I will always look back on the 2021 holiday season fondly as "the year with all the parties." After such a secluded 2020, it seemed as though every one of our friends and colleagues was ready to host, celebrate, and make merry in the very best ways. I'm not sure the babysitting category of our budget had ever been higher, as my husband and I eagerly RSVPed "yes" to every invitation, filling our December weekends with parties and gatherings. This month will be much slower in our house, as we settle into life with our new baby girl, but even so, I can't help but dream up Christmas celebration outfits to pair with some of my current favorite Maylis styles. I hope the ideas below offer a touch of inspiration...and I'd love to hear what events you're dressing up for so I can live vicariously!
