wearing lately: December mini wardrobe

The holiday season comes with lots of reasons to dress festively, and I just love it. Even for the everyday, I just get more excited for outfits with a holiday season twist. So to make the most of the more festive items in my closet, I came up with this mini wardrobe lineup to mix and match for December. It doesn't have to be all about the red and green - plaid, sparkles, winter white, and metallics/gold all say "festive" to me too.
metallic stripe tee | cable knit sweater (similar) | plaid shirt | little red dress (similar, similar) | skinny jeans (similar cheaper) | black jeans | party skirt (similar, similar) | festive flats | chambray shirt | pea coat (similar cheaper) | clutch | sparkly jewelry: earrings, similar necklace | ankle boots | heels | plaid scarf | chunky cardigan (similar)

So for the first mix & match demonstration: gold. In particular, a metallic stripe tee styled all casual and cozy with jeans and a chunky cardigan, and then styled for something fancy with a sequin embellished wool mini skirt and some festive flats (actually wore this to church for the first Sunday of Advent - even if it wasn't quite yet December, I think that's still occasion enough for some "noel" shoes, right?).

What are you wearing this month? I loved the little Christmas capsule I came up with last year too - 15 outfits from 15 items - and might have to pull out some of those looks again as well!

  1. That sparkly skirt is so fun!!! And your other look is speaking to me right now haha. With a chunky cardigan I think it looks great to keep everything else more fitted. Today I have on skinny pants that are almost too big for me now (I think they stretched out quite a bit!) plus a looser fitting blouse and sweater and it's making me feel frumpy for sure. Thanks for giving me an idea for a better look!

  2. I love how you styled your gold sequin skirt. I have a similarish one, but I'm I'm always unsure how to style it. I might have to borrow your striped shirt idea. :) So cute. The shirt looks great with a chunky cardigan as well!

  10. Your December closet is so much fun! I love the touches of sparkle and rich, bold colors. You know I love a good striped top, so I think I may need to pick up that fun metallic version! I love how it adds a little bit of holiday fun to any look, but it's subtle enough that you can wear it throughout the year. And how cute are those shoes?

  14. I say this every single month, but this mini capsule is just beautiful! I really, really like this idea - I've actually been adopting a little bit of this practice as I've been getting dressed over the past several months and I really like how it's working for me.

    The outfit with the striped shirt and gold skirt is SO cute! I can't get over those adorable Noel flats as well.
