I hope everyone had a great Christmas weekend spent with family! (Or a regular weekend for those who don't celebrate)  Only two outfit posts left for 2016, guys! Both are my Christmas outfits and then I'll be leaving you until 2017. I'm headed to London tomorrow night to spend New Years with the Brits.

I really need to get rid of this sweater but I can't bring myself to do it! The unique shape (half turtleneck, 3/4 sleeve and a little loose in the under-arm area) just makes it so fun. It's just REALLY itchy so I regret having it on after a couple hours...maybe I'll let it go after this Winter. I don't have the cute owl necklace anymore (it broke) so I substituted in R2D2! You can always use a little geek chic in your looks, right?

I almost feel bad for being excited for the New York trip I'm currently on. Every now and then I get waves of sadness remembering what happened early Wednesday morning.  I'm still reeling from the results of the election but am trying to make sense of it all. America as we know it will be different as of January 20th. It's changing already. Many of my friends fear for their safety because of the color of their skin, religious beliefs or who they love. It makes me incredibly sad and I can't really put it into words. So all I'll say for now is, we need to fight harder than ever for our rights and stay strong.

The Original:

For my second Thanksgiving outfit I went a little dressier but in the same color palette as our first get together. It wasn't specifically planned that way, but it worked out nicely. I was saving this skirt from my Kohl's Star Wars photoshoot for Thanksgiving because of the rich color, perfect for the occasion! It would also be good for Christmas too so maybe you'll see it again in another few weeks!

I wore two outfits for my Christmas celebrations last week. I only took dedicated pictures of one because I forgot the second day! We just had so much going on - oopsie! But there are a couple pictures from the 25th that my Mom took during the day.

In contrast to yesterday's post, where I didn't want to wear all black, here's a black outfit! As you can see, my mood changes on the day. This is an outfit I find myself wearing over and over again because it's so easy. Some people don't like repeating outfits, I say why not?! If you like it, wear it again. Most people won't notice, and if they do, who cares?

I just love how the sweater barely comes above the hem of my skirt, the play in proportion makes me feel a lot taller than my 5'2" height. The sweater isn't supposed to be this long, but I bought a size large because it was all they had and I liked it. As long as I don't button it, you'd never know that it's the wrong size. I believe it was only $20 and I've had it for at least 4 years.

And how cute are these bow earrings from Lauren Conrad's collection at Kohl's?

It's that time of year again: tights season! These tights Wolford sent arrived just in time for the cold weather we experienced last weekend. I have a love/hate relationship with tights. I love how they make my legs look, but hate when they aren't "just right."

What I look for in a pair of tights: 1. Comfort; if they are too tight I get a stomach-ache, NOT fun. 2. Durability; rips and tears on their first wear is the worst. and 3. Opacity; I personally don't like a super sheer tight.

I received the Merino Tights and they're super soft. So far they pass the comfort and opacity tests! I can't vouch for their durability just yet, but so far so good! They have a reinforced toe, sole and heel so I have high hopes. I will definitely be wearing these a lot through the holiday season.

At $69 they are a bit of a splurge, BUT I have to say I can really see the upgrade in quality from my other tights.  I would definitely recommend Wolford if you're looking for a really high quality tight that's sure to last for years to come. They even have cashmere tights, yes, you read that right: CASHMERE. Pure luxury for your legs! They also carry bodysuits, dresses and so much more, be sure to check out their entire selection.

Also, if you own a pair of Wolford tights, be sure to enter their #UpdateYourLegs Facebook contest. And don't forget to keep up with them on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest!
