Happy Friday!!! I have not been this excited for a Friday in a while. Not only is it the Friday before Christmas, but it is the end to a long week and looking forward to an easier week ahead. I was not able to pull together a post on Wednesday due to my busy schedule so I am going to try and make up for it today. I won't bore you with my week's activities (which consisted of work, work and more work) but instead intend to dazzle you with some great looks for the holiday weekend. For my H54F I put together five looks to cover all the colors of the Christmas rainbow. Let's get to it!
1. CASUAL CHRISTMAS
This is for those of you looking for comfort this Christmas. I generally go more comfortable on Christmas day as it is historically the least formal gatherings that day. It does not mean, however, you cannot have a few style points. I found this Free People sweater and it looks like I want to live in it. Essentially like wearing a fashionable blanket. Make it in red? Done! Paired with Banana Republic skinny jeans it's pretty plain until you accessorize. I loved this fringe gold necklace and chunky bangle for a little sparkle. Top it off with this metallic shoe (who says you can't mix metals?) for a holiday surprise.
2. BOYFRIEND CHRISTMAS
For those of less on the girl side I am always down for a blazer and blouse. I love this plaid top from J. Crew. Covers all the warm colors of Christmas and pairs perfectly with the burgundy corduroy pants. If you aren't about sporting the true Christmas red, burgundy is going to be your new best friend. To make it a true masculine look you need a blazer. Layering is great to pull off the masculine look and adds some fun dimension. I did add some feminine touches with sparkly earrings and bracelet but toned it down with a simple black heel. Opt for a slimmer heel to to avoid looking like you literally raided your boyfriend's closet.

3 & 4 LEATHER CHRISTMAS
Ok so I am counting this as two looks. I really could not decide between these two tops. I am obsessed with velvet right now and this lace top is so interesting I had to show case it. I like balancing the feminity of these tops with the harsher leather leggings. I love a leather legging and I think they are more versatile than you might expect. These BCBG high ankle heels help edge out the look . These two tops are pretty much stand outs on their own but a little sparkle to the ears and this amazing cuff are all the accessories you need.

5. DRESSY CHRISTMAS
Last but certainly not least, the dressiest of the bunch. This skirt lept out at me and I knew I had to show it to you all. Red is the common color to show Christmas but green gets left out and it can be stunning too. This high waisted, shiny skirt is made to be seen. Due to the skirt being the show stopper piece, I kept the top relatively simple and elegant. A few small, but sparkly jewels and these ballerina looking d'orsay heels. You have to wear a skirt to show off the delicate wrap around detail.

There you have it. I think, if I weren't pregnant, I would choose the leather Christmas as my option. I love the combination of a rock n' roll pant with ladylike top. Plus those BCBG heels are killer. What is your favorite? How do you dress for Christmas?
Leave me a comment below I would love to hear from you.
Always, linking up with these lovelies!
