Christmas Red and Plaid

Merry Christmas week, friends! Are you as excited for the Christmas festivities to begin as I am?! Now that I’m finally home for the holidays (finals are OVERrr), it’s starting to finally feel real!  Prior to getting home though, I made sure my work wear felt extra festive with pieces like this vibrant Christmas red skirt and green plaid button up. It made my time at the office feel extra bright and cheery during the holidays!

Bright red feels like the quintessential Christmas color to me. You too? So it was only natural to use it in this outfit to make it feel extra Christmas-y.

During the holidays, I love to wear red to work. It makes my outfits feel that much more festive and puts me into a jolly mood.

Bright red skirt. Check! Bright red purse. Check! Bright red (and oh-so-cozy) scarf. Check! Check! Check!

This skirt is my favorite find of the season. It fits like a glove, and honestly fits better than any other skirt I own.

It’s got the perfect fluted shape to it and the prettiest rolled hem detail too. Not to mention that it’s a beautiful red color.

I paired the bright red skirt with a green and navy plaid button up to bring in some darker tones to the look.

I love anything and everything plaid this time of year, and this plaid button up is no exception! I also love how Liz styled it here with jeans and a white sweater, and how Julia style it here with a beautiful mustard yellow skirt. It’s such a versatile piece for any fall or winter wardrobe.

And no Christmas outfit is complete without a cozy knit scarf and a little glitz and sparkle!

I also tried out this fun lip color this season and love how bright and vibrant the red is. If you’re looking for a gloss-like lip color, I’d recommend you give it a try!

What about you? How are you making your wardrobe feel extra festive this season?
