The Festive Casual

It’s official, I love the holidays. Prior to motherhood, I used to view the holidays as merely time off. Holidays mean everything now, well almost. It’s taking a break from your mundane routine to finally get some time with your loved ones. Oh and top of that it’s not just some time, in our family it means non-stop chilling with each other until our bodies suffer from fatigue. We all realize we never have these moments anymore and to soak in every last moment. I even took 5 minute showers all weekend because I didn’t want to miss out on anything. Yes I suffer from major fomo especially when it comes to being with my loved ones.

Top: I bought this ribbed turtleneck 5 years ago from Zara. It’s super warm and comfortable and literally completes every chic look. I love the turtleneck so much I have one in black. Your winter wardrobe must include a turtle neck! Yes sometimes they can be uncomfortable, but they’re warm and make all your outfits look elegant. Go out and get some! Because turtle necks are already so bold, definitely purchase them in neutral colors— they’re much more versatile and easier to wear. 

Bottoms: I just purchased these beautiful red high waisted chino pants from Zara during the Black Friday sale. They literally came in the day I was about to leave my flight and I switched the jeans out for these babies. I’m so glad I did because they curate a festive look. This red is gorgeous in the fall and for casuals!  

Shoes: I’m wearing my beige Blondo booties. These are my FAVORITE booties ever! They’re comfortable, extremely easy to walk long distances in (if you ever need to), they’re water resistant AND they look good. If I didn’t own so many black booties already, I would’ve bought another pair in black as well.
