Friends! How are we doing during these last few weeks of December? Are we crawling toward the end of the year or finishing strong? It’s reasonable to feel like a bit of both (probably depending on the day). I’m here to make things a little easier with a handful of low-effort, high-reward outfit ideas that you can come back to time and time again. I’ve also broken things up by event to take the guesswork out of things and ensure you can get dressed with ease. Let’s get into it!
LAST-MINUTE CELEBRATIONS
Next week is peak holiday party time, so if you’re still looking for something to wear, go with various pieces that you can mix and match into the rest of your wardrobe as the winter goes on. A red going-out top is both festive and perennial, so start there, then build the rest of your outfit.
WORKING FROM HOME
If you (unfortunately) have to work the week between Christmas and New Years, I offer three suggestions: A) Avoid the office at all costs, B) Work from home, and C) Take full advantage of the fact that no one will see your lower half, so soft pants are A-ok. Halie LeSavage, MC’s Senior Fashion Editor, highly recommends the pair below.
RUNNING ERRANDS
“The in-between,” as I like to call it, sums up those few days you can really use before New Year’s Eve to check everything off your to-do list: package returns, coffee dates with friends, hair and nail appointments, etc. No need to get fully dressed up, but a matching sweat suit signals intentionality with your outfit.
WHEN YOU EVENTUALLY BECOME SICK OF NOT GETTING DRESSED
If you’re anything like me, after taking some time off from getting fully dressed, you’ll be ready to put a look together once again. Nothing too wild, though—just a little something that feels put-together, but easy.
