Affordable Holiday Outfit Inspiration

One of the most exciting times to style outfits is right around the holidays. I’m always looking for affordable holiday outfit inspiration to build a great look so I thought I would share some of my ideas. I like to have options because sometimes you just don’t know what you’re going to be doing until the day of. With these looks, I have you covered from everything to glammed up holiday to NYE in your pajamas!

Look 1: Casual Holiday Spirit

This look screams elevated comfort to me. This is probably the vibe I’ll be going for this holiday season. I love the sophisticated sweater paired with the edgy leather boots and skirt. I chose to style it with a simple pearl headband and you’re set for a holiday party. One thing I find is that I don’t love to wear read or green for the holidays which is why I went for white. Still festive, but not overly festive.

Look 2: Holiday at Home

After creating this post, I put all of these pieces into a cart and checked out. This is seriously a Christmas dream. With Covid, everyone’s holiday plans are so up in the air or just different than usual so why not have a cozy look ready to go. Not to mention, this set is from Target and was incredibly affordable for how nice it looks. I paired it with slipper, maybe you just got them for Christmas from my gift guide and a soft scrunchy. Simple yet cozy and giving me all the holiday feels.

Look 3: Glammed Up Holiday

I mean this velvet green dress is everything. I usually don’t do anything crazy for the holidays where I would need a look like this but I might just get this dress to have. Green or red on the holidays isn’t always my favorite but these deep almost forest green is festive but doesn’t screen Christmas. I paired this with neutral gold hinted accessories and you’re set for your glam holiday party.

Look 4: New Year’s Glam

Let me just tell you, I am all for the sparkle on New Year’s Eve and this dress from Lulus is seriously doing it for me. I love how the dress isn’t super structured so the sequins don’t sit weird. One thing I hate usually about glitter dresses is they end up sitting weird but with this material it looks great. I paired it with these subtly sparkly Steve Madden heels and these incredibly affordable earrings.

Look 5: Cozy Ball Drop

Nothing says New Year to me than new pajamas. These silk Skims ones are to die for and give you a little bit of that glam feel you want for NYE but get to be comfy. I paired this with another pair of super cozy slippers and of course, the iconic Barefoot Dreams blanket. Ring in the New Year cozy but looking and feeling great.

Fall Fashion Must Haves

Contrary to what the weather man is saying, it is fall according to the calendar which means its finally time for fall fashion. Fashion blogs are my absolute favorite posts to do and fall fashion makes it all worth it. When I think of fall I absolutely think of booties, sweaters, and a good statement jacket. Having these simple accessories as staples in your wardrobe will make creating outfits so quick and easy.

My first must have is a cozy sweater. With my new internship, although its hot outside its so cold in the office. Having a cozy sweater not only keeps me warm but it also adds to whatever I’m wearing. I find that a big chunky sweater or cardigan really gives any outfit that fall look but gives you the freedom with layers to not be sweating. These two cardigans are from Topshop and were $68. Although pricy, I had to jump on them because they are the perfect chunky oversize cardigan that I have been looking for.

My second must have are a good pair of suede booties. I do love leather but I find that the texture of a suede bootie gives off a comfier, cozier vibe. I know booties are often times hard to find that you like, but my go to fall shoe store is always Steve Madden. They always have the cutest shoes and are really up on the trends of the seasons. These booties I have had for 3 seasons now and they’re still really in great shape. I highly recommend Steve Madden not just for fall but for good quality shoes that will last you.

My final fall outfit must have is a good statement jacket. Whether the jacket is denim or leather, it nonetheless really helps to make the outfit. I love this black leather jacket from Topshop but I also find myself gravitating towards oversized jean jackets with hoodies. I really love the look of it and its definitely so cozy. Fall is perfect to try out new jacket styles too because its not cold enough to where you only want to wear your heavy puffer jacket.

