I absolutely love red and tweed for the holiday season! Something about the two together just completely puts me in the spirit! – And oddly enough makes me want to start wrapping gifts! This adorable top and skirt are from the cutest boutique Morning Lavender, which offers some of the most beautiful feminine lace and tulle pieces that you just have to get your hands on for this season! Whether for gifting, or wearing yourself at your holiday gatherings, their skirts are all must-haves! Pricing is on-point, for the quality and fit of the product and their team is the sweetest.
So for this look I styled their Ellie Burgundy Lace Crop Top in a size M with their Kira Ivory Plaid Skirt in size L. I selected these sizes based on how I wanted the pieces to fit. Their sizing guide and customer review sections are super helpful when it comes to size selection. The top has a full back zip closure which I prefer on lace tops, along with a partial lining. There is slight give to the material and it lays beautifully. And for the skirt; it is perfect for winter! It’s thick enough and my favorite part, it is not at all see through as it is lined so you don’t have to worry with spanx or a slip – it is not see through even though its white – woohoo!
I think this is the cutest holiday look and would look fabulous day to night! I have added my OTK boots in black and a classic bag to complete the ensemble, without overdoing it. And for makeup, I kept it pretty neutral with my newest lippie obsession by Charlotte Tilbury.
One of my absolute favorite accessories to wear in the winter time is a beret! I know, they aren’t exactly the most practical, but this tiny hat sure packs a major style punch! I’m sharing one of my favorite winter ensembles with you that is made perfect with the finishing touch of a beret! In chic maroon with plaid I’ll show you how to pair this accessory seamlessly.
If you are new to the beret, and don’t want to fully commit to the style, or are not sure if its the look for you, I suggest trying a slouchy- less structured version of the beret, like this chunky knit one. It sits more relaxed on the head and requires little to no adjustments.
This look is so cute, and so much fun to wear! I love mixing textures, so here I am wearing a ribbed knit mock turtleneck from Boohoo, a wool cream and tan plaid skirt from White House Black Market, and Over-the-Knee faux suede boots from Steve Madden. The mix of colors, textures and subtle print come together to create such an effortlessly interesting ensemble! For accessories, I kept the look to a minimum with my signature Coach Dinky, and “H” initial necklace from Elizabeth Buena Ventura. The soft chunky knit beret adds the perfect finishing touch to this winter-ready look, and ties in with the color of my boots. Now all you are missing is a plate of macaroons and the Eiffel Tower in the background!
