We’ve officially made it to December and that means its time for  holiday parties and gatherings. As someone who has a natural aversion to sequins (which tends to be very popular this time of year), I’m always looking for alternative holiday fashion. For the most part that means occasionally stepping out of the familiar seasonal fashion color spectrum of red, green, black and gold. For this look I shopped my closet for a blouse that would go well with this chiffon pleated skirt from Torrid that I managed to buy back in October for only $6! Even though both of these pieces are from spring collections, the ivory and turquoise palate simply said winter snow to me. 

The skirt is so graceful and feminine which immediately reminded me of the snow flake ballerinas from the Nutcracker Suite sequence from Disney’s Fantasia (1940) so as you can expect, I spent most of the day twirling in it. The pleats with the scalloped eyelash lace creates textural interest which was a refined way to stand out at the family holiday event I attended this weekend. Needless to say, I’m in love with this outfit and it will definitely be in rotation this month.