Fall fashion is seriously my favorite time of year. It’s cool enough to break out sweaters but its never as miserably cold as winter is. Fall is also a major time for fashion trends with fall fashion week so there’s always fashion inspiration everywhere. I hope my must haves help you in your fall fashion endeavors.

Summer Date Night Looks

Imagine this: it’s a gorgeous July night and you think you have nothing to wear to go out on a date. You’re rummaging through your closet thinking that nothing works and no outfits are cute enough. Does that sound like you? Because it’s literally me every time I go out on a date or out to dinner with friends. Like I always say, the summer is the perfect time to try out new outfit trends and these are some of my favorite outfits for a date night look.

This maxi skirt is from WildFable by Target and so is the crop top I paired it with. These types of skirts are so in right now and really give off a romantic vibe. I paired this look with a platform sneaker so that it’s still pretty casual but it looks like you tried.

I love a good denim skirt for a date night. Denim helps to make outfits a little more casual but the skirt adds just the right amount of girly that you might be looking for on a date. I will admit, tube tops are so obnoxious but I think that they go so well with skirts and are great because you don’t have to wear a bra. To accessorize this look, I added my Gucci belt but you can add any cute belt to pull this look together.

Whoever told you not to wear denim shorts on a date was lying. I absolutely love the cut of these shorts from TopShop. They really help to make my legs look leaner and give off a little more edgy vibe with how they are distressed. I literally love bodysuits for dates because they ALWAYS help to show off your great figure regardless of your shape. This body suit is from J Crew last year but really has a feminine vibe with the off the shoulder ruffles.

These date night looks are sure to win over the heart of your cute date. I am obsessed with these summer trends and I hope that you are too. Summer date nights might seem super intimidating but by just taking a deeper look into your closet, you’ll find exactly what you need to create the perfect look.

Sneakers you NEED to Have in Your Closet

I think a major fashion trend this summer that you need to get on this summer if you aren’t already on it is a sneaker. I love this trend because sneakers used to be seen as only something you could wear with athletic clothes. Now, everyone is just throwing sneakers on with any outfit and turning it into the cutest look. Today I’m going to be sharing with you my top 5 sneakers that you should have in your closet.

  1. Nike Air Force 1s

If you follow me on instagram, @cassiedenisco, then you know my love of these shoes. I have the special edition ones with the stars but the plain ones are just as cute. I absolutely love throwing these sneakers on with any outfit because they add such a cool vibe. I would absolutely invest in a pair of these sneakers because they can also transition really well into a fall shoe.

2. Adidas Super Stars

These are the perfect tennis shoes for wherever your summer will take you. I love these sneakers with shorts or even a t-shirt dress. I also love the little pop of color that they come with in the Adidas stripes on the side. I think you need both these and an Air Force 1 because they’re really two different vibes. The Air Force 1s are chunky and slim your leg but these are so comfortable and seriously go with everything.

3. Adidas XPLR

I would say that you could get really any type of running shoe, but I kid you not these are the most comfortable sneakers ever. I love to wear them to workout or even just running errands. I love the pink but I know that these sneakers come in more neutral colors as well. I wouldn’t wear these sneakers with any outfit but I do suggest these because they are so so comfortable.

4. Converse or Vans

I’m putting these two sneakers together because to me, they are pretty similar. I think that there is just something about Converse and Vans that makes it feel like summer. These sneakers are the perfect summer shoe because they are not too thick or heavy but will give you some support for whatever you’re doing.

5. Slip on Sneakers

Steve Madden is my go to for these types of sneakers. I have them in like every color and they are so comfortable. These sneakers are the best on days you want to look put together but are feeling super lazy. I absolutely love my all white ones for spring and summer because they make me look tanner and also slim my legs.

Whether you’re a big sneaker person or not, there’s no denying that the sneaker trend is here to stay. I absolutely love that sneakers are becoming such a big part in outfits because who doesn’t love high fashion but being comfortable at the same time?
