As much as I'm dragging my feet, the holidays are on the horizon.  At first, I'm in the anger phase that Halloween is over.  But I ultimately get on board and try to enjoy it as much as I can.  As someone with a birthday on the holidays I tend to have my own issues, in addition to the stress of making the big day perfect for Bianca.  I'm sure I'm telling on myself here but I'm also a massive over thinker and I probably ruin it for myself!  The one thing I thoroughly enjoy about the holidays is the fashion.  The jewel tones, the layering, and all the hats!  I purchased this Sister Jane dress last year but because of pandemic I have never actually worn it out... until now!

Dress- Sister Jane

Shoes- Target

This jacquard mini dress is absolutely extra.  The sleeves are huge, the skirt is short, and the bow at the neckline is the epitome of a statement.  This style used to be super out of my comfort zone but I've since ditched the "snatched waist only" look and I enjoy trying new silhouettes.  I envision wearing this to a holiday party of some sort but for now I'm just glad I got to wear it for these photos.  The sleeves definitely took up like most of my driver's space in my car though, I wish I had taken a picture of that!  While this dress is long sold out, the style is now available in a new and equally gorgeous print that you can find HERE.

I just realized yesterday that Thanksgiving is next week!  While I'm not a big fan of the holiday or the story behind it, I'm all about the food.  My family and I have gone mostly meatless because Bianca is a vegetarian but we have never been turkey fans... it's all about the sides.  My favorite is stuffing, it truly is the best side!  What's your favorite part of a Thanksgiving meal?  Let me know in the comments!

Monster Mash

 

Halloween may be over but that spooky lifestyle is here to stay!  I have *tons* of adorable outfits I wasn't able to shoot before the end of October but let's be real: if I wear this all year round I can post about them year round too.  As you can tell by my most recent posts, I've been all about the Halloween collection from Vixen by Micheline Pitt.  She released so many great new cuts and resurrected her ever-popular Monster Mash print.  This dress was one of my quickest purchases and I'm sure you can see why!

Dress- Vixen by Micheline Pitt

Shoes- Amazon

Hat- c/o Lively Ghosts

The Wicked Swing dress is a new style from Vixen.  It's loosely based on the Tie Me Up top and redesigned to be an effortless everyday dress.  It features a wide neckline with ruching at the bust, 3/4 sleeves, a gathered skirt with deep pockets, a back zippered closure, and a black grommet belt.  The fabric is a very stretchy knitted spandex and boasts the most wonderful monster print.  I'm wearing my usual size small, which is actually a little large on me.  Not enough to go through the effort of sending back and getting a smaller size, but I definitely could have taken an extra small.  That being said, I also have this dress in the spiderweb print and that one isn't as stretchy.  Just keep that in mind when you're shopping!  This dress is available in sizes XS-4X and can easily be worn any day that needs a little spooky boost.

This weekend my husband and I are taking a trip to San Diego!  We haven't been out of town by ourselves in quite some time so I'm pretty excited.  We're going to see Patton Oswalt, who is one of our favorite comedians, and I planned this whole trip for Kevin for Father's Day.  I'm pretty much ready for the show but I have no idea what to wear!  Basically, my issue every time something fun is on the schedule.  Do you overthink your outfits or is that just me?
