Casual Classy Blue Lady

Bass Factory Outlet , necklace-Banana Republic(similar here ) You may recall that I was a very classy lady in this post  and of course I was wearing the same blazer as I am in this OOTD.  There's something about a camel blazer that brings up the class factor. It doesn't hurt that I'm all sorts of monochrome--realness with a navy cardi, button-down, and loafers. Speaking of navy and classy, looks like I'm ahead of the curve, with Pantone's 2020 Color of the Year  Classic Blue! I'm a HUGE fan of blue in all of it's shades and very happy this year's color takes a sharp left from last year's " Living Coral " 🤯 

Red Cords For Christmas

Red denim also works, but I like the added texture cords bring to this look. Plus they feel more rugged, which pairs well with this outdoorsy vest and camo shirt. Of course, you always have to a deft hand when it comes to deploying camo-prints. I tend to error on the side of subtle and try to use them in layered looks so as not to overpower the overall outfit with this tricky pattern.

Holiday Outfitting has Begun!

I also wore this wrap for baby #1's baptism in  January 2016  so needless to say a classic wrap dress can see a woman through a lot of phases and body transitions.  Also needless to say, but I'm going to say it anyway, I look freakin' amazing! Which is another reason why a quality wrap dress should be in every woman's wardrobe, they are so flattering. Paired with my go-to coatigan and practical loafers, this OOTD is a vivid start to the holiday outfitting season. I'd highly recommend busting out a wrap style frock for any, and all of your holiday happenings this year. I  rocked a warp forlast year's family Christmas time , and will definitely be adding it to m
