So yes, I am dreaming of a White Christmas, and I always am. It's now, when the snow would be fresh and novel and fun that I would like it. However by the time March rolls around and we've had storm after storm and there are piles of slush and ice everywhere, I'll start to wonder what I though was so darn majestic about it in the first place.
But, for now, lets just focus on the positives; those unique flakes, that clean white blanket, the potential for work to get canceled (I can hope). Yes, I love snow.

This purple top hasn't seen much blog action in the years I've had it. I can't say why. It's a perfectly nice top. I like the color and the bit of detail on the neckline.
This outfit is also an example of getting stuck on a color, hence the purple cardigan and purple shoes. These little berry wedges also haven't seen as much wear as they should. So I'm glad this No Repeats Challenge is getting me to bring out more of my closet.
Can you believe there are only three days until Christmas? I still have cookies to bake, and a few presents to wrap (they were ordered on line and just arrived today).

Last night I won a Twitch Vintage auction for the first time; this little striped dress became mine for $10 and is on it's way. Now just several long months before I can actually wear it...
I love the rich purples you are wearing here! happy holidays :)

I'm going to echo the other ladies and say you look great in purple! I really like the skirt you have on!
ReplyDeleteMan, you look GREAT in purple! I have a hard time pulling it off (or more likely, I'm just psyching myself out due to a strange color phobia). Love!

You do monochromatic better than anyone else I've seen, I think. Gorgeous look!

ReplyDeleteI love the neckline on that top! It is very pretty. I love small details like that.
PURPLE!!! hahaha I love this outfit :D
ReplyDeleteAnd yayyy for snow! Too bad we won't be having a white Christmas in CT though...unless the weathermen are wrong (which they are most of the time).
Congrats on finally winning an auction too! :D

AH I LOVE SNOW. Thats the perk of Canada/Ontario. ALWAYS SNOW. Except for one year. There was no snow. It was SO WEIRD.
ReplyDeleteAnd you look INCREDIBLE. I really have to try this monocromatic trend because youre certainly workin' it. I love purple!

You look gorgeous in purple and that skirt is just utterly lovely!
ReplyDeleteI feel a little bit like a Grinch, but I'm already kind of sick of snow since we've had massive amounts of it where I live for about six weeks now already....
In photos, snow looks so magical. In reality, I'm not amused. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a very happy holiday! I'm so glad we "met" this year! Happy 2011!
