Before we get started on today’s post…
From the very bottom of our hearts, Shay and I want to thank you for your generosity and kindness yesterday. Y’all showed up in a big way. We surpassed our $20,000 goal yesterday, which means that together we have now raised over $208,000 for St. Jude! LET THAT SINK IN! I get teary thinking of how many lives have been touched and how many families have been blessed over the last 4 years.
I also want to announce the winner of the Louis Vuitton bag! CONGRATULATIONS to Carly Heideger (Towson, MD)! We will be e-mailing you so you can claim your prize!
Okay, on to today’s post!

THE AVARA HOLIDAY COLLECTION
PAJAMA SET 50% OFF
This 2-piece pajama set is adorable as can be. And it comes wrapped up in a red bow, perfect for gifting! (I’m kicking myself for not getting a pic of the set all tied up with the bow.) The pink and red plaid is so festive and the ruffles on the trim of the top and on the pants is just extra adorable. Picture yourself in these on Christmas morning. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.
Regularly $88, only $44 today only!

SWEATER 50% OFF
This khaki and black bow sweater is super soft and quite obviously super cute. I love the cropped fit (that’s not too cropped), and the black velvet bows make this sweater special. I will probably style this even more casually with sneakers, but I could also dress it up with black denim and black booties. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.
Regularly $58, only $29 today only! If I had to pick a favorite from the post, I think it might be this sweater.

Wanna see it dressed up a bit with black jeans? I gotchu! 😉

SWEATER 50% OFF
This classic grey sweater isn’t basic at all, it’s elevated with a large bow made of sequins! I love how this sweater will have you holiday ready, but it’s not in your face with red and green plaid and reindeers. The sequin bow gives it a fun twist on a holiday sweater for sure. I could also see me styling this with black denim and possibly a sparkly flat. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

SWEATER 50% OFF
This red bow sweater is DARLING. I mean, how could it not be? It combines bows with polka dots! I love the silhouette with the tiny puff at the shoulder and the balloon sleeves with the long and tight cuffs. This would be perfect with sneakers for running around town getting Christmas shopping done, but it would also be great for a casual holiday get together. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.
Regularly $74, only $37 today only!
red bow sweater / wide leg denim / white tree earrings / pearl and gold bangle
And while not 50% OFF, I’m full blown obsessed with this wide leg denim, and they are truly an amazing deal. They’re from Risen (one of our very favorite denim brands), and they are totally on trend with the wide leg, cropped length, and frayed hem. And keep in mind that because of the frayed hem, you can easily cut them and customize them to the exact length you need!
There’s great stretch and no distressing, which I know is a requirement for many of you. I’m telling you, these look and fit like designer denim. These are the 27s which is true to size for me. If you’re often between sizes, I would suggest sizing down because of the stretch.
You can use the code SIMS15 for 15% OFF of the denim (and anything else you see on the site that’s not part of the holiday collection). Remember, the holiday stuff automatically goes 50% OFF when added to cart.

SWEATER 50% OFF
Do you like pink? What about rhinestones? What about bows?
If you do, then this pink rhinestone bow sweater is for YOU.
This pink is vibrant and gorgeous, but the sweater also comes in black (which looks very elegant) and white. And the rhinestone bows are playful and pretty. I love it with jeans, but this sweater would also look great with a satin skirt! For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.
Regularly $78, only $39 today only!

This bracelet is fab and it’s on sale for only $9.

SWEATER 50% OFF
This sparkly pink sweater is soft, cozy, a beautiful color, and boasts microsequin details. It’s not boxy at all, but it definitely has a relaxed fit (so it’s very forgiving). For size reference, I’m wearing a medium, but I wish I had a small. I would definitely suggest sizing down.
Regularly $68, only $34 today only!

I mean! How fun is this PARTY sweater!?!
Wear it to a Christmas party, wear it to a New Year’s Eve party, or throw your own party for no reason at all and wear it. 😉 I like it styled casually, but you can click over to the site to see it styled with a silver lame skirt. #fancy

SWEATER 50% OFF
This sparkly cardigan is really sparkly, but obviously quite chic. I love a cardi that can be styled either on top of a tee or cami OR by itself, and I’ve really been enjoying styling them without anything underneath. It’s soft on the skin underneath, but the outside is kind of crunchy because of the sequins. Does that make sense? Haha! This would be a great sweater for a holiday party or New Year’s Eve. I’m wearing a medium, but I’m going to be exchanging it for a small. I would definitely suggest sizing down.

