December Blues and A Giveaway






 
earrings c/o // sweater // button-up // skirt: J.Crew; old (option ) // pumps: Vince Camuto; old (love these ) // clutch: Hobo; old (option )
 
Happy Hump Day!
 
If you are following me on Twitter or Facebook you may have heard my terrible, horrible, no good news.  After adding the last ornament to the tree {which, when you're a perfectionist is a minimum 3 hour task} the tree toppled over on the floor, shattering ornaments and my Christmas dreams.  After the hubby and I got the tree upright and swept up the mess, ALL of the lights went out on the tree.  ALL OF THEM.  Enter full-blown panic attack.  Long-story short, tree is back up and glowing, but I am scarred for life. 
 
Tips for you:  do not try to put all of the ornaments on the front of the tree, trust your husband when he tells you the tree stand is too small; just laugh to keep from crying. 
 
Today I wanted to show you one of my recent causal work outfits.  I love the unexpected pairing of blues in this look.  I have seriously had this J.Crew skirt since 2004 and I still love it.  I am a true clothes hoarder.  And because leopard shoes match everything, I decided to pair them with the critter skirt.  With the Holidays just around the corner I am craving all things sparkly.  These earrings from Ask The Jewelry Lady  add just enough sparkle to this casual work outfit.  And guess what?!?  You can enter to win your own sparkly gem from Ask The Jewelry Lady!!  Just follow the directions of the Rafflecopter below.  Giveaway ends 12/10. 
 
Good Luck and thanks for reading!  Linkups are under the Rafflecopter!
