HOLIDAY LOOKS FROM THE ARCHIVES

12.24.20

I still haven’t decided if I’ll go to the effort of dressing up over the holidays, but something about ringing in a new year, especially this time, feels as though it warrants some panache.

I didn’t buy or add anything new for the holiday season so I thought it would be fun to share some looks from occasions past. Maybe this will inspire an outfit for you as well!

Enjoy this dressy little trip down memory lane! At the end I’m sharing a way back play back from my brief obsession with graphic tees and statement necklaces, circa 2013.

PS. If there’s one thing that puts me into a festive spirit, it’s a great red lip. My favourites for a bold touch are either UNDONE or FRINGE from KOSÅS.

WAY BACK PLAY BACK CIRCA 2013

FROM MY OH-SO-CHIC DAYS OF GRAPHIC TEES, GILDED MINIS, BIB NECKLACES, AND DANGEROUSLY SHEER TIGHTS. I REMEMBER THIS OUTFIT SO FONDLY FROM A POINT IN TIME WHEN I WAS FINDING MYSELF AND MY STYLE.



Thanks for joining this little trip down memory lane!

    WOW, your hair was so beautiful in waves and honey colors mixed in with the brown. Maybe consider that again?

    • Lee the Bee says:

      Thanks Mary! Those honey colours have since been replaced by greys lol. Trying to embrace my hair’s natural evolution but I’ll admit those were some good hair days 🙂 Wishing you a happy new year! xo

  2. Oh wow, I almost didn’t recognize you in the last one! (But I kind of recognized myself. I too had a gilded mini, bib necklace thing going on for a bit.)

    • Lee the Bee says:

      Haha I know what you mean, feels a bit like another lifetime. I was definitely influenced by the J.Crew catalogue during those times. lol Ps. Happy New year! xo
