Sweater: Hand Made by Grandmother
Dress: American Apparel (40.00)
Tights: Vera Wang for Kohls (7.00)
Socks: Hue via TjMaxx (3.99)
Boots: Grinders
I'm currently at my mother's house in Maine until Saturday, so the dress code is decidedly lax. I rediscovered this sweater yesterday when rooting through trunks looking for treasure, my Nanana (grandmother) made this when I was seven years old! I love how it fits now, 3/4 sleeves and a little shrunken. The boots I've had forever and are the most comfortable things. I love the traditional ox blood color and how the leather has been worn away from years of wear. They're steel toe too, which makes them super warm and perfect for tromping through the snow (or tromping through town finishing my christmas shopping!). The weather has been beautiful, but very very chilly, I am really hoping we get some snow for christmas!
Is everyone ready for tomorrow? I just have a few more things to pick up and then I'm done! I'll be spending the rest of my afternoon listining to carols and making dozens and dozens of rum balls! yum!
Many of you have been asking me tons of questions about my hair lately, I'm going to (try) and put together a big post next week about it, it's kind of an involved subject and is going to take a little more concentration than my usual posts. i haven't bee avoiding the question, I'm just choosing my time right!
Q&A will resume next week!

Merry Christmas!

love your boots!
and you hair is so pretty! ^^
happy christmas! <3
Those colours are amazing! I love the boldness of the tights vs. the super subtle colour-differences in the sweater and in your hair. It's beautiful!
Happy Holidays!
You do have amazing hair! It makes me jealous! I love those tights!
love the orange tights and burgundy socks--and i love how different that sweater makes the dress look.
(by the way, this morning my little sister comes down with gorgeeeous hair and announces "i've done my hair like orchid grey"--adorable!)
Its funny you mention your hair because I just spent about 5 minutes starring not at your outfit (which is also wonderful) but at your hair. it is awesome. You have great volume and texture where it needs to be and no random bends or kinks in wierd places (my hair is ridiculous for "going the wrong way" all the time). I think it is beautiful so I can see why you get alot of qestions about it!
Your hair looks fantastic! I love that sweater with your dress. Have a great holiday! :) - JoAnn, Sidewalk Chalk
you restyle that AA dress so well! the orange tights look great with it!
Lovely boots. Annie.

i love the look of the sweater over the shirt dress, definitely gotta try that out VERY soon. :) and your hair is fabulous as always!
You really do have amazing hair.. I'm in LOVE with it. And your outfit is super adorable, as always. Have a wonderful holiday!

Your hair = still amazing!
Your boots= I want!
I didn't mind at all that you posted that question. Merry Christmas to you as well I hope the rest of your year is relaxing and fun. I hope you spend lots of time with family friends and of course your cats!
I'd just like to say that I really love your hair. Today my sister compared my hair to yours, she said it looked Orchid Grey pretty. Lately I've considered cutting it, but recently I've decided not to. You've inspired me to style my long hair instead of my normal routine of chopping it off. - Nikki
lovely boots Julie! Hope you had a wonderful holiday...
I love that outfit! It's so hard to look put together in this sort of weather and you pull it off really well.
This outfit looks so good! And it's really cool that you have a story behind the sweater.
I love the red tights, and your hair! My god! I'd kill for that hair!
