12 Days of Christmas Style

Posted on December 14, 2020

12 Days! How are we only 12 days ways from Christmas?! I’ve teamed up with my bestie Heather and today, we are bringing you 12 Days of Christmas Style – festive outfit ideas to take you through the holiday season! Whether you’re dressing up or down, we’ve got you covered!

You can see my Full Christmas Gallery here for more inspo and for more holiday style and ideas, be sure to click here.

With such a tough year and nowhere to go, I feel like grabbing some extra flare and getting dolled up for the holidays might be just the thing to make me feel some “normalcy” this Christmas.

Were you around this time last year? If yes, then do you remember the Style My Closet Challenge I hosted with my girlfriend, Heather from Southern State of Mind?!

If not, then let me give you the back story!

We first shared our idea last October, where we challenged ourselves to get dressed every day wearing things from our closet. It was a chance to rediscover all of the clothes we had inside and in order to get creative, we came up with daily themes to prompt us with what to put on each day. The 31 day challenge helped us to fall back in love with the items in our closet and create new outfits with what we had.

We had SO much fun [and you all did, too] that we did a mini version in December.

So this year, we thought it would be fun to share 12 Days of Christmas Style to get you in the “getting dressed” spirit!

But this time, there isn’t a daily theme, but rather 12 outfits here [and another 12 outfits over as SSOM] to inspire you to head into your closet to recreate some festive looks with what you have. And to be honest, they don’t have to be *festive* at all. Just some outfit ideas to help you get dressed this season no matter what you’re doing!
