The holidays are here again and I am excited to have all my fall things packed away and all my lovely winter clothes brought out again. Red is my favorite color for these cold months, it warms my heart just to see it, and of course I have all my warm MAK sweaters to style in new ways this year.
I put this little holly jolly outfit together to kick off the holiday season and I love it so well, I'm planning on wearing it to all my get togethers this month. I've been pairing crop tops and midis for years now, (check out my very first post about it from 2015 and a follow up in 2016 to see how far we've come in this style over the years) in fact it's the only way I wear my crops.
MAK is rolling out a new style of pullover, this cute little crop with long sleeves. I knew the second I saw it that this top was made to be part of a holiday outfit, and since I'd just rolled out my winter wardrobe, I knew exactly which midi to wear with it. Silver and gold are all well and good, but this year, it's ivory and gold with a little red in the mix that's really speaking to me.
I am obsessed with these fishnet tights from WeLoveColors. They are the perfect accent for so many outfits year round because there is enough coverage to keep my legs warm but I can still breathe should the day turn warmer. And with so many color options I can get a pair that goes with literally everything I own! Since trying them last year, I've made it a goal to own one in every color.
They bring so much panache to every outfit I've worn them with but especially with this Christmas outfit. It would have been a little bland without them. As far as red goes, it has to be the warmest hue this time of year, not burgundy, not pink, no, it has to be this Scarlet Red to really make the outfit pop.
To all this, I added a little handmade felt holly brooch that I put together in about 15 minutes and plan to wear all season long. Is it subtle? No. Is it perfect? Maybe. Do I love it? Yeeeess!! The holidays are here and I'm ready to spread some cheer, give some gifts, and once again gather with those I love to share in the magic of the season.
