3 Ways to Wear Black Denim for the Holidays

No Comments

I love the holidays– there are all sorts of fun events to attend– performances, parties, visiting santa, seeing Christmas lights, getting together with friends, etc.

Some of these events require a fancy outfit, but most of them (at least for me!) don’t require anything too dressed up & I just want to look nice but not be decked out. When I’m looking to elevate an outfit, I usually turn to the color black. It’s classic & always comes through for me.

I put together these three outfits with black denim & I think they’re the perfect amount of “dressed up” but not fancy. I’m wearing skinny jeans but you could also do straight legs, flares, mom jeans, or whatever style fits what you like best!

Almost everything I am wearing in this post is older (my long duster cardigan, black sweater, and necklace are the only linkable items) so I will link similar options if you’d like to use these outfits as inspiration. Alternatively, if you shop your closet I’m sure you could put together some great outfit combos as well!

I love this outfit because it is elevated by wearing a velvet cami. Velvet is a GREAT fabric choice for winter & definitely makes anything feel a bit fancier. Of course, where I live you definitely need a sweater this time a year & I feel like the duster cardigan is a bit fancier than a shorter cardigan. (below, I linked a velvet cami that is more scoop necked & comes in multiple colors– the green & the burgundy are also gorgeous choices!)

A pop of red is always a good choice for the holidays! I chose to add it in with a sweater but you could also choose to do a pop of color with your shoes instead. Alternatively, you could do a green sweater if that’s more your color!

All black is always a favorite (and I have an all black for the holidays outfit guide post in the works!) & the addition of an off-shoulder sweater adds just a touch of appeal! The balloon sleeves on this sweater also make it dressier & more fun.

To dress up each of these outfits I wore my black velvet heels with an ankle strap. You could definitely switch them out for flats or booties too!

Lovely Jewelry to Give this Christmas (and a discount code!)

No Comments

If you’ve been around for awhile, you know that GLDN is my favorite jewelry brand. I’ve owned multiple pieces from them for years & found them long before I began collaborating with them (I think through Pinterest!).

My husband has gifted me bracelets & necklaces from them for Christmas and Birthdays and I just love their dainty pieces. I wear a piece from them almost daily & I am so excited to collaborate with them again to show you some great pieces you can gift to someone special for the holidays!

Personally, I tend to stick to necklaces & earrings, but they carry rings & bracelets as well!

I love that most, if not all, of their pieces come in 14k gold fill, sterling silver, or solid gold. You can choose which look & price point works best for you. Another great feature they offer is that a lot of their pieces have an option to be customized (initials, dates, flowers, images, hammed or smooth, etc.) which makes them perfect for gift giving!

I’m sharing 4 pieces today— see the reel HERE!

I do have a discount code– use MARISSAWEARSANOUTFIT to get $10 off your order until the end of 2021.

There are two pieces in this picture, but I am going to focus on the earrings. They are the 14k gold filled hammered Sonia Cuff Hoops. They are a lovely & classic pair of hoops. I tend to love the hammered look for some texture, but you can get a smooth finish as well. They also come in sterling silver & a solid gold.

This necklace is the Lor Necklace in 14k gold fill. I got it personalized with an evergreen tree & a hammered texture. I love it for this time of year & throughout winter! Just a cute little festive piece!

This is just another view of the Sonia Cuff Hoops! So pretty & dainty.

This is the Friendship Beads Necklace in 14k gold fill. You can personalize the number of beads & chose 3 to represent my two boys & my husband.

This is the Tiny Gemstone Necklace in 14k gold fill, the color beads are Andalusite. This gemstone necklace comes in SO many beautiful gemstones & colors. I just really liked the color of this one & that’s why I chose it. 🙂

Again, until the end of the year you can use discount code MARISSAWEARSANOUTFIT for $10 off your order!

A Neutral Shirt Worn 3 Ways

No Comments

This taupe button front shirt has been one of my most worn tops this fall. It’s so easy to style, so comfy & I ordered a neutral color so it works perfectly with so much in my wardrobe. I did a reel styling it (you can see it here) earlier this fall. I plan to wear it SO MUCH as we head into winter as well. Maybe I’ll need to do another styling session styling it as it gets cooler out.

Here are the three ways I styled it:

This is obviously super casual (& since this, I have gotten some skin colored no-show socks, HA!) & comfy. I would even add a baseball cap and maybe a long coat to make this even cuter!

The hat & sock booties are fun additions to dress this top up. I paired them with my favorite levi wedgie skinny jeans (sold out in this wash, but so many other washes available!).

A midi floral skirt & mules are always so fun. I love this printed one with this top!

Which of these three ways do you think you’d wear? My favorite is with the jeans, sock booties, and hat!
