Can you believe Christmas is in two days? Two days! It literally felt like yesterday was just Halloween. Nevertheless, I can't complain. Christmas has got to be my all time favorite holiday. I mean, how could you not love the Christmas films, bright lights, decorations, and just the genuine, positive vibes during this time of year? Of course I cannot forget the time off from school or work and spending quality time with friends and family. That's always a bonus.
When it comes to choosing an outfit for Christmas Day, I always keep two things in mind: class and comfort. Now don't get me wrong, lounging around in my pajamas Christmas Day would be awesome, but that ship sailed when I entered the teenage years. Plus, there's just something I love about dressing up. Maybe it's because I feel most confident when I know I'm wearing a killer outfit.
That's why I adore this outfit. It's comfortable, it's classy, and it makes me feel bad*ss! What more can you ask for? But, I do have a confession to make. This entire outfit is from Forever 21! I'm practically a walking Forever 21 advertisement. But what can I say? Their clothes are super affordable without skimping on style.
As you can tell from the picture above, it's quite cold outside. (If you look closely enough, I may happen to resemble a foreign relative of Rudolph with my beet red nose.) I bought this dress back in September when the temperature was still warm, so I added a high neck, long sleeve top underneath for some added warmth and chose over-the-knee boots to shield my legs from the cold. All in all, this outfit could be transformed to suit a multitude of temperatures, which is a total money saver if you're budget conscious like me!
I apologize for this post being all over the place! My mind can't seem to process thoughts because it feels like it is running in a million different directions. That being said, I am SO excited for Christmas break. This time off is much needed so that I can recharge and relax. Plus, it means more time that I'll have to dedicate to my blog, which makes me ecstatic! Thank you for reading and I wish you a very, merry Christmas and a happy New Year! Don't forget to spend time with the people you love, relax, and laugh at every chance you get.
Much love,
Gabriella xx

That dress looks lovely on you. Shame I don't like the feel of the material because I would be tempted to search for it.
