Holiday Outfit Inspiration

The holiday season is here and I couldn’t be more excited to share with you four holiday inspired looks. These classic looks can take you from Christmas party to New Years party with simple changes!

This outfit is truly stunning from head to toe. The sequin and pearl detail on the top is to die for. It has a comfortable cotton back and runs true to size. It looks gorgeous paired with these velvet paper bag waist pants but could also be paired with skirts, coated jeans, faux leather pants, really so many options!

I love the warm texture of the velvet pants and with so much detail on the top, you truly don’t need much in the way of accessories. This top really is great alone.

Shop this look and other items that would look great with it here:

Classic holiday style with a tartan halter and pull on satin midi skirt! Both items run slightly generous in size, wearing a 2 in the top and an XS in the skirt. For reference, I’m 5’2 and currently a 2/4.

This skirt could be paired with so many items, try a graphic tee to make it more casual, or pair it with the sequin top from above. It’s truly versatile, so comfortable and the color is gorgeous. Definitely a show stopper!

What’s more holiday inspired than Tartan. This halter scream Holiday Cheer and I love that! The bow back detail is the perfect touch. It has a slightly boxy fit but looks great tucked in, or more casual with velvet leggings, you could also dress it up for work with a blazer.

Another spin on the satin midi skirt. Loving it paired with this winter white blazer and white bodysuit. To add a pop of color, I paired my pink pumps and statement earrings.

Sizing: Skirt size down one | Bodysuit: if in between go up | Blazer TTS | Size up 1/2 size in the shoes

Had to save this one for last, I’m sure you can see why!

Full sequin pants! So fun and sassy and definitely a showstopper! These run true to size and have a nice high rise. I have them paired with one of my favorite satin camis that comes in a eight colors, and a tuxedo velvet blazer. This outfit screams fun and could totally work for a Christmas party or even New Years Eve (change the color of the cami).

Change the look of these pants completely by pairing them with an tunic sweater and either flats or a classic black pointed toe heel.

Styling a Leopard Skirt

This month I’ve teamed up with Olive Boutique to share with you how I style their satin leopard skirt. This piece is so sassy and surprisingly versatile! Perfect for date night, a holiday event, and can even be dressed down for a casual outing. If you like it, you’ll definitely love other pieces on their site and for the next few days you can get 15% off your entire order with code KRISTY15 at checkout! Expires November 15th.

When I saw this skirt I knew I needed to pair it with my new combat boots. This pairing might be one of my favorites! The shoes run TTS, they’re very comfortable and on trend. I can’t wait to style them more. My leather jacket is sold out but I’m linking a great option. It’s not the same style but it’s so cute, has great reviews and is under $100. You can shop the rest of this look with these links

America’s Best Toy Shop

Toys! Something this mama knows a lot about! As a mom of three at completely different ages, I appreciate that Walmart carries something for each of them. From Lego sets to Unicorns and everything in between, I can count on Walmart to have something for every stage and every interest. I especially love that Walmart is now offering free 2-day delivery on orders over $35 with no membership fee! I’m all about the fast free delivery!

Caleb at age 6 almost 7, is really into building sets and Walmart always has just the set he’s wanting. Caleb goes from one interest to the other rather quickly and we can always count on Walmart to have the latest toy that he’s been dreaming of. Here are a few things he has and a few things from his wish list (click the icon to shop the item):

Kinsley’s dress | Kinsley’s Unicorn |

My sweet Kinsley at age 3 loves everything girly. Give her something pink and sparkly and she’s in heaven. Kinsley just got this unicorn and it couldn’t be more perfect for her. It lights up, it talks and it wants you to do it’s make up. Basically a unicorn version of her. She adores this toy but also loves these (click the icon to shop):

Kolette just a week and a half way from being 9 months is standing up and walking with assistance and loves lights, sounds and textures. Walmart has so many options for this stage of life. Here are a few great items to consider (click the icon to shop):
