I'm not so ambitious to head out and fight crowds for sales, I know there will be plenty of good deals before the Christmas season is through.
I did stop into one shop today, a small local business called Taken for Granite, that always decorates for the holidays in the most spectacular way. I probably could have spent an hour just photographing everything there which caught my eye!
Yesterday I got dressed in my typical over the top holiday fashion (if not on a holiday, then when?!) And wore my cute black and gold striped dress I got this summer.
The Rundown
Dress Free People - Top H&M - Shoes Jeffrey Campbell Splendid - Jewelry The Cavernous Jewelry Box
Since all I wanted was to be warm and cozy today, I did my best to keep things casual and not spend any time creating an outfit as I normally do.
Took a few photos at Taken for Granite, the outside decorations are just as pretty as inside!

Not over the top at all! The black and gold was perfect for Thanksgiving, I reckon.

This is a great outfit! It is not over the top.
ReplyDeleteGreat outfit!
ReplyDeleteThe shop looks lovely, I could spend some money in there.
Lyddie!! CUTE Holiday dress/outfit. I'm with you - I dress up, no elastic waists and such. There are so few days to really do it up. I went for it fur and all. It was so fun - until the Chef's uncle had a little too much jager and strolled out in his wife's silver fox fur coat from 10 yrs ago. Woops!! I never laughed so hard!! The wife on the other hand...not so much. HA!
