Problem is, I don't have many cold-weather clothes since it's warm here in my part of California for most of the year, and festive cold-weather clothes are even harder to find in my closet. Soooo, after looking through what I had I finally realized that I could wear one of my summer tops with a thin, long-sleeved tee underneath. And that's just what I did. Here's what I came up with:
I paired this Free People "Nemrana Princess" tank (which has a glittery little accent at the neckline that's perfect for this type of occasion) with a long-sleeved, thin cotton tee (in a dark teal color and wide scoop neckline) underneath:
This is one of my favorite tops and I'm glad I got to wear it in the winter!
I paired the top with my J Brand 910 skinny jeans (in dark brown) which have a slight sheen to them that's beautiful in the evening:
And the final accents were these sequined, embroidered Report "Turka" flats (mine are the dark-colored ones on the extreme left, with peacock-blue sequins that matched the top perfectly):
The whole outfit looked really nice, and made me feel so happy! For the first time in years, I finally got the annual school Christmas party outfit right, for a change! That brought me some much-needed Holiday cheer. ^_^
P.S., as soon as I get myself a good camera, I'll start posting photos of myself actually wearing different outfits like what I see in everyone's blogs. Stay tuned!

OH I LOVE that!!! it sounds like it looked great-and comfy, running after pre-schoolers(I know, I ahve one at home)!when I was a teacher I almost always wore colorful flats instead of heels!
very cute.
Thanks! :o) We've been putting on this Christmas program for years now, but this was the first year my outfit for it really worked well. Usually I end up being too casual or uncomfortable, and I feel that as a teacher I should project a better image, even though it's not a professional office-type job.
i definitely like! Your look seems practical yet fun and cute :-)
Thanks Lady D!
