Happy Star Wars: Episode VII, The Force Awakens release day! I'm a horrible fan and I didn't go to a midnight showing, nor am I going today. But I have two excuses. 1. I hate crowds, so opening weekend is bad enough and 2. I'm going with my Dad, sister and brothers since we saw episodes 1, 2 and 3 together in theaters. So we have to find a day that worked for everyone. We are going tomorrow morning at 11:20am!

But, in celebration, here's a Star Wars themed outfit! Empire Strikes Back is probably my favorite of the movies, so this shirt I got from my Kohl's Star Wars Photoshoot is perfect for me. I can never fully decide, it's like choosing between children. I'll be wearing my R2D2 sweatshirt when we go see the movie.

Here's a REALLY old one for ya! I found these pants again in my parent's attic and since I still had the sweater too it seemed like a no brainer. While the style of these pants is definitely dated, the color is super on trend.  These pants are from high school, so we're talking 2003 - 2005, I can't remember when I first got them.

The original:

It's reindeer sweater season!! I've worn this at least 3 times this month, so glad I bought it last year! For this particular outfit I decided to go monochromatic and wore it with all gray. To offset the fact that it's not very "holiday" I was brave and did a red lip! It is very rare for me to wear red lipstick but sometimes you have to, right?

Sometimes you just need a little bit of a metallic overload on a boring day. And this outfit is full of metallics - my cute mouse flats, new bag and the shimmer in my sweater. And just like that a simple jeans and sweater outfit is a bit more fun!

I wore this outfit to go see Charles Dickens' great-great grandson perform A Christmas Carol with my sister and her boyfriend.  Gerald did an amazing rendition of the story in just under two hours. I actually laughed out loud a few times, which is rare for me in public settings. I normally try to keep my emotions in check at movies/shows. We also had the chance to meet him earlier in the day at The Historical Christmas Barn in Wilton, CT and he signed illustrated copies of the book.  If you are in the area any time of year definitely check them out, such a great selection of ornaments and decorations.

I have never actually read A Christmas Carol (until this year, reading it now!) but Scrooge with Albert Finney is one of my favorite Christmas movies. In fact, my whole family always sits down to watch it on Christmas Eve Eve (since we have family over on Christmas Eve). One of my favorite traditions! If you haven't seen that movie yet, watch it RIGHT NOW.

Also, I promise I'll stop showing this bag in my outfit pictures! Like I said earlier, it rarely leaves my arm these days!
