What I wore:
Dress: Jeanswest Gigi printed maxi dress in shorter length (c/o)
Shoes: Novo Tawny rose gold sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus vintage silver charm bracelet
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Leo envelope clutch in champagne gold
Why I wore it:
This was what I wore on Christmas day. I got this dress back in 2015 but surprisingly I haven't worn it for Christmas day before! I knew that this year I wanted to wear an older dress from my wardrobe, just like I did last Christmas, and since this hadn't been worn at Christmas before it was the perfect choice! It was one of the two options I had last year but I went with a different dress then, so it was good to get this out for Christmas this year. I didn't manage to take my traditional pic of my outfit in front of the tree before the kids got up as they were up so early, please excuse some scattered unwrapped gifts on the floor!As usual, my family all dresses up for a day filled with family, food and presents. Since the colourful pink and purple print on this dress is pretty bold on its own I kept the accessories simple, with silver statement earrings, my usual dressy bracelet additions, and my silver cuff. I did wonder if the champagne gold envelope clutch was the best choice with the rest of my accessories being silver, but it was the perfect completer piece with my outfit when I tried it with the dress. And to be honest I just needed somewhere to stash my keys, phone and wallet, as we had a couple of bags of presents to take to my family and I put my camera in there.
As usual I ate so much good food, got spoiled with gifts, and had a wonderful Christmas day with family!

What's In My Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Leo Envelope Clutch
What I wore:
Necklace: House of Harlow gold multi-strand necklace
Dress: thrifted black Jeanswest halterneck maxi dress
Shoes: Novo Tawny rose gold sandals
Bracelets: the usual plus vintage silver charm bracelet and Disney Couture Winnie the Pooh bangle
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff Leo envelope clutch in champagne gold
Why I wore it:
Christmas at the in-laws is much more relaxed, but a maxi dress is still a good outfit choice! This one is another wardrobe oldie, also from 2015, and an opshop find. I got it in a bag of clothing in the "fill a bag for $2" sale so I'm definitely getting my money's worth from it! This is its 16th wear. I did try dress it up a little with the gold beaded necklace, but I kept the earrings simple with little heart studs.Again I went with my little Rebecca Minkoff Leo envelope clutch - with the gold necklace and sandals I thought it complimented this outfit really well also. I had a little space in the bag of presents to fit my camera so I only needed the clutch for the essentials.
The black maxi dress probably wasn't the best choice though, got covered in dog hair almost instantly 😅 Cooper is a Shih Tzu and doesn't shed so I'm always surprised by how much dog hair other dogs shed when we are with the family. 😅
Last worn: black halter maxi dress, heart earrings, gold necklace, rose gold sandals (above), Rebecca Minkoff Leo envelope clutch (above).
Other ways to wear: black halter maxi dress and kimono, rose gold sandals and jeans, Rebecca Minkoff Leo envelope clutch and pink dress.

I'm loving both of your maxi dresses, Mica, and they're both perfect for Christmas celebrations. The purple and pink dress looks absolutely perfect with the silver accessories and the deliciously named "champagne gold" bag.
ReplyDeleteThe black halterneck dress is very elegant and the multi strand gold necklace is its perfect companion! xxx
I'm so glad you think so as I deliberated over necklaces for a while before picking that one in the end!
DeleteI love both maxi dresses! They are both beautiful in their own way. I do love the print of the first one. It's stunning!

Spectacular and stunning outfits, Mica! Both are perfectly accessorized, and how beautiful your envelope clutch looks with each maxi dress. I'm glad you got to have your two Christmases (we are in the midst of planning a re-try). Lol at the dog hair!

How lovely are you in both of these dresses! I particularly like the first one as I love a print! But, black is so effortless and chic! I have a Westie so I know what you mean about dog hair on whatever you're wearing. I've come to see it as an accessory! Thank you so much for the link up!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful maxi dresses, simply perfect for Christmas day.I love the black one you wore to your inlaws, shame about dog hair getting attached, some dogs shed more.
ReplyDeleteNice dress and you look amazing!
ReplyDeleteYour christmas tree is awesome too

Absolutely gorgeous. Oh my, I just love how a maxi dress fits you and makes you look so tall. The statement clutch is just beautiful and I think it was the perfect choice for both outfits. Even though it makes a statement all on it's own, it's still elegant and classy. I hope you are having a fantastic week!

You look so pretty in both dresses Mica. I love the pretty handbag too. Wishing you a happy and healthy new year Mica.
ReplyDeleteBoth dresses are beautiful. The handbag is great.
ReplyDeleteYou must have enjoyed it with your whole family.
¡¡Hola Mica!! me ha gustado mucho tu bolso plateado, bueno, es como una cartera de mano. Te va genial con los dos look, aunque yo me quedo con el vestido negro, a pesar del inconveniente del pelo de perro en él. Feliz 2022. Besitos.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely outfits! I'm particularly fond of the thrifted dress - so many golden finds are in thrift shops! And, of course, the clutch is lovely, as well! <3

ReplyDeleteLovely outfits
ReplyDeleteBeautiful dresses and great for the occasion.
ReplyDeleteLove the both dresses and that clutch is so gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
I think you did a really great job with your buys! And bags never go out of style so even though you spent more on those they will last far longer than the clothes!
ReplyDeleteI know I won't spend less than I did in 2021 in 2022 but I do hope to stay on the lower side of spending this year too. Especially if we still spend a lot of time at home.
