So here it is, December 10, and I managed to get some decorations up and even decorate myself. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Having a baby makes you use your time wisely. Well, that and no more sleeping in. But enough of my mama drama. I'm here to talk about this trio of maroon Christmas ensembles. Every year, I challenge myself to come up with new festive fits. I start with the traditional red and green, then see what I can do with other colors, accessories, and silhouettes to style fun looks. For these three, I went with hints of Victorian vampire, '50s housewife, and '80s animal print. In other words, the usual.
On an unrelated note, last February the husband and I finally tossed our tree. I still remember that Black Friday sixteen years ago when we bought it at Home Depot. It was the only one left, a not-very-tall floor sample with a crooked top, but buying it made me feel so grown-up. This year I ordered a bigger one (also on sale) from Michaels. I thought that it had only colored lights, but when it arrived I was delighted to discover that it boasts half a dozen settings, including white, blinking white, colors, blinking colors, white and colors, and alternating blinking white and colors. Needless to say, all those bells (lights?) and whistles made me feel even more grown-up. And at the same time, also more childlike.
The older I get, the younger I feel. Which, Christmas or not, isn't such a bad deal. 😏🎄💖

"Victorian vampire, '50s housewife, and '80s animal print..." YES!! You rock these Christmas-y looks so well, and I'm amazed at all the festive fits you created using different colors. Your accessories and decorations (so happy to see my ring creation in the mix!) are a joy to look at; I especially adore the Joy Soldier Necklace paired with the pinecone/holly barrettes, and the big red bow with the maroon top! Finally, your new Christmas tree looks amazing, and "the older I get, the younger I feel" is definitely something I can relate to! 🎅🏻💖🎄
