Book Style: A Christmas Carol

Merry Christmas! In today's Book Style I went with the ultimate Christmas tale: A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. On top we have a cozy, grownup outfit based of off this gorgeous version illustrated by P. J. Lynch. As much as I love bright colors, this neutral palette is just as cozy as the alternative featured below with two fun and bright kids outfits based off of the BabyLit color primer version of A Christmas Carol by Jennifer Adams.
