| Polka dot swallow top by Agoraphobix |
there is something super corny about holidays and holiday cheer, and yet its addictive somehow. you cant not get carried away with the mood!
everyone is out food shopping for the big dinner, and as the evening creeps up the street get quite and there isn't a soul outside. everybody is getting organized to go to their family dinner.
So you go and get ready, you put on your makeup, and fix your hair. you go to dress up open the closet door and .... nothing. somehow between being festive and dressing up something huge was missed. Your stuck with the choice between choosing the wonderful red green and white reindeer knit sweater your nana gave you last year or the super slutty misses clause dress you bought for that costume party a while back.
How do you stay true to yourself while being festive and marry? that question sticks with me every festive dinner.
I dont want to dress like a dolly and be all precocious but there is no way Im wearing my clubbing gear to dinner either!
I dedicated the past week to searching the web for some cool Christmas gear you can use for the holiday, and after it to, since its not overly Christmassy and still has that alternative rebel appeal you like. Im a solid believer in buying things you will use more than once a year!
So I went on my magical search to Christmas land, where red green and white are an acceptable combination and tinsels are considered a lovely bonus. Where grown people are suppose to wear clothing with elves on them and Rudolfo nose is cold because hes cold, not drunk!
It wasn't an easy trip believe me, in the land of oversized shapeless sweaters that make YOU feel like Santa!
But I did find some nice surprises that will warm your heart and will make your headache from all the caroling go away!

| tartan splat & skull pants by Agoraphobix |
we all know that a combination of green red and white is the trick, but how the hell can you make that cool in day to day wear? well usually just a combination of 2 of the colors, but in some exceptions even three!
For example check out these punk tartan and skull fabric pants, they have all the festive colors but will still look super cool after the holidays are over!
