when it comes to dressing for the holidays, i always go fancier for christmas eve and then keep it more casual for christmas day. after presents, my family and i always saw a movie on christmas day so i guess i always dressed for comfort over anything else. madewell trousers || j.crew chambray || natalie borton necklace ...
well i do declare. i never thought i'd see the day when i chose dress pants over a dress or skirt -especially for a festive occasion like christmas eve. but y'all, that's the power of these pants. i really can't stress it enough -if you have not yet jumped aboard the wide-leg trouser trend, i highly ...

merry christmas eve! still not quite sure what to wear to tonight's candlelight service/family dinner? not to worry! i've rounded up a few of my favorite holiday combinations from the past few weeks to provide you with some last-minute outfit-inspiration. sequins & denim no sequins? no problem! your favorite pair of denim would look just as holiday chic when paired with lace ...
