Christmas Outfit Ideas & Inspo!

IT'S CHRISTMAS WEEK! I can't even begin to fathom how quickly December has flown by. Besidessss these past few days... I tested positive for COVID and have been quarantining away from my family in my bedroom. It has been so boring and disappointing and honestly very sad to have to be locked up here during this time of the year. Of course, I didn't get the virus while I was at school at parties, traveling on an airplane, or even spending Thanksgiving with family. I managed to get it while I've been relaxing, babysitting, and seeing only 2 or 3 people outside my household.

Pretty much the only symptoms I had right off the bat were congestion & a small cough. We really thought it was allergies or some sort of cold, because I felt better after spending one day in bed. After a few days, I was eating salt & vinegar chips and realized I couldn't really taste them... duh duh dunnn. My mom made me smell the container of cinnamon and my sense of smell was completely gone. I got tested at MedExpress that night and my results came back in 20 minutes. Positive. Since quarantining, my cough has gone away completely and the congestion has been mostly gone for days. I was very tired the first few days but I think that's been a mix of COVID and inactivity. Today I feel completely normal, so I'm very lucky to have not suffered as much as many others have. I'm just very lonely!

Anyways, I summoned the energy and motivation today to put together a Christmas Outfit Ideas & Inspo blog post for you! Keep in mind that I had to take all of these pictures on my tripod so they're not all super consistent, LOL. I did the best I could. And I only had 2 pairs of shoes up here in my closet so I'm either wearing black heels, blush booties, or socks in every photo. 😂

Make sure you read the whole blog because I give the details to some cute holiday accessories and my shoes towards the end. I'm also giving you all a sneak peek of the exciting news I keep mentioning... Merry Christmas from me!!!

This first outfit is super classy and cute. I wore this out to date night with Andrew once and it was a hit. I am wearing my classic Amazon turtleneck that I recently decided I need to buy in white too. I got this skirt from American Eagle last Spring and it's so flowy and pretty. I can't find the exact one but I'll link a similar one here. Plus it has an elastic waistband which is really great for holiday eating! If you can taste anyways🤪 And lastly, my shoes are from Lulu's.

I wore this dress on Christmas Day last year! It's so flattering and comfortable. I'd definitely recommend sizing up if you decide to purchase it because the sleeves are a little short and tight on me. They aren't too tight at all but I just prefer more of a flowy fit usually. This dress is from Altar'd State and the shoes are the same heels from Lulu's. Unfortunately I can't find the same dress as I'm wearing from last year, but this one is very similar and on sale for $26.49!

This outfit is very similar to the first one. The Amazon turtleneck paired with this adorable ruffle wrap skirt from Altar'd State, linked here. Based on how often I wear this turtleneck, I hope it's obvious to everyone how versatile it is to style. You can pair it with any pair of pants, skirt, leggings, jacket, or anything you can think of. It is probably the most worn item of my wardrobe.

Now. These pants. Come onnnn. They are amazing. I'm so obsessed with these flare corduroy pants from Altar'd State. I'll link them here. They are so incredibly comfy and such a statement. I have them in the wine color. I feel like a Mamma Mia rockstar when I have these babies on!

I LOVEEEE this outfit. This is definitely more on the casual side, but I have lots of options because Christmas could be looking different this year. I call this my blogger outfit because anytime I wear this Amazon hat I instantly feel like such a blogging icon... hahahaha. This is also my new favorite sweater, I snagged it at the mall a few weeks ago from Altar'd State. I have it in the mushroom color but they also have a cream and a rosy color. I love that there are rips along the bottom, the sleeves, and the neck. It just adds a little something to a basic sweater and I'm obsessed. These are my American Eagle mom jeans that I wear all the time. I paired this look with this random pair of ruffled booties that I had in my closet. I have actually never worn them before but I am definitely going to as soon as I bust out of quarantine! I'll link them here. Mine are in the coffee color.

I wore this Altar'd State dress last Christmas Eve! It's so cute and flows and even comfortable. The material is great too. Again, since this is from last year, it's no longer on the website. I'll link similar ones. You really can't go wrong with any Altar'd State dress, but when in doubt, size up.

