I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and still has a few days left to unwind and relax as we close out the year. I'm headed back to work for a few days but at least it's another short week. 

My mother gave me this poncho during the summer for my birthday and I finally got around to wearing it. Maybe in a few months I'll get to wear the other cold weather items I just got for Christmas. The temps went back up to 80 during the few days after Christmas so I may as well have gotten tshirts.  Oh well. 

I typically wear the red skirt as a summer item but was inspired by an outfit on pinterest to try it with a poncho. Here's a look at how I've worn it before.

I opted for another bright look last week. It might seem odd to pair hot pink with this mustard pattern skirt, but I thought the scarf pulled this together well. I received several compliments. 

Our Christmas decor this year is bright and colorful instead of the traditional red and green. Sometimes I do this with my wardrobe too. 

It's Christmas eve! I hope you are spending quality time with family and friends as we celebrate our Savior's birth. Merry Christmas! I'll be back online in a couple of days but I'll likely be away for a bit loving on those dear to me.

Here's another look with the Loft skirt I just had to have, thanks to the power of social media. This time I went with one of the looks straight from the remix collage created with it by Everyday Savvy. I think this is my favorite look so far with my denim jacket. I have struggled with styling and wearing a denim jacket. It's one of those things that it seems everyone must have, but yet I struggle with it. I love how it pops with this skirt.

The temps started dropping again Friday after that 80 degree day I complained about earlier last week, so I took the opportunity to wear some of my seasonal favorites- a sweater, scarf, and boots. I wore the sweater with a pencil skirt HERE when it was warmer. The addition of a scarf and boots with this easy formula let me take this outfit into colder temps.

Swayed again

Remember when I talked last week about being swayed by social media to buy something? It happened to me twice. This skirt from Target has also been in several collages on Pinterest and in many "ways to wear" posts by other bloggers. So the more I saw it, the more I needed it. Yep, swayed again.

 

Seriously, I happened to see it my local Target and had a 25% off cartwheel. I have five or more tops to wear with it, and a floral print is something I'd like to have more of in my wardrobe, so this was a no-brainer decision. My first way of styling and wearing this skirt is pretty close to one of Audrey's suggested ways. It will be a while before I run out of options from my closet with this one.

I've worn this skirt more times than I can possibly count. It's been in my closet over ten years, and I still love it. Last week was another cold week so I pulled it out and wrapped up in it. It's kind of like wearing a blanket.

The last time I wore this skirt, I was not at all pleased with the results so I hung it back in the closet and it's been there for what seems like forever. I do love the pattern and rich colors so I started thinking about wearing it again. I had eyed both the skirt and vest in the closet and decided they would go together nicely.

 

I wore this to church and afterwards we had lunch with a couple with a small child who decided to check out my necklace. She climbed into the seat beside me and looked into my necklace and exclaimed "there's a bird in there." And yes, there is.
