What NYC Recessionista Wears: Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve night, the hubs and I headed to his sister’s house to have dinner with his side of the family. It was low-key, cozy and warm. Just perfect.

I love tunics because you know they’re always going to be long enough to cover your bum. Seriously … and you know that if you go out in the cold, it won’t be too drafty.  Yes, this is my criteria for sweaters now that I am in my 30s.

Gray and berry is a great color combination too — perfect for the holidays as an alternative to red and green.
