Merry Christmas/ Happy Holidays!!!

I love Christmas!!! (and if you don't celebrate Christmas, I hope you are having a wonderful wintery holiday season). I am about to leave to head to a family dinner, but I thought I'd show you what I was wearing today.

1) Excuse the mess on the floor.

2) I am extremely proud that I curled my hair (it happens maybe 2-3 times a year), and did a full face of makeup. 

3) I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!

Sparse

Hey Em! Sorry my lack of posting, we just moved our booties down to our basement apartment and it has been crazy. We're listing the house for rent today. I don't have my mirror hung up quite yet so here's a picture David took of me last month on our way to a family dinner I think.

Since then I've gotten a hair cut and some highlights so I'll have to take a picture of that soon.

What Jacket Dilemma??

Dearest La,

Sorry you have a jean jacket dilemma. I on the other hand, do not.

Sincerely,

Em

It makes me laugh that Laura and I have very similar buying habits. Jean jacket from Old Navy? Yep, I have one too. 

Not going to lie, I am amazed I pulled this look off at 5:30am on a Monday morning. Normally I just pull on some jeans and a cute top, because, who likes Mondays?

Dress: TJ Maxx

Jacket: Old Navy

Flats: Target

Belt: Target

Yellow

Honestly, I'm not a huge fan of yellow. It's too bright or something. However, I do have a yellow sweater and a yellow belt that need to be put to use occasionally. So I tried to cut the bright with some neutral black and white.

I also mixed stripes and polka dots- baby steps right? haha, if you have to think about your outfit does that disqualify you from being considered stylish automatically?

Older Men

Today is my fiancé, Justin's, birthday. He is about two years older than me, and I always joke with him that I date such an old man..... I don't necessarily know how much he likes that joke but oh well. I actually took the entire day off to go shopping with my mom and sister, it was a much needed "personal day." We went to the outlets and I got a new watch, which I am in love with. I loved my fossil watch dearly, but it was time for a new one.

I'm meeting Justin at his school and surprising him with donuts and a balloon. Then we are off to dinner. Yay for birthdays :)

Feelin' 22

I love October for multiple reasons. It kicks off with conference (a semi-annual worldwide meeting for members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) which always motivates me, makes me feel more peaceful and puts my life in perspective. Then it's my birthday and then Halloween, which kicks of holiday festivities for the next few months! 

My family had a birthday dinner for me and I got this cute shirt from my aunt and an opal necklace and matching earrings from my mom :) Love my birthstone!
