Christmas Cheer with Shop Fierce Pineapple!

Hello, everyone! I know that I've taken a long hiatus from blogging, but I'm determined to get back on schedule following the holidays. Today, I'm here to share with you all the outfit I wore for dinner on Christmas night. My family has a tradition to host dinner at my grandparent's house every year. After we feast on all kinds of treats, everyone finds a corner of the room to dub their own, and we sort all the Christmas presents by person and dig in! I always feel so blessed looking around the room at my entire family talking, joking, and unwrapping gifts. 

Anywho, before we left, I took some pictures of my outfit with my main Christmas present, a new Nikon DSLR camera!! I've loved photography for a long time now, and starting a fashion blog has given me the perfect excuse to invest in a nicer camera. 

My plaid dress from Shop Fierce Pineapple is the perfect piece to reflect the holiday spirit during Christmas. The neckline complements one's decollate, and the shift silhouette + sash flatters every body shape in a subtle manner. Plus, the plaid pattern is SO adorable! To spruce up this holiday look, I added some rose gold jewels and a pair of gray, cable-knit tights. Lastly, gray pumps polished off this outfit quite nicely.






Tights: Target
Necklaces: J.CrewMoose and Nigel c/o

cozy in cable knit

Racing my brother to see who can wrap the garland around the staircase the fastest. Baking Christmas cookies (which are oatmeal peanut butter chocolate chip in my house :) at home with my Mom and scolding Dad for snagging a few. Hanging ornaments on the Christmas tree and erecting the nativity scene with holiday songs playing softly in the background.

These are all essential moments that make up the holiday season for me each year. These are the moments that I look back on and cherish year after year.

To work like busy bees decorating the house all day, you have to be comfy and cozy. This cable knit sweater with velvet elbow patches is the perfect solution to looking stylish but being able to move. I paired it with jeans and metallic ballet flats.

For accessories, I wore a pair of simple pearl studs and a plaid, retro-inspired purse. Lastly, I just had to add my orange pea coat (featured in this post) because the colors coordinated so perfectly with my purse.
