Holiday Party Outfit Ideas

Thanksgiving is only days away, which means the holidays craziness is about to go into overdrive. Before the chaos officially kicks in, I’m taking a little time today to consider my holiday party outfit options.

After first taking stock of what’s already in my closet, I’ve decided to go with a few festive separates this year. An over the top silver sequin statement jacket like the one above seems like a great place to start. Pop it over almost any all black outfit and you’re good to go!

Other great options are this velvet kimono and this beaded and metallic coat.

Time is flying by, as it always does this time of year. My oldest daughter is coming home from college tomorrow for Thanksgiving. It’ll be so nice to have all three under the same roof again. Have a great one!

Christmas In Connecticut

I love to see how other people decorate their homes for the holidays. Not only do I get a few ideas for our own holiday decor, but it’s also a helpful reminder for me to just get started! That’s why I was pretty excited to see One Kings Lane president Debbie Probst’s home all decked out for Christmas.

Having seen Debbie’s beautiful house in person last year, it was very motivating to see how just a few simple additions can make a home feel so festive. I especially love the idea of adding greenery to a mantle or staircase, something I’ve never attempted to do, despite loving the look so much. Since we finally caved and bought a faux, pre-lit tree last year (best decision ever) I might look into adding a little fresh greenery for the seasonal fir scent. Although last year, this candle seemed to do the trick!

On an entirely separate note, Debbie’s federal style mirror over her fireplace is something I’ve been personally hunting for ever since visiting this gorgeous house back in April.
