Christmas Day

Day 21

We’ve waited 364 days for this day, so let’s dress like it, shall we? I can’t tell you how happy I am to celebrate Colette’s first Christmas… even though she’s too tiny to have ANY idea what’s going on. Perhaps seeing Mom dress like a human glitter bomb will help reinforce that this day is BIG?

For Christmas Day this year, my game plan is to not just decorate with tinsel, but to basically BE the tinsel. This season’s emphasis on sequins has me excited to sparkle, and I’m simply not willing to wait until New Year’s Eve. The good news is that since Rent The Runway Unlimited exists, I can fully embrace the sequined trend on Christmas Day, without making a major investment. All the fun, none of the commitment. Sign me up.

FYI, Rent The Runway has been kind enough to offer the BEST discount for my readers: with code RTRMARY you get 50% off your first month of RTR Unlimited, which is better than any Black Friday or holiday sales that Rent the Runway is having this year!

In case you haven’t heard me wax on about this service in the past, here’s the skinny: Rent The Runway Unlimited is a membership option that allows you to literally rent unlimited clothing from their endless supply, essentially turning your closet into a department store. Now that’s a gift. Each membership has four rental “spots” so you can rotate clothing in and out as often as you’d like—and you can even add extra spots if you need them!

For Christmas Day, I’m taking full advantage of my membership to snag the Merlot Sequin Sheath by Badgley Mischka. This captivatingly sequined sheath has a crew neck, fitted bodice, and the most stunning plunging draped back, ever, which you can check out here. I’m competing with the Christmas tree for best dressed, and honestly, I’m feeling good about my chances.

I’ve styled this dress with two other pieces from Rent The Runway Unlimited which is monumentally convenient while caring for an actual infant, wrapping gifts, running a household, and having a day job, to say nothing of a social life. Honestly, even my Google Calendar has put in for its own vacation days. First, I’m accenting the dress with festive statement earrings in jewel tones by Kenneth Jay Lane, and because I’d prefer not to freeze solid, I’m topping off the look with the burgundy Faux Fur Madam Butterfly Jacket by Unreal Fur.