Option 1 / Option 2 / Option 3

This is another really cute casual look. I'm wearing the same AE mom jeans with this thin long sleeved shirt from Altar'd State in rust. I sized up so it would be oversized on me. Sooo comfy.

This is a more stay-at-home kind of outfit. Or if you wanna wear a sweater with jeans and then change into leggings as the day goes on. These adorable brown zebra leggings are from the outlets. They aren't online but here's a similar pair. These are the Aerie 7/8 leggings, which I don't usually like how the cropped bottom looks on me. I sized up and got a medium and they look totally normal- if that is something you'd prefer over a cropped look. I paired these with the Altar'd State sweater from earlier in mushroom.

THIS🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 This is the Pink set I've been RAVING about. I already have it in 4 colors and I'm asking for another color for Christmas HA! I sized up in both the top and bottom because I wanted mine to be comfy and very oversized. This is the white camo color I just got in the mail and I'm obsessed. It's been my quarantine uniform! I got the top in a Large and the bottoms in a Medium. They also have sweatshirts with a hood if you'd rather that than the crew neck. EVERYONE needs one of these sets. Or more than one. Like 5.

SURPRISE! I've been so excited to announce that I have my first brand partnership!!! Yes, you heard that right! I'm working with Astoria Activewear! I'm planning a whole other post about them because I have more to show you! I had never even heard of this company before working with them. They gave me a special discount code JUST FOR YOU GUYS!!! You can use the code BELLAFRATTO15 for 15% off your order from me and Astoria! Please please please checkout their website here.

I'm wearing the Astoria Seamless Ribbed Leggings in Khaki in a size small. They are soooo comfy I can't even believe it. And the ribbed material is sooo cute and flattering. The khaki color is stunning.

I'm also wearing the Astoria Seamless Ribbed Sleeved Crop in Khaki in a size medium. I love this top. It holds me but is also really stretchy. Again, I'm obsessed with the ribbed material.

This is the perfect outfit for lounging at home (or in quarantine like I've been doing) or for a super comfy Christmas at home. Use BELLAFRATTO15 to get 15% off your order so we can match in Astoria this winter! Astoria Activewear! They have so many colors and styles of everything!

These are the Lulu's heels I wore in some of the outfits. They are suede and only $33! These are a classic pair of heels that everyone needs. The height is perfect too, not too high, but high enough. Linked here! Lulu's has tonsss of different colors to choose from.

These are the ruffled booties! These ones I have are from the Fergilicious Collection by Fergie. They are a few years old but I found an almost identical looking pair on Amazon. Linked here! So cute and girly.

My favorite hair accessories lately ✨ I use these big hair clips from Target constantly. I prefer the lighter brown one because it's a little bigger and I have pretty long and thick hair. I got both of these from Target. I'm sure you can find them on the website or even on Amazon for cheap too. This giant green satin scrunchies has also been a fav this holiday season. This is a giant hair scrunchies in satin, which I can't find on the website. They have plenty of other colors and sizes if you just want to look on the Claire's website.

My fav. Jewelry. These are just some cute pieces I picked out to show you with this blog. Star earrings are always super cute and perfect for New Year's Eve. I'll link a similar pair here. My fake Cartier love ring is actually from Amazon and was only $14.99. It's such a cute staple. These red Christmas-y earrings are linked here. Earrings are always an overlooked accessory that can take any outfit to a new level. I also love this magnetic cheetah bracelet. It goes with everything. This afterglow gemstone necklace is from Made by Mary. It's so cute. I got the chain extended so it would be longer and hang underneath my Tiffany necklace if I wanted. And finally, these gorgeous fringe hoop earrings I bought for my grad party this past summer. I love these earrings so much. I'll link a similar pair from Lulu's here. They are oversized which just adds even more to them.

And finally, I wanted to link these neutral masks I found on Etsy. They're only $5.69 and come in soo many different colors. I purchased taupe, olive green, and NEW tan. I love all three of them and already want to order more!

Thank you so much for hanging in there til the end of this post! I am so glad I put together this post for you all and I hope you all have a great week leading up to Christmas. AND I hope you are all able to safely spend some time with your families! I hope you found this blog helpful or inspiring and you're as excited as I am about out Astoria discount code!! AHHH!

Merry Christmas! Talk soon. XO
