Holiday Spirit-Christmas Will Be Here Before We Know It!

Seasons greetings, and thanks for stopping by my blog today!

The holiday season is passing so quickly, in a whirlwind really,

skipping along from Halloween to Thanksgiving to Christmas,

 and then it is all over until next year (HallowThanksMas?) 

Anyone else's head spinning? Don't forget to make time to really enjoy it all!

This week, I'm wearing two outfits featuring holiday colors, or course!

My first look is a forest green maxi dress with a white floral spray print

An easy choice for the busy holidays-one and done

This dress has a lot of pretty details to make it special all on it's own

It is wrap style and lined, with long sheer sleeves and smocked elastic cuffs

The hem is slightly asymmetrical, shorter in the front

and has a deep ruffled hem-fancy!

 

Adding a little bit of the metallic trend that is so popular right now

  with my bronze clutch bag,

 and wearing a green retro elephant figure clasp belt

I chose sparkly bold golden jewelry to fit in with the festive season

Wide woven collar necklace, gold bead hair band

and vintage 50's/60's graceful leaf shaped earrings

These shoes have been so versatile, which is hard to believe!

They are leopard print sling back pumps with clear sequins attached

They have worn surprisingly well and have a comfortable, walkable 2 1/2" heel

They are from Anne Klein, and have been worth their weight in glitzy gold

This is one of the few brands of shoes that I can confidently order over the internet

because they generally fit.

My second outfit is neutral, with festive accents in red

Can't possibly go through the Christmas season without wearing the color red! ❤️

This is the tan cropped cardigan that I also wore for one of my outfits on my Thanksgiving post

Today I layered  the sweater over an ivory chiffon bow blouse,

and pairing it with a plaid skirt with all around box pleats

The plaid in the skirt is wavy, and reminds me a bit of Christmas ribbon 

 

For jewelry, I followed the ribbon theme with a gold tone twisted bangle

and dangling curved earrings

Also wearing a sweet 1950's vintage brooch

of a puppy holding his red enamel Christmas stocking-so cute!

Carrying a favorite red vinyl 1960's mod box bag

Finishing this holiday look with red suede Maryjanes with bow detail

From our house to yours-Happy Holidays!

🎄🎅🤶

I'll close with some Christmas table decor-the adorable winking Santa pitcher is from the 60's

I hope everyone enjoys the week!
