I Feel Pretty Festive: Leopard and Plaid Holiday Looks

Hey pretties!  It’s officially December and the rush is on!  Holiday parties have already started kicking off for Craig and me. I swear they start earlier every year. But I don’t really mind, it’s kind of nice to have them spread out instead of all falling around the same time.  We’re taking a slow approach to Christmas this year and trying to enjoy everything instead of rushing through it just to check an item off a to-do list.  Which would explain why our outside lights have been a “work in progress” for the past two weeks.  Sorry neighbors!  🙂

For me, leopard and plaid has always felt really festive and special so I knew I was going to build my two new holiday party looks around this festive pattern mix.  Since all of the parties we are going to are somewhat casual, Loft ended up being the perfect solution for finding a few new pieces.  Here are the two outfits I’ll be wearing to all of our Christmas parties this year.

Outfit #1

Plaid Blouse + Pearl Necklace + Gray Jeans + Leopard Booties

My plaid blouse is running low on stock, but this ruffled one is adorable and on sale, so is this bell sleeved plaid top and this off the shoulder version.

If you don’t want to make the investment into my leopard calf hair bootiesthis pair is a bit more budget friendly, especially if these are an occasional wear item. P.S. I don’t regret the investment at all because I’ve worn the heck out of mine already!

Outfit #2

Buffalo Plaid Cape + Bar Back Tee + Pendant Necklace + Velvet Pants + Leopard Booties

I especially LOVE that this buffalo plaid is reversible.  Here it is with the smaller plaid check turned out.

This bar back tee is a piece that stands on it’s own.  You can remove the cape and still have a perfectly chic outfit!

Buffalo plaid is a winter staple!  You can try it out in other ways like this buffalo plaid ruffle shirt or a basic buffalo plaid button down.
