Casual Holiday Outfit with Foxcroft & Link Up On the Edge #125
Back in October, I had won a giveaway hosted by one of my favorite style icons, Dawn Lucy of Fashion Should Be Fun, and the prize was a $250 shopping spree from Foxcroft. I quickly added 5 gorgeous pieces to my shopping list and received them early in November. I featured two pieces in a Sunday Morning Quarterback post but have been saving the other 3 pieces for some festive holiday styling.
As much as I love velvet, I actually have not worn much of it this season. I fell in love with the cabernet color of the Elena Luxe Velvet Tunic and the cute pleats on the back. The velvet is super soft and the color matched my new floral Saige Booties perfectly. Add in my favorite stretchy jeans, a cozy scarf, and a furry coat and it is quite simply the easiest outfit combination to throw together and walk out to most holiday functions feeling festive, stylish, and comfortable.
I also picked up a gorgeous black burnout velvet top and white cropped denim from Foxcroft that I will be sharing on Thursday for the final post in The Holiday Series where we will be sharing our New Year’s Eve outfit ideas. And I paired these two pieces with the most amazing sequined booties! Stay tuned for that outfit next week.
I am going to keep this post short because frankly this week has downright kicked my ass! Let me tell you, working in retail during the holiday season is not for the faint of heart, the weak of mind, or the feeble of body. I am a pretty tough and determined woman and I am seriously about to collapse where I stand. All that being said, if my posts over the next week or two become sporadic or sparse, do not worry, I will be back to my normal way of things very soon! In the meantime, won’t you please check out the featured posts below and join the link party!
What are you plans for the holidays?
And now your featured favorites from last week.
Liz of Lizzie in Lace shared her post, How to Wear Over the Knee Boots with a Midi Dress. Not only is Liz rocking the tall boots with this gorgeous floral dress, she also has some great tips for wearing OTK boots if you are petite. And while Liz doesn’t wear black very often, this outfit is magnificently striking on her!
Julie of This Main Line Life shared her post, Gotta Love a Great Plaid. Yes, indeed, I do love a great plaid and Julie’s adorable pants feature my very favorite of all tartans, Blackwatch. Looking so gorgeous in green, Julie is holiday ready in this casual, cozy outfit.
Keeping it on the edge,

Wow I would LOVE $250 to go on a shopping spree! I could buy all sorts of fun stuff and stuff I really needed as well! I love those boots too!
shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
Thanks, Nina! I totally shopped all the clearance pieces, too, so I could get more things! This velvet tunic was the only full priced item I chose. But Foxcroft has some really amazing pieces and such great quality so totally worth it. I hope you have the most wonderful holiday!

Woo-hoo. Winner, winner, chicken dinner. LOL I love the combo of the black and reddish/burgundy, but when I saw the back of that top I was ooooing and aaaahing. I love it. Hope you get some much deserved time off soon. Merry Christmas, Shelbee!!! XO
shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
Thank you so much, Lisa! The back of this shirt is what really makes it, right? It is so cute and I love the oversized coziness of it, too. I have planned a relaxing weekend getaway for NYE weekend and I am so looking forward to it! I definitely need and deserve it! Wishing you the happiest of holidays, my friend.

What a great outfit Shelbee! I hear you, did the holidays just sneak up or what? I think it is the fact that Xmas eve is on a Monday, so the 4-day party starts now! I still have so many thoughts to share for 2018….I guess they will just have to wait till 2019! 🙂
Happy Holidays!

Suzanne, thanks so much! And I agree that a Monday/Tuesday holiday does feel awfully weird! I still have to finish my shopping this weekend, then work on Christmas Eve before I can even begin to relax! This adulting stuff makes me miss the Christmases of my childhood! And yes, so many thoughts still to be written, but 2019 is going to a fabulous year. I can feel it in my soul! I hope you have the most wonderful Christmas, my friend.

I completely forgot about your giftcard winnings to Foxcroft! I was and am excited for you. That top is beautiful. And we all understand busy right now. I carry that blogger guilt lately because I’ve not much time to read and comment as I like! Have a merry Christmas Shelbee! I ‘ll be sure to see you around. 🙂
shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
Thanks so much, Chrissy! You will definitely see me around because we have the Fab 40’s post coming up next week! And I have barely been able to join link ups over the past few weeks let alone comment. It’s been so crazy round here. But it will settle down soon. I have a weekend getaway planned for myself next weekend that I am so looking forward to! Merry Christmas to you, my friend!
