THE PERFECT HOLIDAY DRESS

If you’re like me and you don’t have any holiday travel or party plans but you still want to throw on something you feel pretty in, this is your dress. It has a long sleeve sweater knit top and a gorgeous flowy skirt that will make you feel fancy even if you decide to pair it with sneakers (or slippers). It’s stretchy and comfortable, yet it still made me feel quite glam. It’s a great option for holiday photos, or if you’re just getting dressed up with family at home. I rounded up a few more pretty holiday dress options from Chicwish (on sale now) at the bottom of this post!

I wore it this past weekend to Kennebunkport, ME with Edgar. Since the pandemic started, we’ve tried to take day trips to explore new spots both here and in California as a way to get outside (while still being safe). We drove along the coast, stumbled past this pretty little lighthouse, and walked through the charming downtown area. It’s so lovely!

Work the Maxi Skirt into your Winter Mix

I've been back in New Hampshire for the past week and I've been reminded just how cold it can be this time of year. Unless you're in my neck of the woods (Southern California) or some other warm southern state, chances are, the only pieces you're wearing right now are the ones that will keep you cozy. That being said, skirts are probably the last thing on your mind. But adding a longer maxi skirt to your rotation can be the change your wardrobe needs—and you won't freeze while wearing it.

Like this gorgeous satin option, maxi skirts can be paired with your coziest winter sweater for a look that's totally balanced. I wore this outfit for a Christmas party but it works for a day at the office or brunch with friends, too. Adding one or two maxi skirts to your cold-weather line-up can really help to freshen up your everyday style.

My Latest (Denim) Obsession

Is your closet is lacking a certain staple (ahem... the perfect denim skirt), then you've come to the right place. This tie-waisted midi from Chicwish is great for day or night and is a fresh alternative to jeans. Whether you like to be a bit more casual or dress things up for the office, a good jean skirt (like this one) will always be a flattering choice.

Not sure how else to style it? Throw it on with a graphic tee and open-toe booties for a look that's oh so cool, or pair it with a bodysuit ballet slippers for a day at the farmers market. Whatever your taste may be, the styling options are endless!
