Christmas Day Outfit Ideas

Hello everyone! Today's post is going to be about what to wear on Christmas Day. You can wear these to Christmas parties, or family gatherings, and ideas are for people who spend Christmas in their PJs.

Outfit number 1: This is quite casual, but is super cute. Cardigans and infinity scarves are in right now, and a great color to wear in December is maroon, because it's cute and trendy, but also really festive.




Outfit number 2: The is the most dressy of them all, and its a beautiful plaid pattern. It's also the most festive, in my opinion because of the red and black. It has a really cute shape. I would pair this with black sheer tights (because its cold here) and black ankle booties. Curled hair would look amazing as well.


Outfit number 3: This is outfit is really cozy, but also looks quite dressy, I think. I would wear this to a family gathering or to go out shopping. This look is also very practical because again, it's COLD here. I think this would look really good with some black skinny jeans and short ankle booties again.



Outfit number 4: The final outfit. This outfit is essentially, just pajamas. My family has a tradition, where we each get new pajamas for Christmas, and we open them on Christmas Eve. Then, the next day we open presents in our new PJs. This particular outfit looks a bit more put together, so it would be good for staying home on Christmas, and watching Christmas movies in. The necklace is even a little reindeer. How cute!





That's all for now, Alexa
P.S. I got all of my pictures from Pinterest, so I'm not sure where everything is from. These are just for inspiration.

Who am I?

Three words to describe me are: ambitious, adventurous, and artsy. I think that I am different online than I am in real life. I am more outgoing, and more likely to express my opinions. When I talk face to face with people, I don't want anyone to get angry with me, or start an argument. When I am online, I have more courage to express my beliefs, but still be polite. I also feel like I can talk about my hobbies and passions online, without being ridiculed for them.
An avatar of myself, that makes my forehead look big.
