Cardigan: Candyland for Dolls Kill

Christmas isn't Christmas without sugary goodness.  Not only to give as gifts and gobble at galas, but to devour after battling crowds and wrapping presents that may or may not be returned.  No doubt about it, cookies and candy take the edge off.  Yet as much as I love eating treats, I love looking at them even more.  So to kick off Christmas, I donned my Candy Land cardi and built a wee wonderland from Charlotte's dessert blocks.  It made me feel not only festive but peaceful, like I could hide from all the holiday hoopla in a fortress of saccharine solitude.

To paraphrase Green Day, wake me up when December ends -- and leave Andes mints on my pillow.

I love mints in any form- my favorite ice cream growing up was peppermint stick ice cream which was at Howard Johnsons and only came out for Christmas. I love your theme especially your cheerful cardigan and. girly ruffle socks. Lots of fun bold colors!!

Ahhhh, you're wearing my favorite Christmas color palette - minty pastels!! Your outfit totally fits the Candy Land aesthetic, especially with the dessert block setup! Your accessories are adorable, and I was happy to see the PinkBopp rings making an appearance, too! I hope you find many Andes mints on your pillow. 💚🩵💗❤️
