Happy Monday, Everyone!
I hope each of you had a magical holiday season and were able to celebrate around friends, family and/or loved ones.
I was fortunate to be surrounded by my entire family this year, including my niece and 3 nephews, which made it extra special for me. There truly is nothing like being with those whom you care about most and having little ones running around...it's really all I ever need for Christmas.
Our family tradition is getting dressed up on Christmas Eve and having a big, formal dinner following cocktails and a plethora of hors d'oeuvres. This year, was the first in many where I hadn't chosen to wear a strapless or sleeveless dress, as to not freeze, and it was 75 degrees in VA, naturally! ;)
I paired a fitted black turtleneck, that I’ve had for years and is a favorite of mine, with a full, flirty and bouncy black skirt, which I refer to as my "big girl tutu," a new pair of red faux suede heels and a variety of gold and sparkle affordable accessories.
My entire look cost under $85, and it could easily double as a NYE look by simply adding a bit more sparkle and switching out the heels.
Below, I break it all down for you along with some pictures from our celebration. Enjoy! :)
