There is no place that I’d rather be than home for the holidays. Every year my parents have tried to get us to go forgo the normal Christmas traditions and take a family vacation instead and every year my sisters and I say no. To me there is just something special about being home for the holidays.
Growing up my family always decorated the Christmas tree the Sunday after Thanksgiving. That tradition still holds true but this year it was just me, mom and dad since both sisters moved to Chicago and Austin. It definitely was a little sad putting up all of the decorations without them!
My favorite part about putting up the Christmas decorations each year is that we all would put on our Christmas pajamas, blare Christmas music and stop for hot chocolate breaks. It’s a tradition that I will no doubt hopefully one day share with my own little family.
A lot of my mom’s home decor is older or from Homegoods so it is not linkable but I was able to link some stuff for you guys and also went ahead and linked items that I put on my wish list for my own home next year! if you need a little more inspiration I shared a holiday decor gift guide here and whole round up of decor items here.
When the weather starts to change so do my favorite pieces in my closet. Instead of gravitating towards my light weight pencil skirts and dress pants for work, it’s usually suede or corduroy for this girl. I picked up this skirt recently and have had so much fun styling it different ways for work.
Depending on how laid back your office is, another way to style this skirt would be with a pair of riding boots and a button down. Honestly the possibilities are endless which is a total selling point when you are purchasing an item. As long as I can think of at least 2-3 outfits that I know that I can make with the item, I can justify buying it.
Speaking of multiple functionality pieces, this sweater that you saw me wearing in my first styled look is the perfect length as it is long enough to wear with leggings and can easily be dressed up or down! My personal favorite way to style sweaters for the office is layered with a button down so that the collar and sleeve detail add in something unexpected. The star detail on this one adds in something special for the holidays that I couldn’t pass up!
While I wanted to share how to style a corduroy skirt, both of these looks could also be paired with corduroy pants as well. I have corduroy pants in grey, olive, burgundy and black. I’ve built quite the collection but I just find them so much more comfortable than slacks! If you are looking to add some corduroy into your work wear, here are a few other options that I am loving!
It’s a tradition in the Adams’ household to put up the Christmas tree the Sunday after Thanksgiving so today is FINALLY the day! We put our Christmas cozies on (even if it is 80 degrees) and blare Christmas music while we pull out all of the holiday decorations and get the house looking like a winter wonderland. Most of the items you will see below are either already in our home or in my closet plus they are almost all under $50!
