For a cookie exchange at our friends' house, the vibe is festive but not extremely formal. Continuing with the concept of having a festive or formalwear capsule wardrobe, I reused some pieces I've already worn on the blog to give a completely different look for this holiday get together. This is the same skirt I wore in this post, and the same fabulous shoes from Payless that I wore in this post. Adding a plaid shirt (last seen in this post) gives a more relaxed vibe, but the red threads through it makes it feel appropriate for the season and ties in the sparkly heels. A red lip and Santa hat is all that's needed to complete the look! Payless is a great resource for finding fabulous shoes for your formalwear capsule wardrobe. Payless does a fantastic job of offering current trends for less. These shoes are amazing; the ombre effect makes them unique and not too Wizard of Oz-looking. If heels aren't your thing you're in luck; Payless offers this same glorious ombre red glitter look in their Chelsea flat (the Chelsea flat also comes in a silver to gold ombre glitter that is gorgeous but unfortunately neither color were in my size at my nearby store). But such a shoe is exactly what can take basics in your wardrobe and make them holiday ready for very little cost.

I've had a great time featuring Payless shoes this holiday season; I've been to two different Payless stores multiple times this winter and they're well organized, the staff friendly, and the selection quite good offering everything from on-trend ankle strap heeled sandals to comfortable work pumps, wedding shoes to running shoes, adorable statement flats to cozy slippers. Payless continues to impress me with their quality especially considering their phenomenal low prices. In my previous Payless posts many have asked if these shoes are comfortable; these heels are a bit high for a long day on your feet but the Mira Pumps I wore in the last post are some of the most comfortable pumps I own with a flexible rubber sole, padded footbed, and wearable heel height. Payless will continue to be a destination where I find great prices on great shoes for me and my family! Get more style inspiration by following Payless on Pinterest!