So cute with black jeans too…

SWEATER 50% OFF
This top is another understated holiday piece. It’s a textured chevron in a deep green, and the pops of white really set it off. It’s got faux front pockets, brass buttons, and a whole lot of style. I’m wearing it with booties here, but it would be great with flats too. I’d also like it with boot cut jeans and heels. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

SWEATER 50% OFF
There’s not much I love more than a red and pink color combo, and this mock neck sweater delivers. It’s a perfect Christmas red with pink accents on the collar and sleeves. Personally, I prefer a crew neck or a mock neck (because I have no neck and need a little skin to show!)… but I know lots of y’all love a mock neck. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

AND HERE’S A BETTER LOOK AT THE JEWELRY FROM ABOVE…
LADIES! Look how festive and darling these Christmas tree earrings are! I love that you can wear a totally normal outfit, but throw on these earrings and BAM…. you’re ready for Christmas!
Think about it. Even if you just style them with a black sweater, denim, and sneakers… you will be instantly festive!
At 50% OFF, you’re paying $14 and under for any of these earrings and they are seriously fabulous.

I’ve got more fantastic jewelry for you, and all of it is 50% OFF. We’re talking just $9-$14 for the jewelry here. Buy the pieces for yourself, and/or for gifts.

And here are some previous favorites I’ve shared that are now 50% OFF (today only).
SWEATSHIRT, EARRINGS, AND BLINGY NECKLACE 50% OFF
I LOVE a festive sweatshirt. This one is soft, has a relaxed fit, and it’s both merry and bright. 😉 The pictures make the lettering look a bit purple, but in person I would say it’s true pink on a true red. This would be a perfect look to wear to a class holiday party for your kids, shopping around town, or even a lunch with girlfriends.
Regularly $78, only $39 today.
Very Merry sweatshirt / colorful rhinestone earrings / blingy initial necklace
EARRINGS 50% OFF!
Since you can’t really see detail of the earrings on me, I wanted to be sure you could see how fun they are. The rhinestones are big and chunky, and the colors are sparkly and so pretty.
Regularly $24, only $12 today!
SWEATER 50% OFF!
If you’re wanting something a little nicer than the Very Merry sweatshirt, this Merry sweater might be just what you’re looking for. It’s a bit more elevated with the super soft and luxe sweater material and the fancy gold lettering (with some metallic thread). It also has pleating at the shoulders which create a subtle puff sleeve, and it has long and fitted cuffs.
I was excited about getting this sweater, but it’s so much better in person than I was expecting it to be. It really is luxe. I’m wearing a medium, but I again I think a small might be better. It comes in XS-XXXL.
Regularly $78, only $39 today!
If you want to dress it up, pair it with this gold metallic pleated skirt.
Merry sweater / blingy initial necklace / layered gold necklace pair / wide leg jeans / champagne flats
FLATS 50% OFF
These flats are such a pretty champagne color. The velvet makes them holiday ready and the square toe gives them extra style, but they could also just be an everyday flat as well. True to size.
Regularly $58, only $29 today only!
wide leg jeans / champagne flats
CARDI 50% OFF
The chevron stripes in pink, creamy white, and red are too cute. And then, to kick the cardi up a notch, the buttons are chunky pearls surrounded by bling. When I ordered this, I actually planned on wearing it all buttoned up for a dressier look. However, it was more fitted on me than I liked, so I decided to wear it casually with a basic white tee and sneakers. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.
Regularly $68, only $34 today only!
This would also make a great Valentine’s Day sweater.
cardigan / similar pearl hoop earrings / blingy initial necklace / jeans / sneakers
BLOUSE AND HEELS 50% OFF
Maybe you have a party coming up where you want to be dressed up and kinda fancy, but you still want to wear your favorite jeans. THIS IS YOUR TOP. First of all, the red is a perfect Christmas red. It is a GORGEOUS red. It has a textured floral print, some voluminous puff sleeves (but they’re not overpowering!), a split neck that’s kinda sexy, and a tiny pleated ruffled collar. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.
Regularly $48, only $24 today. It also comes in black.
textured floral blouse / blingy initial necklace / jeans / heels
DRESS, CLUTCH, and HEELS 50% OFF
This dress is FAB. I love the patterns, the cut, the fit, and the color.
However, there is something you need to know. This dress is itchy. I’m not sure if it’s the metallic thread or the tulle overlay, but she’s got the itch factor for sure. If you’re a gal that’s not really bothered by fabric that’s scratchy, you might love this dress so much that you’re willing to overlook it! Just be forewarned.

I hope y’all found some festive inspiration for the season. And I’m hoping y’all love Avara as much as I do, because I’m hoping for a long and happy relationship with the brand.
Remember:
- Everything in The Holiday Collection goes to 50% OFF once in your cart!
