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?
