see but I wore the fringe skirt w/ a blousier (i just made up that word) top. Black tights and black patent leather pumps. Told the sitter we were on our way home at 2:20 last night. :/

pixy0stix You look great and your hair and makeup are perfection!

sunshineandpinot The blousy top with the patent shoes look really nice with that skirt. Definitely the best combo with that skirt.

[sunshineandpinot]

Thanks sa! I also feel like this was the best combo!
pixy0stix you look fantastic! Love the dress!!

Wore this to my gym Christmas party (I teach a couple of group fitness classes). I was definitely on the (way) dressier side, but I didn't care!

I love the pop of the booties.

Thank you! I tried it with black shoes first, but the outfit needed something bright!

This was us at the Police Ball on Friday. It's one of my favorite events we go to every year.

Yes! I was completely comfortable all night.

[DirtySouth]

This post is making me want to shop for an outfit that's a little sparkly.

[sunshineandpinot]

Party this evening. I hope I don't look this squatty IRL :/ (I don't think I do)

[MrsPotatohead]

Nutcracker tonight!



new dress from a local boutique www.shopfrockshop.com/
new graduation shoes!
Favorite KS earrings

I didn't even realize until I put this all on that the dress has this pretty red undertone, which I tried to capture in the one pic. Also had to do a red lip because why not

Ooh and I have to thank a vlogger ( www.youtube.com/channel/UC5zSySQab9SA6Wz569WDgqw ) who suggested using the red NYX butter lip balm over red lipstick, it's amazing! On it's own it's actually a great daytime red, but over the lipstick makes it really soft and not feel so dry. And I tried a new hair tutorial: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0w2cuuoGOkI&list=UUctjAAIUSW3DRS-5Phh_hgQ
