I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas and was able to spend time with family and loved ones!  I wore this outfit to Christmas dinners with my family and my boyfriend's family, and it consists of a couple of my current favorite items in my closet.  I love the fit and collar detail of this Zara "Checked Blazer with Elbow Patches," seen before on the blog in this post: The Checked Blazer with Elbow Patches.  These burgundy Paige jeans have also been getting some serious mileage this season, seen in these posts: Burgundy Denim and Style Remix: Burgundy Denim.
