What I Wore on Christmas Eve
Twas the day before Christmas and the weather was right, in the 30s and 40s and no snow in sight!
So I wore my over the knee boots and a light coat, and we enjoyed the day wondering around the Mall of America.
Skirt and blouse: H&M
Jacket, tights, boot: Target
Necklace, ring, pin: vintage
Hope you are having a great holiday season!

Sketches of the Week and The Nutcracker
So I didn't post an outfit of the week on Monday (more about that below), but I did want to get at least one post done before Christmas. So here are my latest sketches. Above and below are my favorites of the last batch, both done in gouache.
The scene below is also in gouache, and I was practicing shadows.
I used a sketching app on my phone to do the little Christmas cat below.
So the reason for no outfit post was that we went to the Nutcracker ballet last Friday night and I fully intended to get a shot of my outfit. But it was snowing like crazy and I was hemming and hawing on what to wear that would be cute and practical. So by the time I was dressed and ready, it was time to go! So the best I can give you is this selfie me an my girl took out in front of the O'Shaunessy Auditorium, in the snow!
I had to borrow the pic below, as you aren't allowed to take any photos. This is the second time we've gone to this particular ballet, and it is just magical. It is all my daughter can talk about. And I must admit, I can't stop thinking about it myself.
We definitely want to go again next year! Have you ever been to the Nutcracker? Have you seen any other ballets?

What I Wore
I still really love this coat I got as a Christmas present a couple of years ago, the ruffle detail down the front makes it so unique. And once I decides to wear my vintage Christmas tree pin, I couldn't stop there and did a cluster on my coat!

What I Wore
This may be the last time I get to wear my moto jacket so I took advantage of it. Plus I wasn't sure if I'd ever get a chance to wear my suede boots again with snow and colder weather coming.

Our mild weather continues, so I've been wearing jackets more than coats. Moto jackets are perfect for this.
