Be_So_You on LTK

You’re not seeing double… I have this Social Threads blouse in two colors now (red and green). I love it untucked or tucked. It fits TTS, I’m in a Small. I’ll layer a v-neck long sleeve tee under them or a cardigan over them for more warmth on a very chilly day.

These Risen kick crop jeans (TTS) have been on repeat over here. I love the built in tummy control and how soft and comfy they are.

📏For reference, I’m midsized, 5’6”, slightly short-waisted, 36-B bust, and wear a small or medium top with size 10 jeans.

Today’s outfit to take Zuzu to the vet. She’s 15 and started limping this weekend. But she’s on the mend now and doing much better. I matched my outfit to her because I knew it would be covered in dog hair after our visit. These light blue cords are old but the same color is available from LOFT (tts). A similar cream ruffle neck turtleneck is linked. I wear this Walmart brown shacket in a medium, but a small would also work. These brown Chelsea boots are old and I will never get rid of them. I linked a similar pair.

I love a classic red plaid Christmas blouse, and I had been eyeing this one from Social Threads for a few weeks. When they sent it to me to try, I was genuinely excited. If you follow me here, you may have already seen that I wore it out to dinner and a movie on Saturday night (with the same jeans). It hits right at the hip, which makes it easy to wear untucked or with a simple front tuck.

I paired it with my well loved Risen kick crop jeans, also from Social Threads. They run true to size. The forecast here says Christmas temps may be a little warmer, so ballet flats may be an option for the holiday!

If a sequin top is a new style for you and out of your comfort zone, pair it with pieces you know and love to make the outfit feel familiar and comfortable. Here I’m pairing it with blue flare jeans and black ankle boots. This look is a perfect outfit for a New Year’s Eve neighborhood party. It’s festive casual.

I finally added a red sweater shell to my closet. Red and black velvet totally work together. I’m obsessed with the visual interest a striped ruffle-neck button-down shirt adds to any outfit. I’m leaving it untucked for a relaxed vibe and to show the cute striped hem for even more visual interest. I’m creating stylish tension in this outfit by choosing a very casual pair of jeans with these black kick crop jeans with a raw hem. The cropped length instantly makes the look more casual and shows off the black leather ankle boots. I chose boots with a 2” heel rather than a chunky flat lug sole for a more elevated feel.

FIT: Size up in these @gap kick crop jeans. A similar blazer is linked. This red shell sold out so fast. A similar one is linked.

It’s been very cold and snowy here in VA! Today’s outfit for my sister’s birthday lunch had to have lug sole boots and long cords. These LOFT long cords fit TTS. I’m in this Old Navy sweater in a M and layered a long sleeve tee under it for extra warmth. I also own it in cream. I love the little ruffle detail.

I've been looking for a black pair of ankle boots similar to my favorite J.Crew Factory ankle boots, which are now sold out. ⁠
⁠
I found them at Target for half the cost! ⁠
⁠
They have the same low 2-inch heel that spans the back of the shoe for stability. And they have a cushioned insole for comfort. The elongated snip toe is surprisingly comfortable, and the sleekness pairs well with just about any style of jeans and pants, including wide-leg jeans.⁠
⁠
This black nylon bag is new from Quince, and I'm in love! It's the perfect everyday bag. ⁠

Wear this velour set from Old Navy for Christmas family dinner with cute flats and sparkling jewelry. This set (pieces sold separately) is a lounging look that you can totally wear in front of company and all day long. PANTS FIT: I ordered all three sizes of these pants just to make sure I got the right fit. I liked the snug waistband of the Medium but prefer the looser hips and thighs in the Large (the Medium was too snug in the rear for my comfort). I ended up washing the Large, and they fit the same after the wash. SWEATSHIRT FIT: This raglan sleeve crewneck sweatshirt ends right at the hip bone. I’ll wear it with a tank top underneath or a black tee tucked in for extra coverage since it ends right at the hip. I’m wearing a Medium with a 36-B bust. These pieces went ON SALE for under $20, and stock is fluctuating significantly now. I'm hoping you catch your size while it's available! They come in burgundy and camel, too. I also linked a well-rated option from Amazon.

The vibe on Christmas Day is always laid-back and relaxed, so I want to skip making a ton of outfit decisions and just stay comfy all day.

Today, I’ve got your Christmas Day covered with four outfit ideas built around two day-to-night looks that take you easily from morning gifts to hosting dinner.

Choose from cozy sweater looks or a velour set look.

These ideas are easy, festive, and look great in pictures; and, if you’re packing to visit family, they’re simple to transition from morning to evening.

The Fair Isle pullover (size M) is so festive, looks great in pictures, and easily goes from morning to night by swapping the striped track pants (size S) for wide-leg jeans (fit TTS) and adding a button-down shirt.

The black velour set (pieces sold separately- M top and L bottoms) is one you can wear from the moment you wake up until you go to bed at night, with just a few accessory swaps. Keep it comfy with slippers for the morning, then swap to flats and sparkly jewelry for dinner. **This set is selling fast and stock is fluctuating. I linked a similar option from Amazon.

📏For reference, I’m midsized, 5’6”, slightly short-waisted, 36-B bust, and wear a small or medium top with size 10/12 jeans.

This is one of the best ways to wear your velvet blazer for special occasions. All-black with jeans is a great option and an elegant look that always works. Flare jeans with a dark wash and long length create an elevated vibe with this velvet blazer and black top. If the dress code calls for formal attire, it’s a good idea to swap out the jeans and wear plain black trousers instead. Pull the look together with a sparkly statement necklace, earrings, a rhinestone embellished bag, and ankle-wrap pumps with a rhinestone buckle. This velvet blazer is old from J.Crew Factory. Similar options are linked. These Gap flare jeans fit small. I sized up and am wearing the short length at 5’6”.

Try solid colors, especially gem tones, with your velvet blazer for a chic look. I sized up in these Gap flare jeans and am wearing the short length for flat or nearly flat shoes.

#LTKOver40 #LTKHoliday #LTKMidsize

A black velvet blazer is a classic and it is so easy to keep it looking fresh with a few simple styling choices. It is a great piece for a Christmas capsule wardrobe because you can pull it out year after year. I like to layer it over a ruffle neck blouse with a sweater shell and pointy toe heels or ankle boots or keep it simple with a solid black sweater and heels or boots or a black cardigan and black patent loafers.
