my outfit: black and blue!

Right off the bat, Jackie's post on 100 Inspirations inspired the color palate for this outfit... I always forget how much I like blue with black. I don't know if you can tell from the pictures, but the scarf has a lot of navy in it as well (and my top is navy). It's usually a scarf I wear in the summer, but with this dark color palate I knew I needed something bold and bright!


This is about the most I've been "dressed" in a while, it's just SO cold. I just wear tons of sweaters and Uggs from morning until night (even in the house). But I didn't have any where to be on this morning so I had fun "dressing up" and feeling like a person again - instead of a snow man! I'm *trying* to get into an every-other-day-hair-wash schedule. Everyone that talks about it loves it... and my hair is tricky (especially the bangs) on the second day. But the dry air that winter provides helps. Thus the "do" today!

Any excuse I get lately I seem to go running for this jacket... I love it so! And yes, those nails are green. Definitely a more "jingle bell rock" for the holidays than "the first noel"... I may switch up to slightly more reverent for the holidays. If that exists for nail polish. Maybe I'm over thinking it.


In my house the cookies are baked, the presents bought (although I need to wrap!) and the gingerbread house is made... now I am twiddling my thumbs for the rest of the week. Right!?!? (If you've got kiddos at home like me, head over to good tots today for fun, easy and cheap ideas for keeping them busy this week!)

Are you ready for Christmas!?!?
