Merry and Bright

Shirt: Gap (similar), Skirt: DIY, Heels: Target, Necklaces: Stella & Dot, Vintage, Bracelet: Forever21, Sheer dotted tights: J.Crew(similar), Lips: Poppy King for J.Crew
I'm here to brighten your Monday with the most festive, Christmas-y outfit I could come up with. The old-timey, vintage neighborhood I live in is decked out to the nines with holiday decor, we have a Christmas party and baking day planned for this week, I've had my White Christmas DVD basically on an endless loop throughout December, we've been downing cup after cup of homemade hot chocolate, and there is more shopping to be done. (First time Auntie here, baby's first Christmas, you get the idea.) It all has me feeling pretty festive. So throwing practicality to the wind, I'm back in my tutu. This thing just makes me happy. If only I had waited another day or two to take the photos, there would be piles of snow around me to add to this Holiday tableau. 

I wish you holiday cheer, whatever it is you're celebrating!
