My WIWs have been getting away from me this holiday season, so here are four from the past week all together. The photography is pretty bad in some of these (dark mirror shots, and weird faces); sorry about that!
1: Christmas eve. Wore this to a casual dinner and present opening at my in-laws' house. It's really hard to tell with the bad lighting, but I am doing double plaid, red scarf and green pants, here. (Same pants as in the last photo, so just imagine them with the scarf!).

2-3: Christmas day. Again, casual stuff with the in-laws. Went to a movie, had home-cooked meals, and played board games. I got red Haflinger kitty slippers for Christmas, so I actually wore those in the house rather than the boots (which were worn to the movie and to go back and forth from our apartment). I finally figured out (after fiddling with it all day, sadly) that the way to keep a layered silk blouse from shifting all over the place and pulling the sweater along with it is to tuck it in. Doh!

4-5: Wore my snake print dress over jeans and boots to go to lab for a few hours and then out for drinks with friends. This is not a super interesting outfit, but I thought it was interesting that I originally started with #4, with the shorter boots, and thought it was stumpifying. I switched to tall boots (#5) and it was so much better! Seems a little counterintuitive because you would think long dress/tunic should go with shorter boots to show more leg, but maybe it's because the jeans are pretty light and high contrast with the rest of the outfit.
ON dress, Vince Jeans, Naot boots.
6: Worn today (Saturday) for running errands. Lots of textures (flannely pants, coated leather-look panels on the cardi, weird metallic stretchy material on the boots) and patterns. The necklace is a random long one I rediscovered in my jewelry box; it was a bit long so I tied it into a lariat, which I thought was fun.
