Happy happy happy December: the BEST month of the year!! When everyone is cheery, hot chocolate and Christmas music is socially acceptable, cookies are in abundance, and there are PARTIES GALORE!!!

With all of these exciting events to celebrate the season, sometimes it can feel overwhelming to assemble a stylish, conventional, and appropriate outfit. Lucky for you, this little college freshman dreams of dinner parties, and I have all the style tips for this winter season to keep you merry, bright, and oh-so chic!

PREPPY & CLASSIC; from dinner at Grandma’s to the after party!

I am absolutely in love with the timeless look of pearls-on-black, and the chunky boots give this sweet look a fun bit of edge! Alice + Olivia is my favorite designer of all time- and I was not disappointed by her holiday collection, featuring this adorable puffy sleeve/high neck blouse & flirty mini skirt!!! This look can be so easily recreated- just follow the same color scheme and classic feel- then make it your own! I think this look would be perfect for a family holiday party where you want to keep it modest, but still trendy for all the pics! QUICK TIP: Add tights & a neutral peacoat over this for colder weather!

I’m dreaming of… AN OFF-WHITE CHRISTMAS

Cream may just be my current favorite winter color… look how classic!!! I love the contrast of a long sleeve mini dress; pair it one with the subtle sparkle of gold accessories for an elegant look! All of these options from Revolve are classy yet modern, allowing for you to stun any room effortlessly! The ribbon-themed accessories add a sweet Christmas touch, don’t you think?

SILVER BELLS…it’s party time in the city!

This look may just be my favorite… I saw this dress on Revolve and my jaw dropped! It’s flirty, fun, & SO festive for any occasion that you want to stand out!!! I love the silver accents in the dress, and using accessories like silver jewelry and heels just bring out the shine even more. The high neck definitely calls for a sassy high pony in my opinion!

I hope y’all enjoy some of my favorite classy holiday looks for this season! Comfy, casual, Christmas morning looks coming later 😉

Simply,

Sydney
