With Christmas just around the corner, we all want to dress the part & embrace the spirit of this magical season. But, I have never believed that you need to spend a fortune to look festive & feel great during the holidays. In fact, I think you can get away with buying just a few key pieces to update your wardrobe for winter. So, today I’m sharing two new outfits featuring my favorite pieces from Kohl’s – everything I’m wearing here is on sale & under $50. Right now you can get an extra 20% off your purchase through 11/29 using code TURKEY20, so it’s a great time to shop & save!
I’ve always loved fair isle knits for their festive feel, but sometimes the colors & patterns can be overwhelming – so I was happy to find one in neutral tones that I can wear all season long. Unfortunately it sold out quickly during Cyber Week, but I find some similar styles that I love here, here, here & here. Other sweaters I love include this cable-knit hoodie (bought for myself in gray), this knotted sweater (the emerald is so gorgeous!) & this sherpa-lined cardigan (love the buffalo plaid!). I added blush accents to this casual look with a cozy beanie & quilted bag…and I further embraced the velvet trend with these amazing boots.
What I’m wearing:
c/o LC Lauren Conrad Beanie, c/o Apt. 9 Fringe Scarf, c/o SO Fair Isle Sweater, c/o Apt. 9 Shirt,
c/o Levi’s Jeans, c/o Simply Vera Vera Wang Boots, c/o Apt. 9 Velvet Bag (another option here)
Many of you have mentioned that you need more coverage for evening holiday looks because you live in a colder climate. So often, I will opt for separates over a dress because you can wear a cozy sweater with a festive skirt & stay warm all night long. This velvet skirt is a must-have – the color is so striking & the elastic waist makes it super comfortable too! In addition to this dark green, it comes in black or navy and would also be gorgeous paired with this shimmery blouse & these festive pumps. I wore it for a date night out with this soft slouchy sweater (which can be worn up on both shoulders) for a relaxed but feminine look. See more great sale finds here!
What I’m wearing:
c/o Jennifer Lopez Sweater, c/o Chaps Pleated Velvet Skirt (also in petite),
c/o Style Charles Metallic Heels, c/o Simply Vera Vera Wang Sparkle Clutch,
c/o Simply Vera Vera Wang Pearl Earrings, c/o Simply Vera Vera Wang Pearl Bracelet

GIRL! You look SO gorgeous in both looks… like radiating. I love how easy yet insanely gorgeous the second look is. I basically want to buy the entire outfit — earrings included — to replicate.

You look gorgeous on each of these outfits! You are a beautiful women! Hope you are enjoying your time with your parents!
I’m having problems trying to access each of the item you have in your blog today. When I click the options from Kohls is showing me a blank page. Does anyone has this problem!
I’m so sorry Millie – are you having problems clicking on the links in the post or on the photos in the widget below?
Clicking on the links in the post. The photos in the widget below is fine. Thank you for your help!
That’s so strange – it is working on my end and I just had my husband test it on his computer too. Have you tried right clicking and opening the link in a new tab?
Doing the right clicking I was able to open the link in a new tab, thank you so much for this class. I learn something today. So you can see how much I know about computers. Again, thank you so much!
Haha so glad you got it to work – you had me worried!
Absolutely love it!!

What a gorgeous, chic holiday outfit! I love the cream sweater with the skirt. I want to get the sweater to wear with deep green velvet pants. How was the sizing?
I’m wearing a small here – I went up a size so I could get a more slouchy fit.
