Holiday Outfit Pinspiration

December 12, 2016 by Virginia Evans Leave a Comment

Good morning! Today I have a little Holiday Outfit Pinspiration for you all! When I first got into fashion, I used Pinterest as a place to find and collect ideas for how to wear some of my favorite items in my closet. It inspired me to try polka dots with plaid and sparkle tank tops over button down shirts. It’s a great place to go to get ideas.

During the holiday season I find myself on Pinterest a lot, gathering ideas for decorations, DIY Gifts, and recipes for holiday meals. So, lately I have found myself going back to my Winter Fashion board and checking out the ideas I’ve collected from the past. Today I want to share a few of those Holiday Outfit ideas with you and how I recreated them using what I have. I don’t claim to have come up with any of these ideas on my own, and I will link the original if I can find it. But maybe it will inspire you to go on Pinterest and get a little Pinspiration for yourself!

Pinspiration Holiday Outfit Look #1

Holiday Look Red Puffer vest Plaid

(Pinterest, Dead link)

Recreate this Look!

I wish my recreation had more white in it, but when recreating Pinterest looks it’s good to work with what you have! I still like the effect and I never would have thought of putting them together on my own!

Plaid Shirt, JCPenney (old). Various options in widget below.

Red Puffer Vest, JCPenney. Goes on sale frequently!

Michael Kors Two-Tone Darci Watch, areatrends.com.

Stila Beso Red Liquid Lipstick, Ulta.

Pinspiration Holiday Outfit Look #2

Holiday Polka Dot Top and Herringbone Puffer Vest

(Pinterest, via Jane.com)

For this look, I had almost identical items already in my closet. The only thing I didn’t have was a cherry red sweater. So, never fear! You can do this look if you have a red long sleeve shirt! I thought it would be really lumpy over the top of the polka dot top, but it wasn’t bad! Since I had a crew neck top instead of a V-neck top, I created a V at the top with a v-shaped statement necklace.

Recreate this Look!

Polka Dot Tunic, Shein.com. Most similar polka dot top. Another in widget below.

Red Long Sleeve T-shirt, Old Navy. Red Long Sleeve Crew Neck Shirt from Target.

Herringbone Puffer Vest, Jane.com. Inspired by J.Crew Herringbone Print Vest (on sale!). Similar but Shorter Herringbone Puffer Vest.

Statement Necklace, Shinymix.com. Similar Statement Necklace (also this one).

Stila Beso Red Liquid Lipstick, Ulta.

Ok, that’s all for today! Make sure to check out my Winter Fashion pinterest board for more inspiration!

If you put together a pinspired holiday outfit, make sure to let me know in the comments below! I would love to know how you recreated your favorite pinterest outfit!

Thanks for visiting! It means so much to me!

Brown Faux Fur Vest and Flare Jeans

I love everything about fall! Here in New England it’s simply stunning. Even running errands I look around me and think, “Wow…I get to live here!” The few leaves that remain on the trees won’t last long and I can feel that chill that comes as Autumn starts to turn into Winter. For the last few years I have fought off that fall chill with puffer vests and faux fur. In New England, the warm vests came out earlier and I find that I wear one almost everyday.

This brown faux fur vest is my absolute favorite. I bought it two years ago at Forever 21 and it has been one of my favorite fall clothing items. It is the perfect brown color and the high neck makes it super cozy and warm. I haven’t featured it much on the blog (I did show one way I wore it here) because I feel bad showing an item that you can no longer purchase.

I have kept my eye on faux fur vests for the last two years, hoping that Forever 21 would it back but it never happened. Last week as I was browsing new arrivals I discovered this beauty! It’s the closest I’ve come to finding a dupe for my favorite brown faux fur vest and wanted to share with you one of the ways I wear this vest. I’m sure you remember these flare jeans from this post. They sold out quickly but I have a few other options of affordable flare jeans for you in the widget below that are still in stock.

What is your favorite item to wear as the fall chill sets in? Would you wear a brown faux fur vest? Let me know in the comments below!
