Hi friends!
I’ll be taking a bit of a break this week being that it’s a holiday week and all. We’re traveling to my parents house this week for Thanksgiving, and I’m looking forward to some family time.
It’s our first significant road trip with Gabe though, and I’m hoping he does okay! It’s been awhile since we roadtripped with a newborn, and to be honest, it’s not my favorite thing ha!
But I wanted to get this mini holiday lookbook posted for you guys before the mad rush of Black Friday and Cyber Monday… and not just because I want you to be able to take advantage of sales. I’ve chosen five core pieces from my wardrobe that everyone most likely has a version of, and created outfits based off of those pieces.
Hopefully it inspires you to look into your own wardrobe first before you feel the pull of Black Friday.
But if you DO want to add one of these pieces to your wardrobe, you’ll be able to do it a discount (in some cases).
The 5 pieces I’ve chosen are “the pant,” “the colorful blouse,” “the skirt,” “the jumpsuit,” and “the dress.”
I’ve styled each piece two ways: one more casually, and one more dressy. These 10 outfits should keep you covered throughout the Holiday season.
Oh, and a few tips for dressing for parties:
- I like to keep my hair undone and my makeup done, or vice versa. In other words, I don’t like to look too “done.” Of course that’s a personal preference, but it gives your look a Parisian flare that I love.
- I prefer a more subtle approach to dressing for parties. You could go for sequins and glitter (which can be really fun), but I think simple, elegant pieces make much more of an impression.
- Don’t underestimate the power of simple, classic gold jewelry and a red lip. You really can’t go wrong.
So let’s get to it shall we!

Great ideas Karin! So chic!!
Thanks friend!
Wow! I just have to say, the second look with the amour vert blouse and black jeans and blazer is incredible on you! The proportions are so great on those jeans, (plus you have a great shape to your legs) and with the long line of that blazer and the high neck blouse bringing attention to your face, you look about ten feet tall!!
Happy thanksgiving – by the way, I am curious, how are you fitting your new family of six into a car? Any tips?
Girrrrl! You are making me blush! Thank you! We have a minivan so it’s basically all carseats in the back. It’s tight, but it works!
