I’m not big on the holidays (too stressful) but one thing I am big on is getting dressed up and December certainly lends itself to that. My husband’s company holiday party was this weekend so I got to put on some heels and get dolled up.
While a dress is easy and elegant a blouse and skirt combo just felt a bit more fun and unexpected for the evening. I’ve had the lace top for a few years and I paired it with a new favorite, this Jolie & Elizabeth skirt I just purchased a few days ago. I’m already thinking of ways to dress it down for daytime so I can wear it all the time.
Not wanting to wear a sea of black I decided to throw this big chain and studded necklace over the top. I love the mixed metals and the glass jewels make it feel a bit dressier.
This photo reminds me of a high school dance, minus the black lipstick and combat boots and no, I’m not sharing those with y’all. We’re actually going to have the professional pics in a 5×7 but I had the photographer snap this for me with my humble point and shoot. I’ve also decided to buy myself a Christmas gift this year, a new camera!
So what are you excited to wear this holiday season? A reliable LBD or something new and different?

I like how you kept black interesting through the various textures! Jolie & Elizabeth always have such cute pieces, that’s great you took advantage of their sale!
Love it! I’m still trying to figure out my holiday dressing–I’ve got a X-mas dinner this weekend and a formal wedding on New Year’s Eve.
Ashe- even better I paid less for that Burberry blouse than I did for the skirt. 😛
You look great girl. Love the dress and necklace.
