This is what I wore to go out to breakfast (and dinner) with the family for Great-Grandma Hammers birthday. We all dressed up for this because we took family pictures afterwards (which i’ll be posting in my next entry) It was such a fun day and I ended up really liking my outfit so I decided to take some pictures!

This is probably one of the most comfortable shirts I own. I was hesitant to get it because as much as I love batwing shirts and cardigans, I was never sure if I could pull it off. So far though, I’m loving it and I’m completely comfortable in it. I like that it’s cropped, but not cropped to the point where it’s showing anything I don’t want shown. Next I’ll be on the hunt for a neutral colored striped batwing. The dress pants I got for days like these when I still wanted to look nice, but not put on a dress. It’s the perfect in between item of clothing I own for not too casual and not too dressy days. and my favorite part: The argyle socks are actually tights I was just wearing underneath! They served it’s purpose for keeping me warm as well. The brogues I’ve had for almost three years now, and they’re still going strong.

Stay tuned for family photos!

What I wore to work:

So I just purchased these tights a few weeks ago and I have to say, they’re the boldest pair I own. I also own sparkly tights, floral, and argyle ones but these are my new favorite. I was hesitant to get them, but they were the last pair left and well, they may not be something I’m used to wearing, but I’m always up for trying new things so I went ahead and got them anyway. It can be tricky to wear them without looking too busy, which is why I kept everything else simple. I’ve also been wearing that headband non-stop. It’s one of the only headbands I have that don’t squeeze behind my ears too hard! (a pet peeve of mine)

Jimmy took me shopping the other day (late christmas present) and I got a few really cute things. I’ll be sure to include them in my next post!
