Outfits Not Just Clothes

 There are so many approaches to holiday dressing. You can go the quirky route with an ugly Christmas sweater, the glitzy route with sparkles, go for a comfy look in matching PJs, or just try to stay warm. For this look I went with a classic go-to outfit uniform, sweater over a dress.  sweater-Saks Off Fifth(more options here ), dress-Gap(similar here ), tights-Target, loafers- G. H. Bass , sunnies- Diff Eyewear I love the idea of fair isle sweater for holiday wear, it's festive without being too on-the-nose and you can wear all winter long, as I did in previous posts  here and here . For those outfits I went with a more menswear route, here I'm going feminine with a springtime dress. Sure, this may come off a little dowdy, but I'm loving the color story of navy, robin's egg blue, and grey. Plus, there's the general hygge-ness of this look, again a perfect holiday vibe! 

Fair Isle and Foxes! 🦊 cardigan-J.W. Anderson for Uniqlo(similar here ), pants-Uniqlo(similar here ), shirt-Old Navy(similar here ), boots-Zara(similar here )  In holidays past, my sweater game leaned toward the ironic/ugly, as seen in this post from last year . I've pivoted with this cardigan from Uniqlo, which definitely has a festive feel, but isn't overtly "holiday" and should have many more wears this coming winter.  I ran with the colors from the fair isle neckline in picking these window-pane trousers and fox-print shirt.  I will say this sweater would probably come off a bit more flattering unbuttoned with a half-tucked shirt, but I REALLY like the "geek chic" effect of being all buttoned up!   For more Holiday Dressing "ideas" check out these posts here and here .
