1. Tree Topper Outfit

Products: Romper – Forever 21, Shoes – Forever 21, Earrings – Forever 21

What part of the Christmas tree stands out the most? The star, of course! This outfit is inspired by the tree topper gold star. Choose a solid gold dress (this is actually a romper with the look of a dress!) to go with statement shoes. We chose a neutral colored leopard print boot to complement the dress without taking away from its shine. To finish off the holiday look, choose a simple pair of textural earrings.

2. Candy Cane Outfit

Products: Shirt – Lulu’s, Skirt – Lulu’s, Boots – Revolve, Purse – Nasty Gal

Inspired by yummy holiday candies, this outfit pairs a structured white, long sleeve top with a white mini-skirt to give off winter vibes. Add a red snakeskin bootie to act as the statement piece of the outfit. Finally, choose a glittery gold purse to finish off the Christmas look. This outfit is perfect for the holidays because it doesn’t scream “Christmas” but still has holiday elements mixed with trendy pieces.
