Happy Holidays!


Hello and thanks for stopping by my blog
I hope you are all enjoying the holiday season-
I can hardly believe Christmas is almost here!

Green is extra popular this holiday season,
since it is both a big seasonal color, and has been a huge fashion color for 2023, too
What colors will you be wearing over the holidays-
 The traditional Christmas colors of red and green?
 Or maybe the metallics that are so on trend now have caught your eye 
Today, I am going with bright festive green
I love the beautiful lace and scalloped hem on this dress
It is sleeveless, so for winter, I am wearing a jacket layer over top
 

The jacket is perfect for the holidays-
a little dressed up with black piping and a pearl embellished collar



Carrying my black and white pleated fabric clutch
with a dot and heart print,
and wearing and dot print bow hairband


I chose some special jewelry for this outfit
Pearl stud earrings, my hinged gold tone bow bracelet and two vintage pieces from the 1950's
A sweet locket with a pair of love birds etched onto the front, 
and a poodle brooch decked out for Christmas in a red Santa hat
 and decorated with green holly sprigs!
How adorable is that?


Black d'Orsay heels to finish this holiday outfit 


I little red, and a lot of green,
Roger is wearing his Santa tie


My second outfit this week is more casual, but still in the holiday spirit
Wearing a pretty V neck chiffon blouse 
printed with large red roses 🌹  paired with classic black straight leg trousers



Carrying one of my more unusual vintage bags from the 1950's
It is a red leather box bag in an elongated curved shape
I love the fine craftsmanship and details of things the from decades past! 


For jewelry, I chose my red enamel hearts necklace,
shiny silver tone flower shaped stud earrings, 
and a wide criss cross design open cuff bracelet


Black suede bow detail sling back pumps to finish the outfit


Some festive treats-
I made double chocolate muffins for the holidays!



Best wishes for a great week to all of you!

  3. The green lace is absolutely gorgeous (and you two look wonderful together). The rose print blouse has that combination of richness with a bit of frothiness that is so elegant in the winter. Your vintage handbag collection blows me away; you have the most interesting shapes and colors and textures. I always enjoy seeing the accessories you choose that add so much nice detail to the outfits.

  7. I ended up wearing a black/grey/ivory patterned jersey dress over leggings! It wasn't very festive, but I had to quickly get dressed as the morning got away from me! Your green lace dress is beautiful, and you look quite stunning in it! I love the vintage accessories, too! Visiting from MummaBStylish!
