Aside from cultivating my own Christmas traditions, making my own wrapping paper, and all of the usual reasons to love the holidays, my favorite part of this time of year is having oh so many lovely reasons to get dressed up. So far this year, I have combined my love of family traditions with a few new festive holiday looks. Every year since I was a child, my family goes downtown Chicago to the iconic Lawry’s restaurant to celebrate my dad’s birthday and the holidays. This was the perfect excuse to wear my fabulous Chic Wish skirt – this skirt is even more wonderful in person, and in fact, about 15 people stopped me in the restaurant to comment on it! Next, I attended my family’s business Christmas party where I wore a red dress with red lips. Finally today I had our annual Christmas brunch, only this year it was more special with the addition of my daughter, niece, and nephew. I paired my Forever 21 skirt with black lace DKNY skirt.

While I have been wearing a lot of conventional red and black so far, I am really loving Jaclyn from Beauty and the Binky’s green festive look. What are some of your favorite holiday looks? Comment below and feel free to leave a picture!
