With Christmas just around the corner, I doubt fashion is at the forefront of your mind at the moment. If you’re anything like me, you’re running around like a chicken with her head cut off, trying to wrap up all those last minute Christmas shopping errands and baking teacher gifts and addressing Christmas cards and wrapping presents and…
Therefore, here is my best “What to Wear” advice for said occasions.
What to Wear: Christmas Baking
You’ll want to be comfortable and casual, but not so comfortable that you’ll be embarrassed if the UPS man shows up at your door. Athleta has JUST the thing. Plus, they have free shipping and free returns on orders over $50.
I’m loving this Waffle Henley Sweater with Organic Cotton Tool Around Pant and Cozy Knit UGG Slipper. Unless you keep your house colder than mine, you may want to ditch the hat, though.

What to Wear: Running Errands
Baby, it’s COLD outside. How about a tunic sweater, leggings and boots to run around town?

Or if it’s as cold where you are as it is where I am, you’ll probably want to bundle up. Layer a sassy pea coat in a bright color over a cozy turtleneck. Throw on your favorite pair of skinny jeans and tuck them into your favorite boots for a smart, pulled together, cozy outfit — perfect for dropping packages by the post office or picking up those last minute ingredients for Christmas cookies. And don’t forget your texting gloves and cozy scarf.
