In the rain

I really don't like photos in the rain, however, it was wet photos, or no photos, so I ran out and fired these off as quickly as possible. Don't let the smile fool you!

But now I need to spend the rest of the weekend in Christmas mode - getting the wrapping and baking finished, finding a recipe for a festive punch to serve on Christmas Eve, and of course doing those last minute runs to the store!

If you are someone who was organized enough to have everything done so this weekend your chores include getting a manicure and watching a Christmas movie, I totally envy you.

For the rest of us - lets hope we can get it all done and have a merry Christmas!

  11. This year I am the most disorganized I have been in several years. I really don't know what what happened. Well actually, I do. Being displaced has put me so far behind and contributed to a disastrous amount of extra expenses. I'm finally going out later today to finish the rest of my Christmas shopping. Usually it's all nearly finished by December... eek!

    Anyway, I'm very fond of this outfit. There's something about all the little details that makes is so luxe!

  12. I went from being in the most wonderful Christmas mood, checking things off my to-do list, to an absolute Grinch this afternoon. Shoveling out after the blizzard will do that to a person. Haha.

  17. So dedicated you are, travelling out in the rain like that! I'm glad you managed to get some pictures. :) I'm liking that cardigan of yours yet again~ it looks so cozy for a dreary winter day.

    I'm sure you'll get it all done. You know, you could always watch a Christmas movie while you're baking and wrapping gifts. ;) It'd be kinda relaxing. Kinda.

  21. I have to admit - I'm one of those people who has been all ready for Christmas for like a week :)

    I hate taking photos in the rain, too, but since I live in Oregon, about every other set of outfit photos this time of year happens in the rain!
