Admittedly there is nothing Christmasy about look #2, but I was running out of stuff to wear. I am now officially woo hoo hoo on break. We are supposed to take a road trip and fingers are crossed that the weather doesn't mess up our plans!

First Day of Christmas

Anthro- Button Seeds Top
Brass Plum Cardi
Kut From the Kloth pants
Roberta Chiarella Necklace

This obviously does not qualify for the best picture ever award- camera out of batteries, not so used to the self timing function on my phone. So this week I am dressing Christmas themed just because my goal is for the children to think I'm crazy. I'll be amping up the obnoxiousness of it each day. This was pretty tame, a Christmasy color scheme but that is about it. Stay tuned.

So Tuesday I had open toes and today I'm home with a snow day. Considering winter doesn't even hit for another two weeks, I'm not sure how this bodes for January and February.

The shirt in the top pic was one of the few successes from Black Friday. I ordered a ton and I'm going to have to return a lot of it. I'm pretty bummed because I was excited about some pieces. I'm also kicking myself for not visiting in-store so that I could have been assured of things I liked. Oh well. We'll be in Texas for Christmas and their malls blow ours away, so here's to after-Christmas sales!

Swingy Chambray Tunic

So a kid asked me on Monday, "Why do you have a cat on your shirt?" My response was "Why DON'T you have a cat on your shirt?" and now I think he has a goal. I'm glad I'm inspiring the youth of America.

The second outfit was for a movie date to see "Catching Fire" in the fancy theater with reclining heated seats. I was thinking comfort comfort comfort. This fit the bill.

Black Friday shopping was okay, but I just don't think anything is ever going to top 2011's 50% off sale promo. I ordered from Anthro, Gap, and Nordstrom and now the waiting game begins.

I actually got dressed more than twice this week. We got a blast of winter weather at the end of the week and let's just say nothing I layered on was worth taking a picture of. There is even a chance we may get snow this weekend and it isn't even winter yet. Here's to hoping!

Well, we were supposed to have some more rainy days this week at least. It is supposed to be back up in the 70s this weekend. Not that I am complaining, because then my poor dog won't be cooped up.
Only a couple more weeks until Black Friday. I'm seeing rumors that Anthropologie might repeat their amazing 50% off sale from two years ago so here's to hoping.

The temps continue to bounce around a bit. I'm pulling out some classic pieces this week. My last few orders from Anthro have resulted in a lot of returns and not much else. I also need to rebuild wealth a little bit after the last expensive month or so. Next week we are supposed to have a major dip in temps, so stay tuned for layers.
