✨ 12 Days of holiDAY to Night Outfits ✨Day 12: Maxi Skirt 💌

I’m so happy maxi skirts from the ‘90s are back! 🙌🏼 I love their minimalist vibes, and the column shape is so elongating. This one (available in tons of colors!) is super comfy thanks to the elastic waistband. Here’s how I’m styling it for New Year’s:

☀️ Daytime: A cozy oversized sweater creates the perfect contrast with a silky skirt. I got mine in petite so I can wear it with flats—like these silver sneakers that helped me shine through the holidays. ✨

🌙 Night: I’m not usually into showing off so much midriff, but I love the balance of being mostly covered with just a peek of skin. Plus, anything goes for NYE! 🎉

I hope you loved our 12 Days of holiDAY to Night Outfits series as much as I did and it brings you outfit inspo into 2025. Wishing you a Happy New Year my loves! 💛

Day 11: Sheer Embellished Top

I wasn’t sure how much use I’d get out of a sheer top, so I opted for this super affordable one—just $27! And wow, was I wrong. I’ve worn this dainty top so many times! Here are two ways for holiday:

☀️ Daytime: I adore the blazer-with-nothing-underneath trend, but sometimes it feels too bare for certain occasions. This sheer embellished top gives the illusion of going bare while still offering coverage. Plus, the sparkle adds an extra festive touch to winter white looks.

🌙 Night: This top gives off serious princess vibes when paired with a festive skirt. I’ve styled it with tulle before, but for this holiday look, I went with a silky maxi. A nude tube top underneath keeps the barely-there look mom-approved.

✨ Stay tuned for the final day of our 12 Days of holiDAY to Night Outfits series! 💛

Day 10: Velvet Blazer

Velvet blazers are one of my go-to staples for the holiday season. They instantly elevate any outfit, adding a luxe touch—even to your favorite pair of jeans! This dark navy one is especially versatile, since the color goes from festive gatherings right into winter nights.

☀️ Daytime: I dressed up a classic winter combo—jeans and a turtleneck—with this timeless blazer. Since I’m in San Diego, I styled it with ballet flats, but this look would work just as well with booties in colder temps.

🌙 Night: For an edgier evening vibe, I paired the blazer with a bralette for that “barely there” look. Instead of matching navy pants, I created a unique tuxedo-inspired outfit by adding black velvet into the mix.

✨ Stay tuned for Day 11 of holiDAY to Night Outfits! 💛

Day 9: Ugly Christmas Sweater 💌

When you’re invited to a last-minute ugly Christmas sweater party, you improvise! My sweater got lost in the move, so I borrowed my boyfriend’s Bob Ross sweater—and honestly, I’m loving the oversized fit. Here’s how I wore it for our night out… and how I styled it for a casual daytime look!

☀️ Daytime: I turned the sweater backwards to keep it simple in the front and party in the back! I layered it over an oversized button-down and added my go-to silver sneakers for the season. Star cluster earrings add just the right amount of subtle sparkle.

🌙 Night: To balance the oversized fit, I paired it with sleek leather leggings. Since the sweater’s lights no longer work, I added a ruby statement necklace for a little extra shine. And as a mom chasing a toddler all day, slipping into sky-high booties for a festive night out felt like a mini celebration!

To keep my little one from rearranging our main tree, I set up a special mini tree just for him. I chose a battery-operated tree so he can safely turn the lights on and off. And I embraced this year’s Bowmas trend with a car-themed bow topper to stay on theme. 🚗🎀

For ornaments, I simply tied twine around affordable white, red, and green toy cars. After the holidays, we can remove the twine, and he can add them to his collection! 🏎️

We had a blast decorating together over breakfast, and now he loves sharing his meals with the reindeer beside his tree! 🦌

12 Days of holiDAY to Night Outfits ✨Day 8: Black Jeans

These high-waist black jeans are one of my absolute favorites—they’re so versatile, I own them in black, two blue washes, and beige! Here’s how I’m styling them for the holiday season:

☀️ Daytime: I paired these jeans with a blue lady jacket for a polished alternative to a denim jacket. It’s perfect for elevating an all-black outfit, whether you’re running errands or grabbing lunch with friends. Swap the comfy loafer for a fancy flat or heel, and this look transitions seamlessly into a Hanukkah party or holiday dinner!

