Sunday Best: Welcoming Winter

sweater: AdornIt, jeans: Kohl's, boots: Kohl's, necklace: Maurice's, leather cuff: Millie Made

Earlier in the week when I sported this sweater, I was uncomfortably warm. It shouldn't be uncomfortably warm to wear a sweater in December but that's been the case as of late. All last week, I went on my jogs with Munch (our pooch) outside in shorts and a t-shirt. Winter, say what?? 

I can't complain. I've loved spending the extra time outdoors basking in this odd December sunlight. However, I'm ready for some snow. And this weekend, some snowflakes finally started twirling from the sky. Perhaps we will have a white Christmas after all!  

XOXO - Have a super fab week! 

P.S. If you need any last minute stocking stuffers, check out my mom's Millie Made shop. She creates amazing leather cuffs and other jewelry. The one I'm wearing in these photos says, "BE BRAVE", a constant reminder for me to break out of my comfort zone and take some risks. I'm so grateful for that message I can wear on my arm.

Truth Tuesday

• We are getting all ready for Christmas here at the Weller residence. The pets are getting in on the Christmas cheer as well. 

• I want it to dump snow so very badly. I want it to come up to my waist! I want to karate chop icicles! I want to wear snow pants and boots, dang it! Where are you, winter? 

• Today I saw a quote that said, "Life is too short to wear boring clothes." I couldn't agree more. 

• Brian had never seen "Jingle All the Way". We changed that. It's seriously so cheesy but I love it. Gimme all the cheese! 

• I still have never in my life experienced "baby hunger" (which is such a weird term because like, do we want to eat babies?). But I get "kid hunger" ALLLLLLL the time. Especially during the holidays. Perhaps one day I'll change my mind, but babies don't sound like a lot of fun to me. However, I love kids. They're hilarious and everything is magical for them. I want to have a little sidekick to experience magic everyday with.  

• Gwen Stefani is 45. Can I be her when I'm 45? 

• A coworker asked me today if I'd like a fresh-cut Christmas tree. I told him I better pass since I currently have three fake trees in my house. I'm the female version of Buddy the Elf.

• I lose track of time always. Actually, let me rephrase that. I don't think I even have a sense of time. I constantly have to remind myself that time exists.

• In less than one month, I turn 24. It seems like a big deal to me. For some reason when I was younger, I always pictured that I'd have my act together at 24. I used to say that I might start having kids at 24 too because that seemed pretty old to me (ha!). No kids in the picture and I'm not sure if I have my act together, but I'm sure looking forward to what 24 has in store!  

• I've avoided going grocery shopping like the plague, but it needs to happen. I literally have eggs, cutie oranges and two cans of Vanilla Coke in my fridge. That's it. And I'm tending four kids on Thursday and need to feed them dinner. Looks like I better go to the store tomorrow . . . unless I think I can get away with feeding the kids eggs and oranges for dinner.  

Sunday Best: Better Shape Up

dress: DownEast, sweater: Buckle, tights: vintage, boots: Old Navy, hat: Bella Me, necklace: Old Navy

You know you better shape up, because tomorrow is the first day of December. That means Santa Claus is coming to town. You don't want to be on the naughty list, do you?

In all reality, I chose my title because I've been on this kick of adding basic geometric shapes to my outfits (although, I'm stoked out of my mind for Saint Nick). So I was super excited when I snagged this necklace along with triangle earrings at the Old Navy Black Friday Sale. That's about all the shopping I could handle on Black Friday . . . and that was at 6 pm. Yep, not much of a Black Friday shopper here because: 

A) I hate big crowds of people crammed in small areas. 

B) I'm basically useless after midnight. A girl needs her beauty sleep. 

C) I shop deals all year long. Why go on the day that everyone else does?

Well, it's time to go decorate our Christmas tree and deck our halls. It's tradition the Sunday after Thanksgiving . . . at least around these parts. I know some of you have had your tree up since Halloween ;). I won't judge you. I'll probably leave mine up past Valentine's Day. I constantly live in denial.
