Bulldog

As an animal lover, I was so excited to see the results of Erstwilder's #BroochMyPet competition in their newest Fan Pets range of designs. When I received the Taciturn Taco brooch, I knew I had to pair this cutie with a matching pullover that's been oft ignored for no good reason. I love how it looks as if the big bulldog is looking adoringly at its pup! In an effort to stretch my existing wardrobe, I layered this sweatshirt over my black Jenny dress from PUG (how apropos, given the dog theme!) to instantly create a skirt.

I took these photos on one of the last, beautiful days of fall. It's definitely more wintery now, but since Christmas is less than two weeks away(!!!??), I don't mind so much. I got a chance to do some holiday things this weekend – I did some shopping, looked for a Christmas tree, and watched Scrooged. Plus, I got a much-needed hair cut (and color!) and saw some dear friends I hadn't seen in far too long. Next weekend, I'll need to get down to business and start wrapping presents!
