wearing lately: a bit like Christmas

Now that it's starting to look a bit like Christmas around the house, my wardrobe is starting to lean the same way... just like the decor, keeping it simple this year (even though I usually love putting together a little holiday capsule like this or this - it's not like I'm going to holiday parties at the moment, or really anywhere for that matter) but trying to capture a little of that feeling of having some special outfit touches to make things feel festive.

A plaid flannel shirt like this doesn't necessarily scream *Christmas* which is nice because it can be used all fall and winter long - but the coziness still feels very seasonal, and even a bit festive when paired with some red. I like textures for seasonal wear just as much as colors, I think.

Plus: party-ready hair! When it's a new haircut day, the 'do really must be shown off, so I had to snap a few quick photos (since, again, all done up with nowhere to go). Got the whole holiday package here. Oh, and speaking of hair: the easiest way to turn any outfit into a holiday-ready outfit is a plaid headband! Try something like this or this for instant festivity and cheer.
