The Holiday 9 to 5

Sweater:  J.Crew (old, similar SALE option here, even more budget-friendly option here), Top:  J.Crew (old, similar here, here), Skirt:  Bebe (old, similar here), Beanie:  Zara, Shoes:  Zara (sold out, very similar here), Bag:  Target, Sunnies:  Ray-Ban

The holiday season was a little different for me this year being that I am now working in the retail industry. Rather than having a cushy vacation from the day before Christmas Eve to the day after New Year's, I worked until 3:30 on Christmas Eve and am back at work today.  Definitely a change from what I had become accustomed to, but absolutely worth it to be working in the industry that I love.

And so I did what any sane fashionista would do, I dressed as festively as possible during the holidays. Bringing some holiday cheer to the office certainly made the days fly by!

Hope everyone had a very merry!

Wine Tasting

Coat:  J.Crew (old, OBSESSED with this pink coat), Dress:  Velvet by Granam & Spencer (old, similar here, and here for $50!), Shoes:  Dolce Vita (old, similar here), Tights:  Express, Bag:  French Connection, Necklace:  H&M (old, similar here) Sunnies:  Ray-Ban

Last week my husband and I attended a wine tasting party. Being the wino that I am, I thought the idea behind the party was genius: everybody brought two wine bottles wrapped in foil - one lined up for the tasting and the other for the winner of the best bottle contest. We each selected our top three favorite wines and the person who brought the bottle with the most votes took home everyone's second bottle. What made it even better is that my husband and I were the winners!

That said - while my dress looked super holiday cute, I don't know if white lace was the best choice for a RED wine tasting party. I managed to make it through the evening without an embarrassing faux pas, however had I thought it through before hand, I probably would have gone with my favorite LBD.
