Currently Crushing On

With Thanksgiving and Christmas quickly approaching I've been crazy busy.  I've got my craft show this weekend, Christmas party planning meetings, Thanksgiving and lots of Christmas shopping to do.  And I love every minute of this craziness.  The holidays are the best time of year.  Lots of family time, all the decorations and getting to spoil my kids rotten.  But of course I like to treat myself here and there with a little something pretty.

Then comes the dreaded, "What do you want for Christmas?".  Every year (since I graduated High School) I always dread this question.  It seems the older I get the harder it is for me to give my husband and parents a wish list.  One because I tend to just go out and get whatever it is I want and two it's just hard to decide what I want or need.  I remember one year asking for baby clothes and nursery decorations for my son!  Yup welcome to adult/motherhood!

So after a lot of online window shopping and thinking I finally came up with a few items that I am just crushing on that I hope Santa brings me!

Simple and Plaid

I have been totally rocking the lazy look lately!  With the weather being all over the place and trying to get everything I need ready for my upcoming craft show I've been a hot mess!  So yesterday I decided alright, but down the lazy clothes and get dressed!

So of course on the day I decided to finally get back to looking like a human.. I have nothing to wear.  Zip zero nada!  Okay not really, but I know everyone woman has felt like that from time to time.  And yesterday was my day.  So I decided to keep it simple and throw on my favorite skinnies and my simple white piko.  I love how just adding one or two small and simple items can also instantly make your outfit stand out more.  So I added my new favorite plum plaid scarf and a cute necklace and I was set.  Needless to say I didn't go anywhere, but I did feel pretty darn cute!
