3 outfits til Christmas
Another festive outfit. I wore this to a family holiday party. I found the red velvet skating skirt at the perfect time so I could wear it constantly in the days leading up to Christmas. This might be the outfit I wear on Christmas day. I have to be sure to dress warm because my boyfriend’s mother’s house is usually really cold!
vintage red velvet skating skirt: thrifted
vintage 50s Santa pin: Sacramento Antique Fair
60s lace blouse with peter pan collar: c/o Retro Spex Vintage
black oxford heels: Payless
black tights: drug store
vintage Catalina sweater: etsy seller kettlestar. Unfortunately it’s a wee bit tight on me, but it isn’t stopping me from wearing it. I love it too much! I think it’s from the 40s. Aren’t the metal stud buttons unique? Here’s a pic of the tag:
If I don’t post before Christmas, have a great one everybody!

I’d definitely wear that red skirt every day too if it was in my closet! Lovely sweater, it’s a gorgeous pattern and I’m a huge fan of novelty prints. My parents’ house is the same way– always have to wear layers to stave off the chill while back at home.

Oh that lovely skirt reminds me of one I had when I was 17… love it!! You’ve made a very Christmassy outfit look wonderful (not normally my thing)!
Have a lovely Christmas
