Outfit and Occasion

 

Outfit:

Pink Rose Sweater (Shalom Shuk, Burlington), $4.00, Abercrombie Jeggings (Marshalls, New York), $10.00, Tan Shoes (Stella Mae, Burlington), $?

Cozy sweater dresses are my jam.  This particular alpine patterned one is the perfect thickness and makes an easy, simplistic outfit!  While Shalom Shuk has offered a lot more misses than hits lately, there are still occasional finds…just gotta keep on diggin’!  These VT shaped earrings (with a little stud in the middle) were a gift from Tom for Christmas! Splurged yet again at Stella Mae, but quality shoes are kinda essential and nice to get without pre-worn funk.

Occasion:

My first Christmas celebration!

Down to Concord, Mass for a full-on long weekend of colorful conversation, not-so-wintery walks, wine without end, stockings, presents, Deal or No Deal, and HAM!

 

This year, after spending a couple of days fixated on the presents under our beautiful, fake tree (my very first Christmas tree EVER), Tom and I could not resist opening each others presents, and wound up giving in and opening them on the 20th…oopsy-daisy!  No regrets.

Happy New Year!  Here’s to the sweetest one yet!

Aside from a relaxed NYE with my honey, hibachi at KOTO Japanese Steak House is a New Years Day tradition for Tom’s immediate family!  It’s a special experience from the perfectly sautéed meats and veggies, to the zucchini tossed into each person’s mouth, the BEST sushi I’ve ever had, and, of course,  the fiery tower of onions.

The whole shebang at KOTO!

Loving this holiday season!
