My Holiday Sweater Collection & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #254
Last week, my blogging friend Marsha of Marsha in the Middle shared a really fun and festive post, The Great Christmas Sweater Debate, showcasing her beautiful collection of holiday jumpers. I found myself smiling all the way through as she described each wearable work of art and styled them all for a jolly little collection of Christmas sweater outfits. So I decided that I would put together a similar round up post of my holiday sweater collection. Maybe you will find some inspiration for your own Christmas style this year. If not, I hope you at least find yourself smiling as I did at Marsha’s post!
Holiday Corgi Sweater
This cute little jumper is the newest in my holiday sweater collection. I picked this up at the end of last winter on Torrid clearance and couldn’t wait for the season to roll back around so I could wear it. I like that it is not truly a holiday sweater but more of a winter themed sweater that can be worn throughout the entire cold season.
Snowflake Sweaters
Both of these snowflake sweaters are a few years old from Kohl’s. The blue one is the brand Croft & Barrow and it is one of my very favorite holiday colors. I have a particular fondness for the giant embroidered snowflake in the middle. I remember when I bought this sweater, they also had a dark green one with a different snowflake that I really wanted but I could not find my size. Now I wish I had bought it in the wrong size because it might fit me now!
The pinkish colored one is LC by Lauren Conrad and is a really soft fuzzy knit that feels so good to wear. I have had this sweater for about 5 or 6 years and have struggled with styling it until last year. Now that I have figured it out, I really like this sweater very much.
Scotty Dog Sweater
I cannot even tell you how long I have had this sweater. I bought it at Walmart countless years ago for some crazy cheap price. It’s a size 4X so it is oversized but I love it with leggings. It is made of some awful acrylic fibers that create way too much static cling but if I add a layer underneath it’s not too uncomfortable as far as fabrics go. I still wear it every holiday season because there is just something special about Scotty dogs for the holidays.
Reindeer Sweater
This is another LC by Lauren Conrad sweater from Kohl’s. I bought it at the same time as the pink snowflake one and struggled the same with styling it. But I will hang onto it because one cannot have enough variety in holiday sweaters, I think.
Bah! Hum-Pug Sweater
When I worked at Charlotte Russe a few years ago, all employees were offered any holiday sweater of our choosing for $10. I could not resist this adorable Bah! Hum-pug sweater and have worn it at least once every Christmas since I have had it.
The Family All Decked Out for Christmas
I do believe that 2017 was the year that we last had professional family photos taken. I had won a family photoshoot from a local photographer, Sarissa Marissa Photography, and we had such a fun time doing this shoot. Just click on the photo or post link to see all the other images. We should really schedule another session again soon for updated family photos.
I hope you are all enjoying the joy and wonder of the holiday season. May your days be filled with many blessings!

What a lovely photos! You with short hair! I love that orange kind of outfit. Isn’t it so nice to look back at photos, I love it.

Thanks so much, Nancy! My hair was sooooo short when I first started blogging! It has come a long, long way. I do enjoy looking back through old photos, but so many of them make me cringe! Haha

You have some cute christmas knits! 🙂 We don’t have the temperatures for anything like that here at christmas, haha! I do have a couple of festive Christmas tees though – my mum made me a new one this year!
Thanks for the link up!
Hope that your week is going well 🙂
shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
Thanks so much, Mica! I saw your new Christmas tee in your post. It is so cute! And I was immediately struck by the need for Christmas tees when you live in another hemisphere! It is not something I ever considered or needed because I am much too cold this time of year.

I absolutely love that darling corgi sweater you got! All of these are super cute and so fun to wear!
shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
Thanks so much, Laura! I think the corgi one is my favorite of them all. But maybe that’s because it’s my newest one. I’ll probably change my mind by next year! Merry Christmas to you and your family!

I love the dog theme going on! I don’t have many Christmas sweaters… thinking about it now, I don’t think I have any… Plenty of coffee sweaters though – ha! Probably because it’s still usually too warm here in Florida for sweaters in December, and I tend to start wearing them after the new year. Great collection you have! So fun, festive and most importantly, warm. Merry Christmas 🙂
shelbeeontheedge@gmail.com
Alexandra, thank you so very much! I was just chuckling about the dog theme because I am not a dog owner or even much of a dog person at all. But maybe I like dogs more than I thought! I have a few coffee tee shirts but now I think I want a coffee sweater, too! I hope your Christmas is filled with peace, love, and joy, my friend!

Aww, love seeing the family picture, very sweet! Love your Holiday sweaters, that cobalt sweater is a great color on you. I NEED a doggy sweater! I love the ones you have, if only I could find a shih tzu on the sweater! They are all cute too, the pug, corgie and scotty.
I have a fair amount of sweaters for living in the South, and try and take advantage of wearin them Dec- Feb.
Have a wonderful Christmas Shelbee!

Thanks so much, Jess! I do have a lot of dog sweaters and I am not even a dog owner! We have cats and a bunny. Haha. I just did a quick search on Amazon and they have some super cute Shih Tzu holiday tee shirts but I couldn’t find sweaters! I hope you have a fabulous Christmas!

I have to say I like the scotty dog sweater best! I have a Westie which is basically a white scotty! All of your sweaters are gorgeous and are so you! I do like the Bah Hum Pug sweater, too (my brother has had several pugs over the years). You are wise buying more winter themed than Christmas themed sweaters! And, thanks for the shoutout!
Have a fabulous holiday season, Shelbee!

Thanks so much, Marsha! I definitely go for the cuter sweaters over the obnoxious ones. But I do enjoy the daintier pretty ones, too! Like all of yours. They had the best bits of sparkle on them! And yes I think winter themed is just much more versatile than holiday themed. But I do enjoy a good silly holiday themed outfit or sweater, too. I hope you have a fantastic Christmas, my friend! And thank you for inspiring this post!

What a fun collection! I love holiday sweaters and adore your blue one from Kohl’s. Not only are they fun but they are so cozy! I always wait for December to roll around too and I parade in my holiday sweaters. I only have one but recently bought one. Patiently waiting for it to arrive hopefully before Saturday! But it’s okay if it’s later than that. I would still have a few days to wear it before the season ends!

Thank you, Maureen! I have only worn the corgi sweater and the scotty dog sweater so far this year. I haven’t gotten the other ones out of their storage bins! But I do still have lots of winter left to wear them. It only just became officially winter this week, after all. I hope your new sweater arrives in time for Christmas as well! Wishing you all the best this holiday season, my friend!

I love all of these sweaters! I may need to get in the winter sweater spirit since I now live where it gets cold – well supposedly; it’s going to be 68 here today (the day after Christmas).

Thanks, Michelle! You do live in a place with a beautiful climate especially this time of year. Not too cold but cold enough. You get some snow up in the mountains but it doesn’t kill you in the lower elevations like it does where I live! You will start adding more sweaters to your wardrobe soon!
