Tara Jane Style

I’m not a religious person so to me the holidays aren’t about anything other than celebrating my family, friends, and the conclusion of the year, but that doesn’t mean I don’t love to participate in the events!

I thought it would be fun to list out some common December events and share what outfits I’d wear as a plus or mid size, pear shaped, 16/18 top and 18/20 bottom.

Sharing some low-key and some more dressed up options below. Shop the looks on my LTK.it.

Cookie Baking Party Look

These pants are super flowy with a stretch waistband so they are very comfortable, but look really elevated. Perfect for cookie baking parties, gift wrapping parties or even just for every night on the couch leading up to Christmas haha.

Holiday Lights Tour Outfit

The perfect outfit for grabbing some eggnog and then driving around to look at Holiday Lights with your date.

Outfit For A Holiday Play

There are always so many things to see in theater or at orchestra hall around the holidays. Common ones are obviously The Nutcracker and the Trans Siberian Orchestra, but I also love that the Minnesota Orchestra tends to do movie themed nights like playing the music from Elf.

This outfit is Grandma approved ✅

Work Holiday Party Look

A work holiday party outfit to me usually teeters on a business casual and professional look. I like to keep it work appropriate, but do let outside of work Tara’s personality come to play!

Friends Holiday Party

My look for a friend holiday party is generally a mixture of comfortable and elevated. These faux leather joggers have been a staple in my closet for a couple years, but honestly a faux leather pant would work great here, too.
