Goodwill has some warm winter cardigans. This one was under $3 and I couldn't pass up the burgundy color. This bird dress is thrifted from honestly who knows where. It's not meant to have the belt with it but I tried to make it work. I thought the birds were so cute and definitely unique!
Considering this dress is meant for summer, I turned it into a winter dress by adding a thick cardigan, tights, and warm shoes that you can hide fuzzy socks in.
Finals are over which means Christmas break is here which means I'm free from the worst semester of my college career. I had eight final projects/exams that had to be completed along with eight freak out sessions from all the stress. But hey, it's over and now I can talk about Santa and cookies and presents. This is the first Christmas that I will not be waking up early with my brother and running to the tree to shake all of our presents. I won't be able to wake up my mom and dad before the sun goes up or make gingerbread cookies with mom for Santa. There will be no cookie day {HERE} or cousin time or nana's house. This year I will be with Creed's family and learning all of his families traditions. I'm going to miss PJ night and having the Christmas Eve late night talk with my brother but now that I'm twenty it's a little harder to have Christmas on Christmas day.
Cheers to new traditions and trying not to be a little girl anymore. & I don't really care for birds so I'm not sure why I'm wearing them.
p.s. sorry I've been absent, got a little crazy in this life of mine.
This outfit is so cute. For some reason I love birds in design and clothing. Though I don't have that much outside of stationary. This is a nice look. Luckily KC and I's families live close enough to one another that we are able to juggle them both every year. That may not be the case for much longer but I feel fortunate in that. The first year that I couldn't go to my family's home on Christmas morning was so hard for me. I cried before I joined his family for breakfast and opening gifts. - not for long... but it was a sad grown up moment for me. I totally understand where you're at. Good luck, I am sure that you will have a lovely holiday with his family, and figure out a schedule that works for the two of you over the years. :) XO -Alexandra

Yes, exactly! It's just a sad grown up moment for me knowing all the Christmas traditions will be going on without me this year. But Creed has an incredible family that makes me feel like I'm at home here so that makes it so much easier! Thanks for your lovely comment, Alexandra!!
