Plus Size Holiday Plaid Outfit

The holidays are upon us. I have a Christmas song stuck in my head that I can’t for the life of me remember who sings it, which is usually the first sign for me that it is officially the holiday season. Lol. And I’ve already started wrapping presents! But don’t get it twisted, I am generally disorganized and always procrastinate. So ultimately I will still be wrapping presents, looking for what to wear, half-assed-ly making some kind of dessert, stressed out, and overwhelmed on Christmas Eve. Every year. It never fails! But, dear readers, I am [hopefully] lending a hand so you don’t end up like me!

To help you out, I am creating gift guides, which I am still working on, so stay tuned for more. I also have some great selections of plus size party dresses for your holiday parties and NYE celebrations (here, here, and here). I also have a Pinterest board devoted to plus size party dresses. And I even put together some more “casual yet sparkly” outfits (my favorite), which could work for a number of occasions. Oh and lastly, I am working on some plus size looks for your holiday dinner, including the one below. But, I also wanted to mention my “Thanksgiving Outfits” which would also work very nicely for Christmas day. See part 1, part 2, and the “Southern edition.”

And now about the awesome plus size holiday plaid outfit below. I saw this plus size plaid a-line (so flattering) scalloped hem skirt {sold out, similar} at Talbots and was like: “I must create a post about this skirt, immediately!” This skirt can easily be dressed up or down. In this look, I did a little of both. A cozy turtleneck sweater is “glammed up” with some crystal jewels and black pumps. Btw, I would add black tights for added warmth and coverage. But you could also wear the skirt with a pair of wide calf riding boots and a denim shirt.
