Did everyone have a fun, festive, weekend? Oh good, I'm glad.

This outfit is from last Thursday and was my played-down attempt at this lovely ensemble. Not quite as fabulous, but very comfortable, so I'm good with it. 

I didn't go Boxing Day shopping today. Why not? Because, to tell you the truth, malls on Boxing Day scare me more than crocodiles swimming in a pool of lava. To give you some reference, lava and crocodiles are my two greatest fears. Except on Boxing Day. On December 26th, nothing terrifies me more than being elbowed in the face by a rabid mother of three while reaching for the last pink cardigan at the Gap. So, I choose to stay at home and let someone else be the victim of a cardigan war, thank you very much.

Treat of the Week: Home, Sweet, Home

First off, does my leg look abnormally long in this picture? Because I'm pretty sure it does. It's okay for you to tell me the truth - I can take it. It does? Oh, okay. Thanks for being honest.

And on that note, me and my one abnormally long leg are off to my parents house for the next little stretch - can't wait to spend the holidays with all of my siblings back in the house where we all grew up!

I hope you all have warm and cozy holiday plans filled with loved ones and cinnamon hot chocolate!

December Snapshots

1. Festive streetlights by the water downtown. I had a pleasant walk taking in the crisp winter sea air on my birthday, last week.

2. Soft lights in my living room.

3. A decorative tree, all lit up downtown.

4. Skype chats with Baby K, my niece, and my sister {someone had to work the computer.}

5. A display from the fashion department at the art institute - all these pieces are made out of food wrappers in support of the local food bank! Amazing.

6. Christmas tree under the archway at the Legislative Buildings downtown.

7. The bright lights of the Legislative Buildings.

8. Homemade Peppermint White Chocolate Marshmallows.

Flashback

{Button-up: H&M, Cardigan, Skirt, and Tights: Gap, Boots: Steve Madden}

So I realized halfway through the day that all these items {minus the boots} were actually part of my 30 for 30, but never pulled together into an outfit. How did I miss this combination?! Anyways, I'm proud that I am still able to unintentionally find new ways to remix the older items in my closet.

What did you get up to this weekend? Since you can't actually answer right now, let me tell you what I did: Nothing.

Yep, that's right. It was the first weekend in a long time that I basically had nothing to do. Other than a staff appreciation dinner on Sunday evening, I pretty much spent the weekend lazing around in leggings and sweaters, switching between reading, watching this T-Swift video, and napping. Sometimes being unproductive and lazy is just the break you need, am I right?

I've been watching this on repeat for the past few days. I love how anti-glamorous but beautiful it is.
