I’m not someone to go over the top with my Holiday outfits. I like a subtle nod to the given holiday without looking like someone threw up the holiday colors all over me. 😂 This outfit is the perfect example of dressing for a holiday, but in a subtle way. I’ve got the red, white, and blue with my blue top and jeans, white sandals, and red lipstick… but this is an outfit I could wear anytime without any issue.
And that’s always my advice when people ask me what to wear for a Holiday… wear something you’d wear for another event, but pull in the appropriate colors in a subtle way.
I found this top at Target, and it’s really, really cute! The bodice is ribbed, and the flutter sleeves are made of a more smooth material so there is a great contrast between the two textures. Plus I find the sleeves to be the perfect in between of making a statement while not going overboard.
And, of course, if you saw my ABLE try on, then you know these sandals are an instant favorite of mine. These jeans too… they were my favorite pair from the recent updates I did to my Madewell Denim Guide.
Outfit Details:
Top (XS) | Jeans (25. Sized down) | Sandals (TTS) | Sunglasses | Earrings | Lipstick (Shade is Zip) | Necklace
