Fun, Flirty, & Festive




I wore this lace dress for Christmas last year (this is how I styled it). It was a gift from my bff. I dressed it down a bit this time around, but still kept it festive. I think I could probably get away with wearing it two years in a row which saves me $$$$! The boots were a gift from my cousin (this year). She updated my old, torn up, steven wedge boots...the ones I didn't want to part ways with, but I'm extremely happy and grateful for my new pair! Hope you like this outfit! Have a wonderful last weekend before Christmas weekend:)!

  13. I love all the layering you did with the dress and the chunky statement necklace! Also, I'm jealous of your boots! I've been debating whether or not to get it! It looks so cute the way you're wearing it.

    1. Thank you so much girl! You should definitely get them...maybe they'll go on sale after the holidays?! I wore out my first pair. You can wear them with just about anything. They're not really trendy...so you don't have to worry about them going out of style. I think it's a classic staple piece that belongs in your closet:)!

    Why do women want a bun on their head when they look attractive letting their hair down?

    1. It's easier to put your hair in a bun....and I personally love it, but you're entitled to your own opinion:)!

  59. I must say, I think you stepped up your game this year! Definitely love this outfit better than your last years! (Not that last year is ugly. It's definitely cute in a different way, but this year it seems...crisp? I don't know how to explain, but I just love it :) )
