I’m very very sentimental about wearing red and green during the Christmas holidays. Not necessarily every day, but at least to all holiday parties. I kinda have an internal twitch when I see people show up to a Christmas party in orange or pink or blue. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE those colors. It’s just, I’m all about dressing for the theme, and I’m a traditionalist when it comes to Christmas colors: RED and GREEN. Sure, you can sprinkle in black or gold or silver, or even navy blue, but for me, SOMETHING red or green must be on to a holiday event. I thought I’d share how I’ve changed it up over the years, and offer suggestions on how to change it up for different events in one year. A few staples like red shoes, a red scarf, and red lipstick will go a long way!

I don’t paint my nails very often, but just yesterday I decided I can paint them red because I plan to wear something that goes with red for the next 3 weeks until Christmas.
