Can I just squee for a moment about how generous my family was this year for Christmas? Not only did I get so many items off my list but I also FINALLY ended up with the J. Crew Schoolboy navy blazer I’ve been lusting after for months and months. Granted, that was a joint Christmas and birthday present from my dad and my husband and I had to order it because they were out of my size in the store but I don’t care. So excited!
And, of course, the Gorjana Griffin bracelet I first saw on Corals and Cognacs months ago. My husband is too sweet!
I also did pretty good with my no-shopping-for-myself ban. I mean, jeans aren’t really something you can ask someone else to buy for you. The white blazer I bought AFTER Christmas so I think that’s okay. Plus, it fills a huge hole in my closet. The Sole Society shoes were too good of a deal to pass up and I really wanted the Old Navy shirt to wear to Christmas brunch with one side of my family.
Getting new clothes for Christmas is so fun and I always look forward to having new pieces in my wardrobe for the new year.
How were your holidays?

Pairing the fancy sequined skirt with a neutral colored cardigan and nude heels helps keep it from being too bling-y or overwhelming.
The fact that I paired two pieces that could be considered slightly casual but added heels and a blazer makes my outfit work appropriate without being traditional.
Ever since I bought this tie-neck top I have been wanting to pair it with these pants. 
Today I’m going to share with you one of my favorite ways to this lace dress that I’ve come up with yet.