🌙 Night: These jeans are so comfortable, they’ve become my go-to for hosting at home. I made them Christmas-ready with a bright red sweater (yes, I own this in multiple colors too!), a matching red bow, sparkly accessories and festive slipper-like flats for cozy glam.

✨ 12 Days of holiDAY to Night Outfits ✨ Day 7:

This sweater was a holiday favorite last year, and I’m not surprised they brought it back! With all the buzz around Girlsmas and Bowmas, it’s the perfect festive staple. 🎀

☀️ Daytime: Winter white has been one of my favorite ways to wear cream sweaters for years. I styled it with velveteen pants and added metallic touches to play with texture—perfect for a holiday brunch with friends.

🌙 Night: I like to balance the sweetness of the bows with something edgier, like (faux) leather. A fringe bag brings a playful factor to the look for a festive night out.

Day 6: Cardigan Set (the set is only $26.60 today!)

I’m all about a good cardigan set, especially one that’s toddler-proof. Cashmere is gorgeous, but let’s be real—it’s not exactly toddler-friendly. Enter these super soft, affordable and (most importantly) machine washable sets. I loved them so much, I got two!

☀️ Daytime: Perfect for seeing Santa at the mall with my son! When it warmed up, I ditched the coat. And thank goodness this set is easy to clean—PJ needed a chocolate lollipop before meeting the big guy, which meant mama got very sticky.

🌙 Night: Monochromatic looks make everything look more polished. Since my sweater set and skirt don’t match perfectly, I used a belt to break up the colors. Adding pearls and polka dots gave the look a festive, playful vibe for the holidays.

✨ Stay tuned for Day 7 of holiDAY to Night Outfits! 💛

These (faux) leather pants have been in my wardrobe for years—and for good reason. They’re so comfy, super flattering, and toddler-proof (spills wipe right off!). Here’s how I’ve been wearing them this season:

☀️ Daytime: I love pairing them with an oversized sweater for a cozy contrast. Ballet flats are my go-to for running errands or chasing PJ—they feel like slippers but still look polished.

🌙 Night: For evenings, I switch to a silky camisole and throw on my favorite lady jacket for a touch of glam. Depending on the vibe, I’ll stick with flats for comfort or slip into suede pumps for a festive finish.

✨ 12 Days of holiDAY to Night Outfits ✨ Day 3: Embellished Cardigan

Embellishments are one of my favorite ways to add a little festive flair. And when your sweater sparkles, it doubles as jewelry—so easy, right?

☀️ Daytime: I dressed up a classic tee and jeans with this embellished cardigan. These silver sneakers keep things comfy while chasing my toddler but still add holiday shine.

🌙 Night: Here’s a super simple styling hack: turn your cardigan backwards for a whole new vibe! I paired it with a sequin skirt and silver kitten heels for a sparkly, festive look perfect for holiday parties.

Day 2: Green Turtleneck Tunic

I’m all about green this holiday season. And I’ve been living in this cashmere sweater. Here’s how I’m making it festive for day to night:

☀️ Daytime: So glad skinny jeans are back! Pairing a cozy tunic with slim pants lets you look chic while indulging in that extra slice of pie. I added a denim trench and navy suede boots for a polished take on the double denim trend.

🌙 Night: These cropped faux-leather pants are my favorite—I own them in five colors! The leather finish dresses up the look while staying comfy. I tucked and bloused the tunic for shape, then added velvet heels, sparkly earrings and a pop of leopard for a festive touch.

✨ Stay tuned for Day 3 of stylish yet simple holiday looks. 💛

Happy first day of fall! 🍁 It doesn’t feel like autumn inSan Diego (no complaints here), but it’s officially time to start transitioning my wardrobe.

As a WFH mom and SAHM, I’m all about the 3 Cs:
Casual Classic and Cleanable
(because let’s be real, two dogs and a toddler require machine washable outfits!).
