Here's what I wore on Christmas day:

Necklacecustom Cooper charm by Silhoupette
Dress: Asos biker print maxi dress
Shoes: Wittner 'Columbia' cross strap sandals in tan
Bracelets: the usual plus gifted gold bangle set
BagLouis Vuitton MM damier azur neverfull


Knew this dress would be perfect to wear for Christmas. I've had it an embarrassingly long time without wearing it as it was too long, but had it shortened last week so it's much more wearable now. It has a dipped hem, but unfortunately you can't see it well in the photos as Cooper sat right in front of it! The bracelets were a birthday gift which worked perfectly with the dress.

We had a wonderful Christmas day with church in the morning, lunch at the in-laws and dinner at my parents. My sister and I received a matching pair of onesies as a Christmas gift, so near the end of the day we had changed out of our dresses and were sitting around in our onesies, haha!


Last worn: Wittner sandals, Louis Vuitton neverfull bag. First time I've worn the dress on the blog.

We stayed at my parent's place overnight, so we got to spend Boxing Day together today. Had the chance to wear some of my new Christmas goodies! I'd asked for bracelets for gifts and got so many nice ones that it was hard to choose what to wear first, but thought these beaded ones would go nicely with the necklace I'd packed.

Had a huge breakfast, leftovers for lunch and dinner and spent some time in the pool to cool off. It's been a busy few days for us with a bit of travel, but it's been wonderful spending time with family. Was so good to relax and spend time with everyone, as well as seeing everyone starting to use and enjoy their Christmas presents.

    Christmas Eve: Asos Black Beaded Necklace Dress, Louis Vuitton Neverfull

    Here's what I wore on Christmas eve:

    Sunglasses: gifted Cotton On 'Kirsten sunnie' in yellow
    Dress: Asos tribal necklace dipped hem black dress
    Shoes: Wittner 'Jasmarie' studded sandals
    Bracelets: the usual
    BagLouis Vuitton MM damier azur neverfull

    Thought this dress would be a good thing to wear on a very hot Christmas eve, and the built in beading means no extra accessories were needed! I bought this dress years ago, but it doesn't get worn often as it's hand wash only because of the delicate beading. It's so comfortable I should wear it more often! I'm pleased how many nice pieces I'm finding in my wardrobe when I make an effort to wear more of what I own and buy less.


    Scheduled this post as I will be away from the computer on Christmas day, spending the day with family. I hope you have a wonderful and safe Christmas, however you celebrate.
