I spent my NYE out of town, which was somewhat unplanned until the last minute. It was low key and sweet, and the scenery, as you can tell, was beautiful (and btw, those are not black and white photos).
I will be posting about my New Years Resolutions this coming week, so stayed tuned.
Happy New Year!

As mentioned, I played an Elf on Christmas Eve Eve (last day of work). Employees are encouraged to bring their kids to work on that day and seriously, when the kids saw Santa, they went nuts. Totally adorable.
Vintage (thrifted) blazer, Sirens top, H&M pants (last seen here), borrowed hat & target flats
The two main comments that day were, 'That's the tallest elf I've ever seen' and inquiries about whether or not I was in costume. I was not. All clothes were from my closet (ha).
I stopped by Value Village a couple weeks ago and had tremendous luck, this jacket being one of (three jackets) I picked up.
It's from H&M and a size 6.
It had a couple stains on it, but I noticed the tag said it was machine washable so figured it could be worth a shot. When I got to the cash, I mentioned the stains to the cashier and she gave me 30% bringing the price to a whopping $10! When I got home, I washed it (without any stain fighter) in the machine and it came out as good as new.
New jacket love all up in this piece.
Max Studio top, Sirens shorts, unknown tights, Suzy necklace & ring & Bay ring
I hope you all had an excellent Christmas, I sure did! My sister and I compromised and decided on a 9am start time for Christmas morning. I got up, showered, and proceeded to put on my comfy clothes (why did I shower? I packed an outfit to wear for unwrapping presents and ultimately decided I wanted to wear sweatpants and a hoodie. Still works).
I headed downstairs where my parents and sister were waiting to me. We went into the living room to see what Santa brought us and he was good to me, that's for sure! We then took a break, at cinnamon buns and croissants and drank coffee (which later turned into mimosas). Then we got busy unwrapping our gifts and I have to say I have been spoiled and am very, very blessed (I'm going to do a post on the gifts I was fortunate to receive).
We lazed around that afternoon, reading our magazines, trying on new clothes, playing with new gadgets, etc.
After hours in sweatpants I changed into the above outfit (and did my hair) for Christmas dinner. My grandparents came over and we stuffed ourselves. More conversation and good times after dinner (which included more baked treats, thanks to my mom) late into the night. I then proceeded to do some pre-Boxing Day online shopping late into the night and finished watching, 'What's Your Number' online (cute movie, the book is better, obviously).
I have to say it seems kind of funny posting an outfit without shoes, however, I wasn't leaving the house and we aren't wear-your-shoes-in-the-house kind of people (yuck. I'm a bit of a germaphobe so the idea of wearing shoes in the house grosses me out. Think of where you and your shoes have been... gym locker room, in your car, restaurants... public restrooms... 'nuff said), hence the no shoes. If I was going out, I'd likely wear black pumps or ankle booties.
