Green With Envy

My Week of Holiday Outfits

Outfit #2 – Dressing Up Pants

THE CANVAS –

Shirt : Nordstrom (old) ~ Satin Pants : H&M (old) ~ Shoes : Steve Madden (on amazon) ~
Purse : Kate Spade ~ Long Necklace : Ann Taylor ~ Bracelet : Monica Macha ~
Earrings : Charm & Chain (very similar, a little larger) ~ Sunglasses : Michael Kors

I saw this post on one of the many blogs I read, and I immediately put together an outfit consisting around some of my favorite Evergreen accessories. I can sometimes fall into the trap of wanting to wear red, black and white to all of my Holiday events, so I thought this was a good alternative that still looked very festive. For an even more glam look, I have been DYING over this green sequined dress from ASOS.
The gold chain necklace also helped give the outfit a little drama. Since this necklace is no longer available, you could try a ribbon or even get some gold mesh from a fabric store to re-create the look.

Holiday Gift Guide

THE CANVAS –

1. Essie Nail Polish ~ 2. Kate Spade Coasters ~ 3. J.Crew Earrings ~
4. Kate Spade iPhone Case ~ 5. Voluspa Candles ~ 6. Brittany Fuson Notecards

These girly gifts can given to girlfriends, sisters, moms, etc. as gifts or stocking stuffers. The best part is that they have a wide price range from $10-$80, so there is something for every budget.
My favorite find was the notecards! I found them on a blog I read and was obsessed. I thought it would be fun to give different sets of cards to my girlfriends and find the illustration that matched their personality the closest!

Let It Snow!

THE CANVAS –

Shirt : H&M ~ Leggings : H&M ~ Sweater : Forever 21 (old) ~ Boots : Hunter via Nordstrom ~
Umbrella : Target (similar) ~ Necklace : Ann Taylor ~ Earrings : Nordstrom ~
Gloves : Nordstrom ~ Brooch : Vintage (My Grandmother’s)

“Let it snow…let it snow…let it snow!!”
I loved pairing my bright pink Hunter boots with my black and white accessories. These Hunter boots were a great alternative to the traditional UGG or Sorel. In this case, I felt like I created my outfit around this accessory. Sometimes people think that accessories only help bring together an outfit, but in some cases (like this one), they can actually be the focal point of the entire outfit and truly be the star.
