More festive outfits for December, 3b

My last post was getting long so this one includes some things I have been wearing. Some could be worn for a casual gathering.
1-2: today’s outfit to wrap gifts and maybe greet delivery people. The cotton sequined sweater and scarf are about 8 years old be saved to be worn this time of year. The bottoms are pull on heavy denim joggers that feel like they are lined.
3/4 is an off white turtleneck with off white puffer vest with burgundy Ponte pants that look black here. The scarf is flannel from my sister with a moose print.
5-10 is an outfit of black velvet pants with a silver sequined top, silver and black sparkly scarf (9) and sparkly earrings and pewter booties worn on a cold snowy day. #10 shows the velvet pants best. They have a black ribbon racing stripe down the side seam of each leg that does not show up. The jacket is EF jersey and part of my December capsule, although I could wear the black tuxedo jacket from the last post for a more dressy look.
11: my Feliz Naughty Dog socks worn today with the red sweater and blue denim joggers. Going out I will add navy suede booties. What, if anything, do you like. What changes do you suggest?

Festive outfits #3 WIW and WIPTW

Probably my last festive outfit WIW for the season as I have included What I Plan To Wear for Christmas and New Years if there were parties and get together as usual. Photo 1: this is the Indian garment I love for this time of year. I wear it over a column of black, a black dress or pants and black top, black silk for warm weather, a black sweater or long silk underwear or Heat tech when it is cold. I add gold jewelry and party flats or even dressy black boots.
2/3 is a favorite New Years Eve outfit that can also be tweaked for the weather, if I do not take off the jacket, Heat Tech or wool can be layered under the sequined shell. And footwear varied depending on the weather. I tend to wear shiny accessories.
Photo 4 is EF bone that can be worn with bone casual or silk lantern pants with different weights of tops depending on the weather and bone suede booties or dressier patent shoes.
Photos 5-8 show today’s outfit the red sequined top and scarf are being worn casually with jeans and long denim blue cardigan but they are favorite part of a Christmas Eve outfit with dressier bottoms or for a concert on a cold night.
8 is a close up of the sparkly earrings.
This is getting long. I will share some outfits I have been wearing on another thread.

Today’s Gold & Black outfit and a few other festive casuals for December

The blogger’s outfit that Inge posted today reminded me of a favorite for this time of year. It is an outfit that I wear often in December. My pants are gold metallic fabric but not sequins. They are black on the underside so I like to wear them with black. I do not have a bag anything g like the one that the blogger is using. On my screen the black top and topper look more like a deep navy blue. I wonder if navy would also work with the gold pants. I would certainly wear this to a casual get-together or even to open gifts when one is on the floor with little ones who need help with ties and packaging. I would add gold sparkly jewelry and my bag would probably be gold metallic. The last few photos show a similar outfit in silver, which could be worn with black, white or grey.
Photos1-3: gold and black.
4-6: white/bone With puffer vest
7/8: red, with puffer vest. Which bag do you prefer?
9-11: silver
