O Christmas Tee

It's finally December, which means it's time for holiday-themed outfits! Hooray! As pretty much anyone can guess, I love dressing thematically and there's no better time to do that than the winter holidays. I'm starting off my collection of seasonal outfit posts with this cute-'n-casual ensemble. 

Although I always feel like I *need* new Christmas items, I'm wearing a skirt from last year (ModCloth just came out with a Nutcracker version) and a pair of heels I snagged a few months ago on Zulily (which happen to be available again!). I could've gone a bit more low-key with the shoe choice, but I've been dying to try these out. Plus, they go really well with this adorable tee-shirt from Crazy4Me Style. 

This tee is soft and comfy and fits true to size. Literally the only negative thing I can say (and it's about me, not the shirt) is that my chest kind of distorts the image of the girl! (#bustygirlproblems) Aside from that though, I really love this piece and it's definitely going to be a go-to for me over the next few weeks.

I guess this outfit is sort of a lot – especially since it's just three pieces – but I think it'd be really cute for a holiday celebration with friends, decorating the tree, baking cookies, or really anything that doesn't require dressing to the nines.

Have you started your holiday merriment yet? I'm hoping to get my tree up this weekend or early next week. I also enjoyed a really fun Christmas tea with my mom and grandma yesterday, which was such a nice break from the usual mundane workday. At least I have my evenings free now to get in the Christmas spirit! Plus... we're supposed to get snow today, eek!

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Corvette

Happy Monday! It's hard to believe it's already the end of November. The holidays are right around the corner, and the show I'm in opens this weekend. It's been really difficult to find time to take photos (especially because the weather has been pretty crummy), but I was finally able to style this adorable tee from Crazy4Me Style!

You might recognize Yasmina from Instagram, but you might not know that she has her own cute clothing line! This pink corvette tee is just one of a few items I have from her shop. It's a really nice quality t-shirt and is so easy to style with skirts (one of my go-tos as of late!). If you plan to order one for yourself, note that it does fit on the tight side. Yasmina has size charts for each of her items, which is super helpful. I ended up going with the XL on this one and the fit is perfect. I went fairly simple with the styling of this top, but there are tons of other ways that you can wear it.

Did you buy anything fun this past weekend? There are lots of good Cyber Monday deals today too, but I'm pretty much spent (literally and figuratively). I mostly bought gifts for other people, but I still have a bit of shopping left to do. Luckily, I still have some time!

Have a great start to your week!
