I can’t believe Christmas is just days away and 2017 will be over in about a week! Where did this year go?

Today’s outfit is a mix and match jumble of some of my current favorites for a more casua,l but still festive, look. I was thinking something like this would be really easy to re-create with items from your own closet. A cute top, comfy cardigan and high-waisted jeans are my go-to’s when I want to look put together without much effort.

Happy Monday and one week Christmas countdown! I’m still doing some shopping but hoping to be finished with everything this week so I’m not scrambling and fighting crowds over the weekend. Tis the season. I wanted to share this fun bell sleeve shift dress that I think would be perfect for the holidays, or even an event into the new year.

Whew! What a week. I spent the majority of the last week fighting a cold which doesn’t sound too terrible, then add it a baby… #momlife. But let’s talk about something a little more fun, dressing for winter. I live in Orange County so we don’t have a true winter, but it occasionally gets cold enough here to wear OTK boots and layers.

The past few months I’ve been all about these jeans. I have them in the lighter wash too and swear they’re my most flattering jeans. They’re high-waisted and really slimming… especially when you go with the little front tuck – hello waist line. Plus they’re under $100!

Happy Friday! It’s been a busy week but I wanted to get a post up before the weekend. We had a major heat wave on Thanksgiving, but a few days later it cooled down a lot so we made a trip to the Christmas Tree Farm. Which is actually a parking lot at a local community college – shhhh.
