I’m wearing a great casual holiday approved outfit!

The holidays aren’t always dressy so it’s nice to have casual items on hand to wear as well! My go-to way to make a casual outfit a bit dressier is to add a heel whether that be pumps, heeled boots, or booties like my black pair. I’m wearing the über classic Rag & Bone ‘Newbury’ booties! These babies have been in my closet for 5-6 years now. I love them because they don’t appeal to any trends so they never go out of style. Rag & Bone recently released an updated 2.0 version of the shoe that looks perfect for wearing in a bit of weather (take a look at the sole).

I topped my outfit off with a pair of my favorite Hart Hagerty topknot tassel earrings! Y’all know how much I love Hart’s earrings! She just released mini versions of her tassel earrings, which are to die for. Snag them here or here. P.S. they make for fantastic stocking stuffers!
