Our Holiday Looks Revolve Around These Affordable Pieces

"My extended family usually gets together on Christmas Eve, and it's one of the few occasions where we actually dress up beyond jeans and sweaters. This is my first holiday season as a mom, so I knew this year's outfit had to be polished, but still comfortable enough to pick up my ten-month-old son. This mesh plaid dress fits the bill: the long sleeves and midi length feel appropriate for winter, while the pattern adds a festive vibe. Paired with equestrian-style leather boots, a chocolate brown suede shoulder bag, and wavy gold earrings, the whole look is stylish, fun, and practical — the trifecta for a new mom." — Annalise Mantz, associate director, branded content
