Love that checked overcoat @GreenTealael & the sweater dress gorgeous.

As a seasonal contrast. My Christmas Day outfit. Comfortable & cool. Note the matching slides which I had from last summer & I even had a matching cross body bag from years ago. My 8yr old niece told me she didn’t like my outfit because it wasn’t Christmassy enough. Lol!

well i love ur xmas outfit! it would totally fit in for my fams xmas day morning and afternoon parties...about 7-8 years ago we all sort of all silently decided to show up xmas morning at the in-laws in our pjs or other loungewear...we stayed this way throughout the morning into the afternoon party at my SIL's. lol

but we would change into something more presentable for the xmas dinner party whereever it was held hahahha

the beauty of wearing comfy clothes at xmas: as elle woods would say: they aren't as "binding" (i.e., room AND camouflage for food bellies!)

Cool linen pants with elastic & drawstring waist for the win! Our Christmases are pretty relaxed too though not pj relaxed 🤣. But with young children jumping about on & around you, mucking around with them & being inside & outside more formal clothing just doesn’t work. Plus it’s too darn hot here.

Was a little dressier the year before but the younger children weren’t there.

This was one of my cyber sale bargains.

one of my post-holiday sale purchases: a faux leather trench coat.

i first ordered it in XS, bit it seemed a little big so i exchanged it for this XXS...still feels a little big in the shoulders and the sleeves are def too long.

undecided if i am going to keep it. The Kid says its too Matrix-y and Mr. says its giving Inspector Gadget vibes 😂😂😂😂😂😂

another online sale purchase i am not sure about!

its a gold-ish, ruffled, asymmetrical, one-shoulder top.

the listing called it a "statement top". nobody in the house is a fan, but i really like it for some reason...i think with a pair of black wide or straight leg pants with stilettos i could pull it off. BUT i have no occasion to wear it in the horizon. im probably gonna keep it since it was only $15 (Canadian!) on sale.

[Arabesque 7,468]

For $15 it’s probably worth keeping it for a while & see if you do wear it. If you don’t you can always donate it. I donated an off the shoulder top which had gorgeous guipure lace inserts in the sleeve. It just didn’t work with anything in my wardrobe. Sigh! I’d put it on & then take it off again.

I love a leather trench real or faux. I had a long black one & a calf length red one. Of course both too big now but I loved them so much. Felt so take n sh*t strong in them. I used to think Spike in Buffy & I wore it when I saw the third Matrix movie film when it came out. Now you know how long I had the black one 😁😁.

a couple of my long list of clothing weaknesses is denim and jumpsuits (i have waaay too much of both!)

but just to stay on brand...i give you my latest purchases: a denim skirt, and not one, but TWO denim jumpsuits!

now need to figure out where and when to wear these....

[Arabesque 7,468]

Love, love, love the denim skirt. The jumpsuits look great on you. The one with sleeves is my favourite. Personally I avoid jumpsuits. The whole stripping down to go to the bathroom thing. And I had a couple of close calls in public toilets back in the day trying to balance & not let the jumpsuit touch the scary floor in any way. Shudder! LOL!

There are some really lovely & tempting denim pieces about at the moment. I’m looking forward to wearing a charcoal denim trench I have which honestly I bought a couple of years ago & haven’t worn yet. I have too many clothes!
