Christmas Eve is one of my favorite holiday traditions! Every year we have a nice Christmas eve dinner with beef tenderloin, many delicious sides and of course biscuit tortoni for dessert! Everyone hangs out and relaxes and we have a small gift exchange- each person in the extended family buys a gift for another person so we all get one gift on Christmas Eve!
And of course there’s always the internal debate- what to wear? Go formal with a nice dress, tights and dressy jewelery? Or go casual with jeans and a red or green shirt? This year I think I’ll go somewhere in the middle, which I’m going to call Christmas Eve Cozy!
Jeans and a cozy embellished sweater should do the trick! I love the jeweled shoulder embellishments on this JCrew sweater- the perfect pop of sparkle for a casual Christmas Eve. Add a super fuzzy scarf to keep extra warm! This one is bit out of budget, but it sure is pretty with this outfit! I would bring a little color to the outfit with some bright red earrings (Kate Spade) and these checkered loafers from JCrew– I am obsessed with these shoes right now and all the different colors they have!
You can see all the outfit details for this outfit on my polyvore page, as well as other past outfit creations!

I love this outfit idea, Rachel. The sweater is simple with just enough embellishment to make it perfect for the holidays!
I love this outfit, Rachel. It looks comfortable, and it's festive. A perfect combination!
Love, love, LOVE this outfit!
Those shoes are so cute!
Love the whole thing, especially the shoes!
I need you to come over and style me with things from my closet! This outfit is so adorable – and just my style! Love it!
Since we go to church on Christmas Eve, we always do the dressy stuff then and then casual on Christmas Day, so this would be a great December 25th outfit for me π I just LOVE that sweater and those shoes!!!
Love this outfit, cozy and cute at the same time! I'm definitely inspired to style somethign similar!

What a nice cozy outfit. I would totally do this outfit!
Beautiful! I haven't been in a J. Crew store for a long time until this past weekend. Love the current styles!
Your Christmas Eve dinner sounds delicious. π And that outfit is the type of thing I'd wear, too. A cute, glam sweater with comfy jeans. I real like it. Except I'd wear boots. I wear nothing but boots all winter. π
It looks so comfy! Mine will be my jammies as I finish getting everything ready for the next day π
Adorable outfit, i love the smoking flats!
Those shoes are heavenly!
This is a perfect Christmas Eve outfit, you could even be baking cookies in the morning in it. I really love how the shoulders are embellished, so you still see the crystals with the scarf on… love the berry colors, too!! Cute!
