flashback: fall favorites

is anyone else trying to figure

out where 2017 went? how is it already

december? the holidays are upon us, and i feel

like we just celebrated the fourth of july!

i am ready to embrace december (and celebrate

the end of a great year) with all things festive:

a trip to westlake center, visiting snowflake lane,

sipping a peppermint mocha, decorating

my apartment, listening to christmas music, etc. etc. 

and with the holidays fast approaching,

i realized i am a bit behind with posts on this 

little blog #thestruggleisreal

i also have yet to begin christmas shopping,

but we will save that for a later post.

i wore this outfit a few months back,

before it was too chilly to wear a skirt sans tights.

however, i think tights and a cozy cream

jacket could easily be added to make this

look more 'weather-appropriate.'

my denim skirt was a spontaneous purchase

earlier this fall, and i have already worn

it countless times! it is a classic piece, 

and the medium wash seemingly matches

all of my blouses and sweaters.

are you ready for the holidays?

we decorated our tree last weekend, and

my company's christmas party is next weekend.

i cannot wait to celebrate. i am also

looking forward to visiting family, 

driving around the city to see christmas lights,

and of course, enjoying far too many delicious

christmas goodies!

^^^ these leopard-print booties are comfortable

and fun to style! ^^^
