Hi, everyone! I hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas-- mine was busy and full of socializing with family, which was very enjoyable but also exhausting. One thing that I look forward to most about the Christmas season is being able to put together holiday outfits. As you all have probably gathered, I love any excuse to dress up. My first outfit is from December 23rd, when I went to eat with my dad's family at my grandmother's house. This one was probably my most "Christmassy" outfit as it featured a bright red sweater and plush gingerbread man pin: The sweater, which has a few rows of faux pearls around the collar came from Talbots, one of my favorite stores. Some of their clothing items are rather plain, but I am always able to find tops and accessories that are elegant and timeless. The skirt is from a shop in New Orleans called Trashy Diva. Whenever I go to New Orleans, I *have* to visit their clothing, shoe, and lingerie shops. It is a vintage lover's dream! Their clothing designs and fabric choices are reminiscent of the 1930s to the 1960s, and although they tend to be pricey and their sizes run small, I always feel right at home when shopping in their stores. One issue I have with the skirt, though, is that I hate the fabric. It wrinkles easier than anything else in my closet (I put it on, sat down, and when I got up it was terribly wrinkled in the back), and it seems to be pretty delicate as I already have a run in it after only wearing it once before. For shoes I went with a black, heeled mary jane in leather, and I finished off my look with a black and red rose hair clip and adorable gingerbread man pin that I picked up at Cracker Barrel some years ago. My purse came from H&M about 6 years ago and is a giant patent leather heart with ruffles around the edge. Unfortunately I didn't get a good picture of my Christmas Eve outfit, but my dress was from the brand Hell Bunny and has old fashioned bicycles (penny farthings) all over it. The cut is more 1930s, but I decided to put a petticoat under it anyway and I think it looked pretty good! Of course I had to wear pearls, and my shoes were black leather t-strap heels. My outfit for Christmas Day was not exactly what I had wanted to wear, but it reached 80 degrees farenheit that day so I had to do my best to choose a decently festive outfit that I would not burn up in. So, I went with a burgundy dress from Modcloth with small white polka dots. Again, too much was going on for me to get a very good picture of it but here I am with my sweetheart at his house: The New Year is right around the corner, though I doubt I will put together a special outfit for it. I don't think I'm going anywhere in particular so my outfit will probably be some sort of lounge wear so me and Stephen can stay in and watch movies.
Thanks for reading; as always I appreciate your time <3

Love your outfits! I've never been to New Orleans but I am always on the hunt for 20s-40s wear. I'll have to keep that in mind when I get out there one of these days!
