OOTD & OOTNs: Christmas Edition!

December 28, 2012

Hello dahhhhlings! :) 

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and enjoyed spending time with your families! This Christmas was one of the busiest I ever had as I celebrated Christmas on 3 different days: the weekend before, Christmas Eve and of course Christmas Day! 

So for a sort of Christmas recap post, I wanted to show y'all some of my holiday outfits. 

The Sunday before Christmas, we celebrated with my mom's side of the family which is always a blast! I have TONS of cousins and we all love getting together, laughing and playing games (oh and also eating...there's always lots of that)! For that celebration I wore a black long-sleeve cotton dress with a faux-fur vest to spice things up (remember when I first blogged about fur vests in my blog post HERE??). I just love throwing this vest on to add a little something extra to my outfit: it goes well over a dress or with a shirt, jeans & boots. 


Dress: Michael by Michael Kors
Fur Vest: Forever 21
Boots: Arturo Chiang
Owl Necklace: H&M

Goofing off with my cousins! I just love them!!!

With my girls!

Christmas Eve was celebrated at my sweet Nana's house (remember when I got tea with Nana HERE?). I have so many precious childhood memories from Nana's house growing up and I always LOVE our Christmas Eve tradition of lunch and exchanging gifts. It seriously always melts my heart :). This year I wore a maroon colored long sleeve dress from my go-to store....you guessed it....Forever 21! It was a steal at $14.80. I paired it with boots but it would also be nice to wear with heels for a dressier occasion. 



Dress: Forever 21
Boots: Arturo Chiang





 And I had to get an OOTD pic at the top of this balcony where I used to literally tie dish rags to my hair and let my "hair" fall to the floor & pretended I was Rapunzel. :) HA!


With my sweet Nana!


Since I missed Christmas morning at my house, all my gifts were out for me right where Santa left them that morning :).... 



As you can see, Santa knows me very well and left me some awesome clothes and boots. Shout out to Santa---thank you! :) 

So how did you spend your Christmas? What did you wear for your Christmas festivities?! Leave me a comment and let me know dolls :)

Thanks SO very much for reading!

XOXO
