My Cozy Christmas Outfit + Picking Up Our Tree!

Hellooo friends. It’s official! Christmas is only three sleeps away, or two for me, since Martin and I celebrate on the 24th. Oh my gosh, how did that happen?! I know I say it all the time, but this year truly flew by. Does anyone have big goals for 2026? I’m continuing to focus on my health and managing my chronic illness, as well as finally finishing our home - mainly the primary and second bedroom. I’ve just been so indecisive lately. Ugh! As for today’s outfit... it’s quick, easy, and ultra-cozy. I usually wear some version of this on the weekends, but lately, I’ve swapped my jeans for joggers and my tall black Hunter boots. I’m loving that version too! For the holidays this year, I’m not planning on getting too dressed up. What about you? Are you going glam or staying cozy?

For Christmas Eve, I plan on wearing a red midi skirt and a simple top. Then, for when my parents come over to visit on the 25th, I’m sticking with a black scoop-neck tee, a denim mini, black tights, and my tall leather boots. My chronic health issues have left me extra tired these past few weeks, so I’m keeping things as simple as possible. Speaking of simple... we decided to forgo the tree farm this year (because, yup, I was exhausted!) and grabbed a fresh-cut tree from Rona instead. It was so nice and fast, and I think it might be our new tradition! We’re considering a faux tree for next year, though I’m torn because I love the real ones so much. Are you guys, team real or team faux?

And of course, I couldn't skip sharing photos from our annual Xmas brunch with friends! 15+ years and going strong! We had such a lovely day, and I’m so glad we made it happen. With that, the blog will be quiet over the next couple of weeks while I take some time to enjoy the holidays. Thank you all so much for reading, and for the incredible support with the relaunch of Girl & Closet. It’s truly a labor of love, and it feels so good to be back in this space, dipping my toe into personal style and photography again. I’m so thankful you’re here, and I can’t wait to see you in 2026! xx

PS - sorry I haven't been linking as many of my clothing items. But lately, everything is thrifted. But if I have a link... I'll always include it!
