How To Look Festive Without Overdoing It


 
Now most people will refrain completely from wearing red and green together in fear of looking like Christmas threw up on them, but not me!  Paired the right way with subtle tones, red and green could actually look quite cute paired together.  This outfit would be perfect for a Christmas party as it is super festive yet comfortable at the same time. 
 
 What I think works best when pairing these two colors together is the tones of these colors.  This romper features a dark, olive green color and pops of white, so the green isn't too overwhelming.  Had this romper been bright green, it probably would look like Christmas had an accident. To incorporate the red color of the famous festive duo, I chose a red handbag rather than another clothing piece.  By doing this, the colors are more broken up and don't look too intense.
 
 
As for shoes, these H&M black ankle boots are SO comfortable.  I'm quite a newbie to heels, so chunky boots are my go-to until I find the courage to wear proper heels.  Obviously tights are a must being it is December, so black tights help to balance out the colors of this outfit.
 

So there we have it! Finally an outfit that you can wear during the Christmas season without looking like a total nut.  If you're not rocking an ugly Christmas sweater, definitely try to use this outfit as a guide to looking festive and fun for your next Christmas event.  Don't forget to snap, tweet, or tag me on Instagram a picture of you strutting your festive outfit for this jolly season! And comment below what you are most excited for this holiday season!
Much love,
