Holiday Dresses: Red Christmas Dress

On the hunt for holiday dresses? This Red Christmas Dress is the perfect piece to wear over and over again this holiday season!

This Red Christmas Dress is the perfect piece to wear over and over again this holiday season!Finding this Christmas Tree already up at our local outdoor mall was a random surprise.  Does anyone else feel like Christmas decorations go up earlier and earlier each year?  In years past, I've been very anti-Christmas decorations before Thanksgiving…..but this year? The minute Halloween hit, I was all jazzed about putting them up.  Yup, our fireplace is dressed to the nines and we even already put up a little princess Christmas Tree for Lydia.  

Maybe it's because I'm already stressing over our holiday party calendar?  For whatever reason, I feel like we are booked solid from the day after Thanksgiving to New Year's Eve.  But the one smart thing I did this year? I stocked up on holiday dresses early.  So now? I have a few hanging in my closet and ready to go.

Remember that t shirt dress I got over the summer? The perfect fitting, under $75 one? The one that I bought in two colors and pretty much wear constantly? Well, imagine my excitement when I discovered there was a long sleeved version.  This long sleeved, slightly heavy fabric version? Is the perfect red christmas dress (and it's under $60).  And the best part?  It's so versatile, it can also be the perfect Valentine's Day Date Night Dress or the perfect wear to work with flats and a jean jacket dress.

Full disclosure, I've worn this dress twice in the last week.  I wore it dressed up (like you see here) for a pre-holiday shopping preview event.  Paired with a simple chunky necklace and heels, it was perfect for a fancier event.  I also wore it with a patched denim jacket and leopard print flats to work.  And for a third way to wear it? I traded those leopard print flats in for simple mule heels and wore the same dress out to dinner.

Who doesn't love a dress that flatters, and can be worn a million ways.  I'm telling you guys, the subtle ruching? Makes this streamlined dress perfect for us ladies with curves.  (I bought it in black too, so don't judge when you see it around here again).

    This is a nice dress. I had to look it up to see if it has a zipper, and it doesn’t. It is so fitted at the waist I wonder if it is hard to get on/off. I love the ruching, too. It is very flattering, nice pick, and a good one for more than just the holidays.

Frodo, meet our friends. 🐾💕We adopted Frodo last week through the Rescue House here in San Diego (highly recommend for anyone local)…..and he’s already become the king of the house.💕I had a TON of pets growing up (cats, a dog, rabbits, lizards, fish, chickens)…..and I’m so excited that Lydia will get to have this experience.🐾Do you have a pet?
💕 Double tap if you wish you were swimming righ 💕 Double tap if you wish you were swimming right now……..’Tis the season.  When we bought our house, I envisioned Lydia having all her friends over to swim….and this summer? We are FINALLY getting to have all the pool party play dates we’d hoped for.I just added this bucket game to our pool toys and OMG it’s so much fun (Robbie and I have used it more than any of the kids, ha!)While we picked up the game, we also did a water check.  Just an FYI, Leslie’s also offers “always-free” water testing at all their locations. You bring in a sample of your water to any Leslie’s location for your free test, and they can help you come up with a plan to treat any issues.Well…..who wants to come over for a pool party?!?<LesliesPoolPartner>#Leslies #WeKnowPools #LesliesPoolSupplies, #LesliesPoolCare #LetsPool @lesliespoolcare
