Last night, Rob and I attended a Christmas party for my office. Per tradition, we played the "White Elephant" or "Yankee Swap" game. For those of you who have never played, each guest brings a wrapped gift and places it under the tree. Each player then chooses a number out of a hat to determine the order. The player with #1 starts and selects a gift from under the tree. The next player can either choose a new gift from under the tree or steal the gift from player #1. This goes on and on, until each player ends with a gift.
Rob came away with the book "The Girl's Book How to be the Best at Everything". I am pretty certain it wasn't intended for his demographic. I faired much better in the exchange. Anway, the book tells you how to "pose" for pictures. I bring you the "best" pose.
The outfit:
Cardigan - H&M
Striped button down and navy tank - New York & Company
Skirt - Ann Taylor Loft
Necklace - Target
Tights - HUE
Heels - Oh Deer!
Since it has been appearing in every picture, I decided to post a picture of our tree. Each year, my family treks to a Christmas tree farm the Saturday after Thanksgiving to select and cut down a tree. I love having a different tree to decorate every year. You can't tell from the picture, but there are 3,500 lights on our tree this year.

With the temperatures dipping into the single digits and the wind whipping up to 60 mph, I crave comfort and warmth. A simple sweater dress, leggings and boots provide both of those. I just picked up these black suede slouch boots and I am loving them! They are very comfortable and go with everything. Definitely a winter staple this year.
Like most people, December is a busy time of year with the holidays. For me and my family this our busiest time of year as we have many birthdays to celebrate. Today is our daughter's birthday. 
In most areas, the snow was less than an inch. However, it was enough to cause headaches and multiple accidents during morning rush hour. Thankfully, I made it work safely.
My boss and I showed up to work both wearing black and this shade of green. Of course, colleagues took this opportunity to tease us. Several asked if we called each other to discuss our outfits. What can I say, great minds think alike.
As promised, I wore a different LBD today. This is a wrap dress that I chose to pair with a jacket. This dress is both stylish and comfortable, but it the V-neck is low and a bit risque for work. A black lack cami underneath and a jacket on top, convert it to work ap
propriate wear.
