WHEW, please excuse my absence this week, everyone, I have been logging in lots of hours at the boutique as well as working at school, had our choir concert at church this past Sunday, and finished up Christmas shopping. And did I mention that the weather has not been too cooperative? Rain, cold, ick, and gloom, however, it is supposed to warm up into the high 50s to low 60s by the end of the week (what??). Might as well start loading up on the Ibuprofen #headacheweather.
Today, I am so honored and excited to be one of the blog features on Wednesday Style Connection put on by Afternoon Style and All Things Unpredictable and Chic! These ladies are fabulous fashionistas, and I’m so happy they picked me (be sure to head on over to link up your style!).
I would just like to say that I am in love with plaid. Oh wait, you already know this. Ok, well then, I’d like to say that I’m in love with bows. 😀 Still nothing new? Gold glitter? Colored tights? Shorts with tights??? Ok, ok, is there anything about this outfit that you did not see coming? OO OO, I bet you never thought I’d take a Christmas bow made for wrapping presents and hot glue it to a headband and stick it in my hair :D. HA, I’ve found something that you all didn’t expect! *ensue facepalms*.
But seriously, what started out as just the finishing touch to my outfit for the last day of school for the semester quickly turned into a hair accessory I really liked. As in, I’m crossing my fingers that no one will think I’ve jumped off my rocker when they see me walking down the street because I am totally hooked on wearing a Christmas bow as a hair-bow (and maybe next time I’ll glittermatize the headband…).
If you’re wanting to wear shorts with tights but are still watching from the sidelines, start out with plain, dark-colored shorts and tights. Black tights are the perfect color, and really, there is nothing more classy than a pair of tailored black shorts with tights! Add a button down and cardi or blazer and sweater with the shorts, finish off with flats, ankle booties, or these adorable black heels, and you’ve got an outfit perfect for the holidays!
What do you think about wearing a Christmas bow headband?
This looks like a neighborhood in camp hill!
love the plaid and the jewelry!
