From Holiday Shopping to a Work Holiday Party

November 22, 2016

The holiday season can be so busy! There are tons of gatherings, holiday parties, and not to mention all that shopping to do. I don’t know about you, but while I like looking and feeling great about what I’m wearing during all those fun times, I also don’t want to have to think about it. If you’re like me, today I’m gonna help you out! I’m partnering with J.Crew Factory to show you a couple of looks to get you through some holiday activities.

J.Crew Factory is killing it this season! They have so many pieces that are perfect for a variety of holiday activities, taking you from casual to dressy activities for all your holiday style needs. Today I’ll show you how to take one top and wear it for errands and then to a holiday party!

ALSO, starting today, everything is 50% off + FREE SHIPPING on orders $50+!

Outfit #1: Holiday Shopping

This top is thick and sturdy without being rigid, which makes it really nice to layer with. Unlike many thinner plaids, this shirt just stays where you want it to. I also like that I can wear it with leggings! I’m normally size S/M or 6/8 and got this in M.

I paired it with a sleek puffer vest for a cute outfit for running around town for holiday errands. You could also wear it to a cozy holiday gathering. I’m wearing the vest in S.

I’ve already told you I became obsessed with puffer vests last season, and this J.Crew Factory vest only put fuel to that fire! It is structured, but thin, giving you a sleek line while still being layered and cozy. Basically, it’s awesome. It comes in 5 colors (HERE) and 2 prints (HERE)!

Outfit #2: Office Holiday Party

I love pairing this plaid shirt with more feminine pieces, like this lace pencil skirt and crystal statement necklace. Those special details glam up a plaid shirt! To give the outfit a little extra oomph I added a leopard print pump for a fun office appropriate holiday look.

If it’s colder where you live, you can definitely do this look with black tights!

Lastly, since my sister has gotten gifts for my brother from J.Crew Factory for multiple years, and since I got a few gifts for friends from there last year also, I’ve got two gift guides for you! J.Crew Factory’s clothes tend to make great gifts as stand alone pieces, (like the vest I’m wearing above!), but they also have a ton of great statement necklaces, cold weather accessories, pajamas, and home goods that make wonderful gifts.
