Here's another one of my Christmas gifts, a nice big red sweater. I was definitely in need of more color in my closet and this red fits the bill! I wore this on New Years Eve to go out for Indian food with my brother, his girlfriend and my boyfriend. Then we spent the rest of the day/evening lounging.

This past Sunday I attended another fun CT Blogger Babes event with Lydia. This time it was a sip & shop at Pearls & Plaid in Old Saybrook, CT. You may recall I wore a sweater from Pearls & Plaid on the blog last week. I was excited to see what new offerings they have for Fall/Winter. There were SO MANY super soft cozy sweaters, I wanted to take them all home! I almost bought one and then decided to behave since I'm trying not to add anything new to my closet until next year. It's always so much fun shopping with other bloggers and chatting about what's trending and anything else under the sun.

And some photos from the event:

And so continues the week of blazers! This one is one of my favorites and an amazing deal. I bought it back in 2013 at my favorite consignment store, Roundabout! It was in the clearance section "as is" for $400...yes, please! (They usually sell Chanel blazers for at least $800.) I actually left it the first time I saw it and had to go back. Even though it was still expensive it was too good a deal to pass up, especially since it was purple-ish. I googled it the day I bought it and found it was from the Autumn 1998 collection, so it's almost 20 years old and still going strong!

 Who doesn't love a fun statement coat. This vintage suede jacket is just that! The fun western detailing makes it such a unique piece. I'm always a little bit sad when we have a huge snowstorm because it means I can't wear any of my regular shoes and need to resort to rain and snow boots. But then I remembered these boots have soles that I won't slip in while walking on ice and slush!

Here's the first of my two Thanksgiving outfits! I love that my family separates into two days so we get two turkeys and I can wear two outfits! Day one was at Grandma's with Mom's side of the family. Day two, Saturday, was at my Aunt's with Dad's side. So much better than trying to go to two places in one day.

Who says you need to have a boyfriend to wear a men's sweater? Not me! I got this sweater in the men's section at Marshalls a few years ago and it remains one of my most comfortable sweaters EVER. What is it about men's products that makes them so much softer?

This getting dark early business is not going to make outfit pictures easy. Fortunately for me, last week 2 of my friends visited during the day so I had them take photos for me so I wouldn't have to drag out my tripod. On this day I went out to lunch with my friend Jenna. It was pretty warm so I didn't need both sweaters, but the look was a little boring with just one. But two is better than one, right?

Even though it has been very cold (and snowy) this year I haven't been getting much use out of my coats. I usually just suffer in the cold from my car to wherever my destination is, much easier than having to worry about carrying a coat around.

My friend Jenna took these pictures for me before we went out to lunch. I remember the days when NO ONE was allowed to watch me take my pictures (with my tripod) let alone take them. But this year I've been embracing the fact that I can get photos done quicker if someone takes them. My dad is my main photographer if I go home for dinner, otherwise it's still my tripod.
