My everyday outfit usually involves something I wear to the gym, sweats or jeans. I know the daily prompt called for 2 things and that’s technically 3. Oh well, it’s still a whole lot less than what I used to have to consider when I worked in an office.
I confess, I have a stuffed closet. I haven’t bought any work related clothes since 2019, when I bought a suit for an in person interview. After that, me and and the rest of the world went to Zoom meetings.
I do have a ton of gym wear – I went a little nuts with the discounts that I could get when I started teaching group fitness. But that’s ok, since I’m at the gym 4-5 days a week, I tell myself it was worth it. Lately I haven’t bought much new, but I do check out Salvation Army and Value Village for any vintage finds.
I treated myself to one item for the holiday season, though:
I had been eyeing this skirt for the last couple of weeks, and decided to pop into the Old Navy right next to my gym on Friday. This same skirt was on clearance for $13.99. And I had some loyalty points so I paid seven whole dollars for it! That’s like 85% off. I wore this last night for a family holiday dinner. Comfy and casual with black hose, the teeny bit of sheen giving the holiday flavour. We are hosting my family for Christmas this year, and this will also work well as hostess. It’s hard to believe there was ever a time when I used to buy a new evening gown every holiday season for the big company soirees that my husband and I attended. Times sure have changed, and thank goodness, as things are just all so ridiculously expensive now.
Do you have any holiday events to dress up for this year?
At a time 
Old Navy is so reliable for great clothes – I love them!
I don’t have any fancy holiday parties this year. Although my mom, my stepdad, and I have a tradition of going to a fancy Christmas Eve dinner at a steakhouse and I try to get a LITTLE dressed up for that because it’s fun to do so. 🙂

I do not have any events to dress up for, but if I need to dress up, there’s plenty of little black dresses in my closet!

I don’t have any dressy holiday events to get dressed up for. My closet was a disaster, but I am in the process of really overhauling it. That’s a cute skirt. I love shopping and I have so many things that I haven’t worn in forever. I got rid of a full garbage bag of clothes or more.

WOW. That is a very cute skirt! And, you can’t beat that price. I’m thinking I need to hightail it over to Old Navy. I’m in desperate need of new clothes, although I don’t think I’ll have any events I have to dress up for this month. Phew.

Love that skirt. What a good deal.
I dont have any parties to dress up. And I dont have any fancy cocktail dresses in my closet. However friends and us have decided to do a glam out night in smoking and dress and sit at the Waldorf Astoria fro drinks in the new year. I am looking forward to that.

I rarely have events to dress up for, but I’ll be spending the holidays in Germany with my family for the first time in a decade and we tend to get dressed up for Christmas Eve, so I am hoping to pull out a dress for that 🙂
I love that you found an inexpensive, beautiful skirt that can be dressed up and is comfortable!
