Full disclosure: this is kind of a photo-heavy post! Sorry! I just love rediscovering items in my closet. This dress was one of those forgotten ones in the way back. I hadn't worn it since last Christmas, but since last night was the holiday party for the orchestra I work for, I was so glad I finally had another occasion for which I could dust it off. My mom and I both work for the orchestra (she does public relations work for them, and I work in the box office), so I ended up going with my parents for a little while. There weren't a ton of people I knew there (the box office is kind of its own little world, separate from the administrative offices), but I had fun -- despite the fact I generally hate mingling and am honestly still a kind of shy person at heart.
I'm so enchanted with this little snowflake necklace from Forever Bella Jewelry! Although I tend to love loud prints and over-the-top kitschiness, I actually gravitate towards daintier jewelry. I was searching for something simple and seasonal, and this delicate little snowflake necklace caught my eye. It's even daintier in person than I thought it'd be, which was a welcome surprise. There are tons of adorable little necklaces in this shop, and the shipping was incredibly fast!
I feel very "ugh" towards these Uggs. They're old (and kind of a ubiquitous sight, here in this frozen tundra of a place), and I would never buy them now, but they are warm and durable. I've ruined enough pairs of shoes by now that I need to wear unfashionable boots when the snow piles up like this. Luckily, these don't look totally offensive with this outfit, but here are the shoes I *actually* wore to the party -- a big improvement, I think. They're from ModCloth (no longer available, sadly).

I can hardly believe that Christmas is a week away! I have to finish wrapping a few gifts (and I always feel that I haven't gotten enough for people), and we have to do some baking, and cleaning, of course. But our holiday is always pretty low key -- which I've come to enjoy. I always get dressed up for Christmas Eve, but we never even leave the house! I'll use any excuse to get dolled up. :)
Have a great Wednesday!
