Christmas to New Year's

I recently wore this outfit to my company Christmas party.  The event was held in a large art studio here in Athens and it was quite cold so we were encouraged to dress warmly.  Of course being the "dress for the occasion girl" that I am and it being a Christmas party sparkle and shine were a must for me!  I found this sequin bomber jacket on super sale and HAD to have it!  It was a great way to stay warm at the party but also fit the "it's the holiday's so dress up" bill too.  I'm planning on wearing it again over New Year's when The Hubs and I take our annual New Year's getaway trip.  The jacket goes really well with leather pants, like I'm wearing here, but will be equally cute over a LBD or with jeans.  Isn't it great when you love something, it's on sale, you buy it, and you realize it can be worn for several occasions?  I know I sure do!

~ What I'm Wearing ~

Sequin Bomber Jacket: Charlotte Russe (It's on sale for $20!!)

Shimmer Tank: Entourage Clothing

Faux Leather Pants: Target (These are actually leggings but I sized up so they would fit like pants. These are under $20!)

Crossbody Bag: H&M (sold out) | Identical

Leopard Pumps: Nine West (last year) | Similar

Lippie: NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Monte Carlo (This color looks great on everyone!)

Double Ring: Kendra Scott

Me and my gorgeous "side kick", model and assistant, Maggie, at our company Christmas party at Stan Mullins Art Studio. Yes, she's about eight inches taller than me (and a whole lot younger!)

Sorry about the quality of these pictures.  I planed to get some better shots at the event but the lighting at the studio was not picture friendly and I had to go with the pictures The Hubs shot of me before I left the house for the evening.   I almost didn't post this outfit but I had SO MANY questions about my jacket after putting this picture of Maggie and I on Instagram I decided to go ahead and blog away! ;-)

Also, I may or may not get another blog post in this week.  I've been working at our flagship store here in Athens all week, which means I'm exhausted in the evenings, my kids are home from college, which means we are doing family stuff in the evenings, and I'm trying to wrap up the little last minute details of Christmas before the busy holiday weekend!  Are you ready?

Casual Christmas

Christmas Eve is a week away, y'all ~ and I still have SO much to do!!  We did finally get our tree up this past Sunday evening and I just started Christmas shopping on Tuesday but I took a few minutes and pulled together some easy outfits to wear for our family Christmas celebrations so getting dressed is one less thing for me to stress about.  We celebrate my family's Christmas (the Fischer's) on Christmas Eve, our own little family's Christmas (the Herrin III's) on Christmas morning and the Hubs' family's Christmas (the Herrin Jr's) on Christmas Day.  All of our celebrations are casual and relaxed, just the way I like it!  To get to be with all the people I love the most over two days is priceless and something I look forward to all year long.  Don't know what you are wearing for your Christmas get-together's?  Here are a few casual Christmas outfit ideas...
