From super hip to super mom, you have to convey an image of a woman who has got it together! With hosting, shopping, wrapping, Christmas Programs, baking and cooking, this time of year is busier than ever! The key to looking great on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day is to plan ahead!
Take the time now to get your outfit ready. Dry Clean, repair or iron anything in your closet you plan to wear. Need to buy something (or borrow!)? Then do it while you are out this week! Don’t wait until the last minute to run those types of errands or you may risk having to wearing that ugly holiday sweater your hubby gave you 5 years ago! (Why do you still own that, by the way?)
Here are a few outfits to inspire you. Remember, the goal is to “Shop your closet” first. Find items that are similar and can be re-purposed to create a new look for yourself. When you have put together the outfit and are still short an item, then give yourself permission to buy it since you need to look FAB for the holidays!
Classy Mama! If your family dinner is formal, opt for a Puff-Sleeve Coat, Taffeta Dress and Satin Pumps. Buy this outfit at Banana Republic.
Youthful, trendy and fun! This outfit is perfect for entertaining at home or going out to a trendy restaurant! This outfit is available at Anne Klein.
Colorful Personality: Go for something other than black in this gorgeous plum sweater dress! This outfit is great for Christmas Eve dinner! Dress found at Target.
Keeping it casual? You still need to get dressed and look good! Wear a cozy cardigan instead of a sweatshirt and a great fitting pair of jeans or tweed pants. Another great comfort look is to pair your favorite sweater dress with leggings. Wear your sexy flat boots and some pretty jewelry to make the day special. You can change to your lounge wear after dark!
