Hi, lovelies! Can you believe we are less than 20 days away from Christmas? It’s time to finish up your Christmas shopping, stock up on holiday bites, and plan out all your outfits for this year’s parties (emphasis on that last part). I am the worst about getting my shopping done early, but not this year! While I do love shopping online, there’s something really nice about getting out and visiting shops in person. It’s also a great excuse to enjoy this cool weather while perusing my favorite shops and dining spots like California Pizza Kitchen at the River Oaks Shopping Center.
This outdoor shopping center has just about everything you need. From home decor to apparel, dining, and beauty services, it truly is a one stop shop for all things home, family, and even fur baby essentials (like Natural Paws). The only thing missing are the crazy crowds I’d normally experience at the mall and trust me, I am definitely ok with that.
If you’re still looking for the perfect holiday outfit or a last minute Christmas gift for the ladies in your life, Annie Allbritton in River Oaks is a must! Today I’m sharing a fun preppy holiday outfit from this super cute boutique that houses everything from apparel to accessories and even some home goods and beauty must-haves like the Kismet Cosmetic Collection I’ve been raving about on my Instagram. (Hello! Great stocking stuffer ideas – hint hint!)
Sweaters are a girl’s best friend this time of year and this striped thermal sweater by FRNCH is perfect to dress up for a holiday party especially for a work related event. How darling is the side button detail?? The classic hunter green and navy combo go perfectly with this party-ready gold sequin skirt (because really, what girl doesn’t love a little sparkle in her life). Adding a classic white shirt is a great way to play up that “prepster” holiday look as well as give your outfit some color contrast.
I opted for tights and these black pointy toe booties which have been my go-to booties for Fall. They are so comfortable, dancing friendly, and on sale! Lastly, no holiday look is complete without great accessories like these Krona Earrings and Mixology Necklace from Annie’s shop. Tip: the necklace also doubles as a choker. I love how it adds just the right amount of glam without being too flashy.
Whether you’re attending a fun office party or hosting a family gathering, this preppy holiday outfit would be the perfect look to wear. Make sure to visit the River Oaks Shopping Center this season to shop, dine, and get pampered all in one place! And be sure to swing by Annie Allbritton to say hi and view her latest collection. For all my non-local Houstonians, you can shop online and stay connected with her via Instagram and Facebook.
