Holiday capsule wardrobe from top left: black pencil skirt / green blouse / silver hoops / Chanel nail polish / Dior nail polish / black belt / flare jeans / Chanel handbag (see below for alternatives) / Mary Janes / velvet top / black boots /

The holiday season is upon us. This means it is time to put together a few holiday outfits for Christmas parties, holiday parties, and a general festive feeling. Love that!

This holiday season, I am keeping my looks low key and using classic pieces combined with seasonal fabrics and colors to create a seasonal look. A black pencil skirt is classic and always chic. It can easily be paired with a holiday green blouse or party-ready velvet top.

For more casual occasions, jeans go with everything! Ha! This green blouse and velvet top go perfectly with jeans and can be dressed up with a classic and dressy handbag. I plan to wear the boots with my jeans, and the Mary Janes with my pencil skirt.

When it comes to jewelry, you may have classic and sparkling pieces in your collection. Wear them! If you have office parties, or more low-key celebrations, classic hoops are the answer.

Of course, nails are an easy way to get into the holiday spirit. Both Chanel and Dior have fabulous holiday nail polish collections. I am in love!

Can we talk investment dressing for a minute? As you can see, I have a Chanel bag featured in this holiday capsule wardrobe. This is a classic handbag I purchased close to twenty years ago. While the price increase over the years may be cost prohibitive for many people, there are plenty of equally classic handbags on the market in a similar style. I highly recommend investing in a dressy black handbag you can pull out for dinner, parties, and more. Here are a few currently on the market which will make fabulous investment handbags you will cherish for decades to come:

Also, let’s talk pencil skirts. This is a classic and chic article of clothing everyone should have in their wardrobes. If you don’t already own one, I highly recommend investing in a black pencil skirt. They never go out of style and can be worn for dinner, parties, and are always office appropriate. You won’t regret owning a black pencil skirt! This one is under $100. Love that!
