Holiday Outfits: What To Wear When There's Nothing To Wear

Ever since I was little, my mom and I would go shopping for the perfect dress to wear for our holiday celebrations. Looking back, none of them were ever near ‘perfect’ (they usually involved puffy sleeves and loads of red taffeta) but they would always add an extra air of importance to the time of year. 

This year, I have a trifecta of get-ups I plan to wear: one for a holiday outing with friends, one for a holiday party, and one for Christmas day.
