Red Lips x 2

The holidays are a time for family, friends, and a red lip.  I love red pretty much all year but espically around the holidays.  This year I have been really into darker lipsticks but you can never go wrong with a classic red lip. I was ecstatic when I found this sweater at H&M, first of all it was 50% off and second of all it had an image of perfect red lips on it!  It was love at first sight.

I have really been loving skirts lately as well.  I read a lot of blogs and have realized that there are a lack of skirts in my wardrobe.  When I was browsing around at The Gap the other day I found this adorable one, on sale, and it was a tall length.  Typically I do not need extended lengths in my skirts but the flare in this one caused the back to be a bit short, so I was estatic when I found it in the longer length (it must have been an online return).  I loved the pattern and intantly started thinking of ways to pair the skirt all year round.  I cant wait to wear it with brighter colors in the spring!

I thought this outfit would be perfect for a family party.  Usually when I am around my family it's a low key occasion.  The sweater and the flats really dress the skirt down while creating a seamless finish, and once it's time to leave the sweater can be paired with a pair of pj pants for the ride home.

Hopefully I will be adding more skirts to my wardrobe.
