Note: Next month will be all about the 'Christmas' plaids - tartan, black watch, lots of red (while festive, these are not my favorite to wear as they're just too specific to the holiday time)

Pearls & Plaid
It's Christmas Week!!! Vivian is out of school and I'm enjoying spending these days together just us two preparing for the festivities. I'm done shopping but have so, so much wrapping to do.
For me, dressing for Christmas activities is fun. I like to stay traditional and timeless with my holiday style.
Pearls and plaid are two timeless classics that I believe pair beautifully. While a single strand of pearls are the most formal you can embrace a more modern look with pearl jewelry that incorporates chains and various colors.
When it comes to plaid prints, they can often masculine but in pinks and bright colors it can take on a cheerful look.
Amidst all the hustle and bustle of the holiday I encourage you to take a bit of time to look as joyful as the season feels!
Dress Beautifully in Pearls & Plaid

TGI-Christmas time! The Christmas magic is here and sprinkled throughout our home. We've decorated nearly every room with lights, greenery and lots of red velvet. It is true, seeing Christmas through the eyes of a child is pure joy!

Friday Favorites: 20 Skirts
I feel like skirts have much bigger share on the fashion scene this year. And in longer lengths.
My favorite thing about skirts right now is that you can pair them with tees and sneakers, maybe even add a denim jacket for casual occasions.
Or, a chunky sweater and booties for a casual/dressy occasion.
Or a pretty blouse and heels for an all the way dressy occasion.
Here are some of my favorite skirts ... 20 to be exact!

In-Between
Gals, it's officially Fall AND it's starting to actually feel like it! Ok it's still warm but I'm not in danger of heat stroke when I go for a run. While we are all itching for sweater weather I don't foresee it happening for another several weeks, at least for us here in the South. But I'm ready for a change in my wardrobe. So, here we are, a way to transition from Summer to Fall for the in between weather.
The top says warmer weather, (well actually all year because you can layer over) the plaid pants say cooler temps and the booties say it all in a Summer shade but Fall/Winter design.
So here you have it, a look that bridges the seasonal gap.
This top I've had for several years, it's a favorite I wear all year long. And it's subtle stripes make its perfect pairing even with this plaid - think of it as lines on top of lines. Also, the blue in the top brings out the bits of blue in the plaid.
These pants in the paper bag waist, wide leg design are all the rage and I'm cool with it because they're super comfortable and make your waist look super small.
Now, the booties. I'm normally a rule follower but as y'all know I'm obsessed with white so to limit my wear of the bright clean neutral to the days between Memorial Day & Labor Day feels like a punishment. So as I'm writing this I'm wearing white jeans and thinking of when I can strut these new booties out. They are the softest leather and the white actually has a hint of cream to it so perfectly acceptable. Shoot I'll just call them winter white and all is good.
The kitten heel is just right for a dressier shoe without all the discomfort.
Now if you wanted to make this look more casual - swap the button front with a comfy t-shirt or sweater. And swap the booties for a ballet flat.
Work with what you have gals!
