Well, if this wasn’t an unusual holiday celebration for us?!?
This was the first year since my husband and I started dating, that we did not spend Christmas with our families. Every year, for the past 15 years, we would rotate Thanksgiving and Christmas celebrating with my family in Boston (where we live) or with my in laws in Brooklyn (where my hubby’s from). This year, with everything going on with Covid, we decided to spend the holiday just me and him. Was it a little sad? It was, but it was also a little bittersweet too, since we never spent the holiday alone since we met. This year, we didn’t go crazy at all trying to plan a xmas dinner menu for many, going shopping for a bunch and didn’t have to run all over the place non-stop. We stayed in the comfort of our own home making our own memories together.
Growing up Italian & my husband growing up Puerto Rican, Christmas Eve is the big party night for us with lots of food, drink, music and fun times with our families. It is also the night where we get decked out in a nice outfit….xmas day is spent in your pj’s. And just because I spent the night at home with my husband alone, that wasn’t gonna stop this fashionista from getting all dolled up. You best believin’, I actually got dressed…….and not in my quarantine sweats either. It was nice to put on a full face of makeup, do my hair and rock a fun outfit for the night on the couch. Hey, I don’t care. It made me feel a little normal to this ‘abnormal’ year.
And so bring out my black on black attire …tank and pants….with my 🔥 Jacket from http://www.shopakira.com to add a little POP 💥 to the dark undertone. Threw on some Rose Gold Metallic heels to ‘SHINE’ throughout the night…..although I did take them off after a few lol…..notice my red toes ❤️
What were your holiday plans? Did you get dressed up too? What is your favorite holiday outfit to wear?
