Chambray and Leopard: Fall Edition

jacket: cato, blouse: cato, jeans: walmart, loafers: shoe show

Happy Thursday, friends! I can't believe it is only a few days till Christmas. This month has just flown by; I don't know where it went! I am done with my shopping and have been for a while, but I am making several gifts and need to get a move on to finish them and get them under the tree. I also need to wrap all the kiddo's gifts. ;)

This is a fun outfit I wore last Sunday night to sing in our service. I continue to love these red jeans and of course you know me, the chambray and leopard had to be paired with them at some point. And I love the warm tan of the jacket with the red and blue. Oddly enough this is one of a very few pant outfits I've worn this month. I'm not sure why, but I have really been feeling the dresses and skirts lately. And having fun with my tights. ;)

Well, I'm off to the grocery store and to finish all my Christmas prep. Hope y'all are having a wonderful week.

An Outfit to See Santa

cardi: cato (old), chambray: thrifted, dress: target (old), leggings & boots: walmart (old)

mini bubble necklace

Happy Friday, friends! To all of you who have started following in the last couple of weeks, welcome! I am so glad to have you along for the ride. ;)

This is what I wore to take the kiddo to the Enchanted Forest in Memphis where he got to see Santa. It was freezing cold that day so layers were necessary. I had originally planned to wear just the dress and cardi, but I ended up wanting and extra layer. This is one of those outfits that I am not crazy about how it looks in the pictures. I think my longer chambray blouse would have worked better. But, you live and learn. ;) What do you think?

Hope you have a wonderful weekend! We are making Christmas treats - cookies, holly wreaths, apple butter and all kinds of yumminess. ;)

More Burgundy & Grey

Hello all! Still feeling under the weather so I'll keep it brief. I wore this to church yesterday. Big surprise there right? ;) Anyway, comfy and easy. Add a blazer and boots to pretty much any dress and you have a fall/winter outfit. My lace tights added just that little bit of extra interest.

In other news, my tree is about half decorated and obviously skirtless. Hopefully we will get that finished this week. Provided I can begin feeling human again. Soon. Hopefully.

Hope y'all have a lovely week!

Lace, Poundage and Christmas Prep

Whew! I think I gained ten pounds last week. Holy cow, did we eat a lot of really yummy food. ;) I am immensely grateful for stretchy clothes right now because I have indeed gained a few pounds. Yikes. And while I would usually just start my diet, the truth is there is an entire month of treats and yumminess ahead. And I can't just abstain because the kiddo is having a ball cooking right now. So. I think I am going to start my Jillian Michaels 30 day shred today just to see if I can keep on top of the caloric consumption. I am not looking forward to it. I will be very sore tomorrow. Very sore.

In other news, I totally stole this outfit from Molly. Of course, since I wore it for church I didn't feel my leather jacket was entirely appropriate. (Our congregation is primarily older retired folks.) So I substituted my black blazer and felt quite fab today. ;) So, thank you, Molly for the outfit inspiration.

Hope y'all have a wonderful week. I will be prepping for Christmas this week. I am making an advent calendar to start on Saturday with the kiddo and of course finishing up decorating the house and maybe watching a holiday movie or two. ;) My little dude is old enough to really enjoy all the festivities this year and I am so looking forward to enjoying Christmas with him.
