Spent a love-i-lee couple of days in Waco, Texas with the parentals, grandparentals, cousins and the like. Evs said it was one of the finest Christmases ever. I tend to agree.
Ensemble for Christmas Eve services and my grandparents' annual cocktail get-together:
I think this is the first velvet dress I've owned since I was 4 or 5... I love it - its simple and classic but a bit sassy! The wedding of my very oldest friend is coming up in January and I think this will be just the ticket with some funkier tights!

I like! How's about that Texas-style blizzard? Hahah... I think it's all because you posted about the unseasonable warmness. Damnit. :)

Cute cute. I got a $350 J Crew gift card from my mother-in-law... any advice on how to spend it? I get so overwhelmed when I have a gift card. It's a strange neurosis.
ReplyDeleteAlso, when wearing leggings as pants, what is your take on the length of the top? Must the top only cover the cheeks? Come to mid-thigh? We need some guidelines!
I tried leggings as pants for about 5 minutes in my closet today. I just CANNOT DO IT.
ReplyDeleteAnd I keep having to talk myself out of $350 revas. I BLAME YOU!
Great outfits. I love the red Anthro necklace! I have a hard time with leggings as pants, although you do pull it off quite well!

ReplyDeleteVery chic holiday outfits! Per usual, you are looking great!
ReplyDeleteVery cute. We have, like, a ton of the same clothes, but you style them much better than me.
