holiday style in the tundra.
welcome to day 11 of #12daysofblogging! if you're just joining us, you can find out more about the christmas linkup here. today's prompt is "baby, it's cold outside fashion". get inspired and spread the christmas spirit! share your link below!i know a lot of you that read this little blog here understand me when i talk about the cold and its various challenges. but i know that a lot of you don't. for those of you fortunate enough to live in warmer climates, let me tell you, this whole getting dressed business becomes a doozy of a challenge when it's below zero, and snowing, and you have to go somewhere that sweatpants are not acceptable as your fashion choice.so what's a girl to do during the holidays when there are parties to go to? the only answer my friends, is layers. layers upon layers upon more layers. also tights. i've said this before and i'll say it again: tights are sweaters for your legs and should be embraced as often as possible.and thus, i present to you, erin's christmas outfit of 2013:
i should also mention that most of my christmas parties are with family. and for some reason that makes me feel like i have license for a little fashion adventure, hence the faux leather shorts. because if you can't wear faux leather shorts at christmas, when can you, eh?but you see, it is possible to not look like a marshmallow when you layer for cold weather. i'm wearing a (thin) long sleeved shirt under a wool cardigan, and i have thick tights on under faux leather leggings. if i was feeling really chilly, i probably would have thrown some socks on underneath those booties too.
(i am definitely laughing at my husband here, not pose laughing for the camera)
and to make it a real holiday outfit, i'm a big fan of working in some festive colors like red, gold, burgundy or green. i could have done black tights with a green shirt, or all black with a red cardigan on top too. no shame in bringing the christmas colors into the mix, it's the time to be festive!
i'm wearing: sweater, banana republic (old) || black shirt, banana republic (old) || faux leather shorts, forever 21 (similar here) || tights, target || booties, target (similar here)
hmmm, this may have been my very first style post on here....thoughts/feeling/concerns about this type of thing? any interest in hearing me awkwardly describe my style choices again on the blog?
