Floral for Christmas Eve

12/28/15 | Bauble Bar, David Yurman, Fashion and Style, Fashion Friday, Rebecca Minkoff

Floral for Christmas Eve 02

There is a general rule in Florida, you do not wear black.  That becomes a bit of an issue because the majority of my wardrobe is black but for Christmas Eve dinner with my family I found something that mixed my very dark closet with a spot of Florida sunshine. I picked up this pink orchid dress in Cape Cod two summers ago and it has been sitting at the back of my closet since and I figured this trip to Florida would be a good time to for it’s maiden voyage.

I chose to pair the floral dress with a high bun, BaubleBar Crystal View Earrings, pale pink nails, a David Yurman classic cable bracelet, black peep-toe pumps, and my new Rebecca Minkoff Quilted Mini Affair Bag – a nice mix of the Big Apple and the Sunshine State.

After a few photos in front of my parent’s tree with all of the adorable homemade ornaments we headed off to dinner.  My parents and brother were kind enough to humor me with a family photo in the sitting room before we our delicious Christmas Eve feast.

If you have been around Sparkles and Shoes a while you will know every holiday I spend in Florida is filled with fresh seafood and Christmas Eve was no exception.  The King Crab claws and oysters were absolutely amazing as was the wine, the company, and the rest of the meal – cheers!

    Kelly, you look amazing. We traveled down from western Michigan to the Indianapolis suburb of Fishers to celebrate Christmas with our daughter @Kim Poncombe-Cole (who also follows you) and her family.. Since both the hubby and I are having some health issuess we didn’t go to Christmas Eve services but just being with family was so worth the drive down❣ Enjoy being with your family.

    I love the dress & peep toe heels. Nice to see you spend Christmas with family in Florida. Christmas Eve I went to movies and watched football with my part time boyfriend. Christmas Day I rode my bike with my family/boyfriend on the bike path overlooking the Verrazano bridge to take advantage of the warm NY weather. Then for dinner I dressed up in a nice orange dress and ate well. Christmas eve it was 72F here and Christmas Day it was 63F. Almost Summer like for me. Welcome back to you.
