As the holidays come closer we start to get busy with getting presents, attending holiday parties and we must find a way to stay stylish. You do not have to always go all out to feel beautiful. A well put together simple look can get the job done. Denim was a hit this year especially on denim tops and denim jackets. I was able to make this a not so obvious denim on denim look by adding a maroon crew neck sweater, not to mention the adorable elbow patches! If you find yourself staying away from sweaters as I do because they may be itchy, this is the perfect solution. You will not feel a thing other than extra warmth. I prefer a dark wash jean because they work well with everything and look more sophisticated. Though you should keep a light wash jean in your wardrobe for those pretty pastels. I paired this look with these suede and leather brown ankle boots because they add different textures and the buckles add a an edgy feel. My look was officially complete but I wanted more. I kept trying different necklaces but could not find the right one to match up to this look. Then I realized that you don't always need a necklace or a bracelet to make a look complete. As the old saying goes "Less is More". Once I put my look together it came the time to figure out what to do with my hair and makeup. I usually opt out for straightening it which can take quite a while if you have natural curly hair. This time I just brushed it, added musse, waited for it to dry. My makeup consisted of a bit of concealer, blush, and mascara of course! My new glasses from SEE seem to work well with everything I wear, I love them more and more each day! PS: Never leave the house with wet hair, wait it out or use a blow-dryer. If you are in a hurry, do not risk being sick for Christmas!

As Christmas hurries to get here we should always remember the original meaning of Christmas. It is not about getting and buying gifts, or eating and having days off. Christmas is a reminder of how amazing God is for gifting us with a way into heaven. We also have to remember to be thankful for everything we are blessed with because there are so many more unfortunate families around the world. I hope you all have a wonderful Holiday Season!
