I’m working with LOFT on a couple holiday fashion posts on a budget. In case you’re a bit confused (I was), LOFT branched off a few years ago from Ann Taylor to produce a younger, more current brand of clothing and accessories for women, including petites and maternity. Plus, right now you can get 40% off your entire purchase in stores and online.
Can you believe Christmas is only a few days away? It really crept up on me this year. We are sticking around here but having a few friends over on Christmas Eve Eve and I’ve been thinking about what kind of outfit would be the perfect mix of festivity and style (minus the acrylic Christmas sweater and reindeer headband). We’ll be making a fire in the fireplace, having a simple meal, and sharing our favorite Christmas stories.
The necklace I made (tutorial here) and the gold shoes were thrifted.
I’m also sharing an outfit for a fun, sparkly New Years Eve party!
I’m picturing low lights, a little dancing, bubbly drinks, and lots of crazy hats.
Here’s what I picked out from LOFT with my $150 budget:
Modern Skinny Jeans in Black Wash $59.90 (currently 50% off online!)
Sequin Tee $59.90 (similar to this one online)
Calfskin Magenta Belt $29.99(similar to this one online)
Paired it with some thrifted cobalt heels. Headed to any New Years or Christmas gatherings? What are you thinking of wearing?
Disclosure: I was compensated for my review of LOFT products, although the opinions and writing are mine alone
what lipstick are you wearing? it’s awesome!

Very very cute! I had no idea that LOFT had split off, but after checking out their stuff, I adore their sweaters! I'm going to have to check out more of their stuff- they seem to have really frugal options that still look stylish and classy!
you're outfit choices are always so cute and authentic!! So easy to be inspired… 😉
great outfit inspiration! and thanks for the heads up on the LOFT sale. love them!
Love the first top! It's perfect.
CUTE! I don't know what I'm wearing yet but it will include sparkles, sequins and shiny things. Have fun!
You look SO FANTASTIC! I am in love with the sparkly top & all paired with the colorful belt and shoes and lipstick. Perfection. mmm…I need some cobalt shoes now. (& so happy/honored to see my new little blog on your blog roll. You are one of my fav. bloggers ever!! Thank you so much.)
Fab!!
The NYE outfit is awesome! I love the belt.
Both of these outfits are fab! I love the red skirt.
Love the outfits! I'm always surprised at what I find at LOFT. They have some great stuff.
I love the NYE outfit!
That is so cute!! And it definitely looks functional for Thanksgiving too.
I bought that sweater earlier this year and I love it!! Now, I just have to make those darling shoes!!
Yeah, I'm here to say, the flats you made are by far the best part of the outfit (what kind of flats are they??)… but you look super cute and it's put together so well for the look/style you were going for!!
Is it funny that the flats you made are my favorite part? Such a cute look!
Super cute, love the look
Darling!
I would wear this entire outfit – lovely!
I love the color combination of your outfit! It looks very put together yet comfortable and casual.
That sweater is such a pretty color! and I agree, pants with a little stretch are a must!
That orange cardigan is really beautiful
Great outfit! I generally go for a similar comfy meets stylish look for the holidayshttp://chicgeekery.blogspot.com/
