16 Pairs of Plaid Holiday Shoes

Plaid Holiday Shoes

Velvet Leggings (Spanx has a great version, too. See them also in velour. The Commando pair comes in leather, too.) / Plaid Bow Flats (Also available in this print.)

Every year, I promise myself a calm holiday season… and every year, it’s completely chaotic, haha. What am I doing wrong?! I think it’s partially due to what Mitch said in his recent post: that Thanksgiving and Christmas are far too close together. Like, there’s simply not enough time between the two! And then, I suppose, there’s that severe case of FOMO I so often suffer from. I want to do everything and see everyone, and also spend time with my family and then run this blog as well. Ah, well. ;) There are definitely bigger problems to have.

Either way, I’m wearing as much tartan as I can between now and the 25th. (As you know. 😜) So I thought I’d highlight some of my favorite plaid footwear for 2017!

I always drag my feet with holiday decorating. It’s such a daunting job! Worth it in the end, yes, but oof. 😜

But this year, Mitch surprised me and put up all the outdoor garland while I was upstairs cleaning. It was the best Christmas gift anyone could have given me this year. 😆 Thank you, thank you, thank you, Sweet Husband!

Serena & Lily South Seas Bar Cart

South Seas Bar Cart (Large) c/o / South Seas Side Cart (Small) / South Seas Console Table
