Bushels of Holly Berries



Yesterday just did not seem to be my day. Everything went relatively fine, but it was just exhausting! I promised myself I wouldn't get upset, frustrated, or overworked about all of the last minute holiday shoppers because I chose to be one myself... but then we stood in line at Hobby Lobby in the framing department for 2 hours and 15 minutes! Why on earth did we do that? I have no idea. We were next in line (for about an hour thirty) so it seemed silly to walk away then but all we needed was a piece of glass! Ugh. The two ladies behind us almost threw down about who was next but I gently spoke up and made it known who was indeed there first. The other lady was far from my biggest fan but I feel like people get so overworked about things like that! We paid the car payment, finished (most) of our shopping (I know! Grr!), and managed to have a yummy homecooked meal... but still, I just didn't feel my usual cheery self today. It definitely shows in the outfit photos, too! (or lack thereof!)

Either way, I really do love this outfit. It's the sister dress to this outfit I posted earlier, but I thought it'd be fun to play up the holiday reds and greens. I of course wore my blue peacoat and yellow scarf, but I figured you'd be tired of seeing those by now, too! Oops!


♥ dress: urban outfitters, tights: hue, belt: forever 21, cardigan: target, purse: forever 21, flats: target ♥


Today I'm going to finish up some wrapping and then head into town to hang out with my best friend Bryan for the evening. I miss our solid hangouts! Happy Thursday! xo

  1. Your outfit posts over the past few days have had me swooning. Though, I always spend at least ten minutes staring at your hair and trying to figure out how I can get mine to look like that :)

  2. You look so cute in this outfit. I'm definitely feeling the holiday cheer in it.

    I have to say that I have really been loving your looks of late (you always look adorable though!)

    Happy Holidays :)

  3. Well shoot...I hate it when things happen like that this time of year. Last minute shopping is always a pain....I work in retail & generally love this time of year because it's fast paced & most people are filled with holiday cheer.

    Happy Holidays :) :)

  4. I love that dress. You look absolutely stunning. Sorry about your day. I hate doing last minute Christmas shopping. The lines are terrible, and everyone's grumpy!

  5. Very cute! I too wasn't feeling my normal peppy self yesterday & I wasn't Christmas shopping. Maybe it was due to a teething baby...

  6. I love this outfit!!!
    I know what you mean about those lines! Ugh!! Then you start questioning yourself: Do I *reallllly* need this? Can it wait? And I applaud you for settling the dispute behind you! I am always afraid that someone will not view it as helpful and that they will stalk me and hurt me!! lol.
    Have fun wrapping and last minute presents!! We still have a few to wrap- which seems like a waste now- it will only be wrapped for 15 minutes before someone unwraps it!! :P oh well...
    Happy Holidays friend!!!

  10. I just had a horrible, lengthy, day-ruining experience at Hobby Lobby myself!

    I'm the lurker that asked about the brown/chocolate sparkle paint...we painted last weekend and it looks amaaaazing, so I wanted to say thank you for the recommendation!!

    And I love that outfit!

  14. Ooh I loveee this dress! I think I prefer this one to the 'sister' dress! The colours are just amazing! I just bought some tights that colour, but had no idea how to style them so this gives me a bit more inspiration! I love how you mixed the green cardigan too!

  16. I love love love this outfit! I've seen So many great sales and so many super cute dresses while out shopping this week, but I've made a strict decision not to shop for myself until after Christmas/Tuition is paid. [I might have cheated just a little to splurge on my very own pair of mustard yellow tights that were on supersale ;)]
