The 20 Something Society

What can I say…I’m just not ready for it to be over!  I decided today I would put my Christmas moolah gifts to work.  I bought three things.

The first is a tissue turtleneck tee from JCrew.  I don’t have any of their tissue tees – so I hope I like it.  But I LOVE turtlenecks.  I only own turtlenecks in sweater form, and although I know these tissue tees are mostly used for layering, it may seem weird wearing one that isnt a sweater.

The second was a striped hoodie, also from JCrew.  I only own one hoodie – and after losing nearly ninety pounds its too big for me.  I never got around to buying a new one.  Mainly because I don’t frequent a hoodie – but everyone needs one!  And I’m also a sucker for stripes.

And last but certainly not least is the DVD Christmas Unwrapped – The History Of Christmas from the history channel.  I LOVE watching this and unfortunately if you try to get it in on Netflix during the holiday season ….YOU WONT….so I bought it.  If you would like to know where the christmas traditions you practice ACTUALLY came from.  Watch this.

So thank you to all you family members that sent me dollah dollah bills for christmas!  This is what ya got me.

Here is what I wore on New Years Eve – My new leopard print shoes – Silky skirt from the Gap – sweater from JCrew.  I LOVE the color of this sweater – especially matched with a red orange or coral.

The Husband and I went out for a nice quiet dinner on New Years Eve.  Just the two of us.  Thats the way we like it.  We’re a bit antisocial.  We both ordered the exact same thing.  A pasta dish which included bacon shrimp AND chicken cooked in a rosemary cream sauce – and then all of it topped with a roasted red pepper sauce – whew!  It was DElish!  I am a sucker for anything involving the word rosemary.  I was planning on being good and ordering a salad but that obviously didnt happen.

I went out the day before New Years Eve and bought a couple of little items to add to my outfit.

Some leopard print kitten heels (meeeow!)  and a coral lipstick.  I can’t wait to try these kitten heels with different things – especially my skinny jeans!  The husband took some pics of me in my outfit before we left – but I havent uploaded them yet – been lazy.  What did you do for New Years?  For me its not really about DOING anything spectacular – just being able to get dressed up!

With the holiday season comes a lot of parties and family gatherings, so I thought I’d have you guys ready for them with a couple of looks.
