Holiday Fashion Ideas: What To Wear To Grandma's

Obviously, it's justified to buy a new outfit (or two) for the holidays. Now, I'm not one to jump to conclusions, but if I had to guess, the clothing you wear to "dress up" in Oxford, Ohio, will not fly for the holidays at your grandparents'. But don't fret; there's no need to compromise your style in order to be conservative. Here are 10 ways to look effortlessly chic for family holiday festivities!

1. Front-Snap Skirt

The front-snap skirt is a hot commodity right now and a perfect option for Thanksgiving. Pair it with a snuggly sweater and boots! The snaps are great for when you're regretting that extra slice of pie.

The holidays are about being with family and friends, so don't stress about dressing to the tens!

Just an idea, though.
