THE DRESSING â—½ TIPS
Holiday Hues
by Marcy Lytle
Pink for Christmas? Why, yes! And this fun scarf is a great addition, rust and pink together. Pink is so pretty during the holidays, with jewelry, with scarves, under jackets and over button ups. Grab a pink sweater, if you dare…
I love all of the Christmas colors, don’t you? And it’s fun to wear them in our accessories, the coats we put on, the tops we wear, or the bags we carry…and even our shoes! Hoping to share some holiday inspiration this month, as we get dressed up to enjoy the season!
​
Argyle Sweater – This is a classic, isn’t it? I think you can find an argyle sweater every winter. I love this one, from Cider Clothing, a great online store. It’s so cozy and dresses up jeans for a day out shopping or a family gathering.
A Blue Coat – I feel like we usually gravitate toward black or brown when it comes to coats. Have you considered blue? This one is from Amazon and I have enjoyed it all season. Blue goes with gold, red, black, green…well, just everything!
​
Brown jacket – A faux leather jacket is a fun item to have in your closet, and there are lots of brown choices out there this season! Wear it open or button it up, and you’ll feel dressed to the nines for whatever is on your calendar this December.
​
Green sweater – This is another sweater from Cider Clothing and I just love the color and the V stripe, and it’s so cute under or over, however you want to wear it. Green is my favorite color of the season.
​
Navy silk – I found this silk piece, actually a shirt dress, on clearance at Madewell over a year ago, and it’s a staple. It dresses up everything. Wear it to a Christmas concert or a dinner out with friends, or with just him! It’s so elegant…
Cozy pajamas – There’s a line of clothing from Walmart JWD that has the coziest pajamas and they’re so affordable. They feel like a warm blanket, and they’re so, so soft. Cozies are the best, by the fire, on Christmas morning.
Plaid – Another classic, and this sweater is a blue and red plaid from Cider Clothing. It’s a favorite, oversized, and so pretty. It dresses up jeans for any occasion at all, and keeps you warm and smiling…that’s all!
​
That red dress – Oh, my goodness. This is just a ribbed knit dress from Walmart, and it can be worn so many ways – even with sneakers for a dressed down look. Or add tights and boots and make reservations for a festive dinner out.
What’s your favorite Christmas color to wear?
Do tell…
