Casual Holiday Style
It’s sweater season, and I love wearing fun oversized sweaters during the winter. This sweater poncho is from Peach’s winter collection.
This effortlessly easy poncho will be your go-to look for your everyday and the upcoming holiday party circuit. It features a flattering mock neckline and chic asymmetric crossover design that elevates this otherwise classic, cozy silhouette. It also comes in black.
Dress it up or down with a change of shoes to fit the occasion – this oversized fit is perfect for indulging in holiday treats with friends and family.
A scarf is the most effective way to transform an otherwise plain outfit. After all, a scarf is genuinely modern yet seasonless.
You can switch to your favorite holiday scarves for a more festive look! This silk print scarf is perfect for the fall season.
I am wearing faux leather pants from Peach with the poncho. I have had them since last year, and they are my favorite pants for colder weather! These pants are currently on sale, so I highly recommend you grab a pair! I love the stretch, and these pants look so great with so many tops!
Are you a martini drinker? What’s your favorite holiday cocktail?
Thank you to Peach for partnering with me on this post. As always, all opinions are my own.
Very festive post with a lovely feel. The martini’s all look so yummy and glamorous. The clothes look fabulous on you. These ponchos are so handy. Thanks for sharing!
