wearing lately: holiday ready - just add red

After the recap of past favorite holiday looks that I'll be pulling out again this season, here are a few new ones. First up, a way to make anything in your closet more Christmasy: add red! I rarely wear lipstick, and don't often wear nail polish either, so putting on some of both in a bright red hue makes outfits feel instantly holiday-ready to me.

Here's one look for a date night or a party with a leather jacket and heels, and then another with fleece lined tights for something a little more laid back and cozy. I like how it feels "me" to have a neutral dress, but taken up a notch on the holiday scale with fun shoes and lip/nail colors I don't pull out very often. And then a grey dress like this is great for the rest of the winter too, paired with black or cognac or even my trusty denim jacket.

Next week's holiday-ready trick is going to be plaid scarves - for Tuesday's #momstyleremix linkup that I hope you'll join!
