November in a Nutshell

So, it’s like…pretty much winter now I think. This was a work outfit from last week, and it was so cold in my office I had to use the blanket scarf as an actual blanket. Next step: electric blanket scarf.

NY&Co sunglasses

New sunglasses just in time for me to not see the sun for 5 months. Only $15 though!

I spent a lot of time in theaters this month, starting when I saw my friends perform in Young Frankenstein (I have very talented friends).

…And then those same friends came to see me on stage, performing in a modern dance showcase. These were opening night flowers from my choreographer.

Sigh. This was my election day outfit. I was so proud of my democrat blue. I’m finally at a point I can look at it again.

Kendra Scott bracelet, Popsugar Must Have box

Check out the cute Kendra Scott bracelet that came in my Must Have Box (c/o Popsugar) this month! I’ve already worn it multiple times (I’m a big fan because it’s adjustable). It’s been fun getting a box of surprises every month. The Must Have Box would make a great gift for a sister or close friend (and by “close friend” I mean yourself)  – you can get $5 off your first box with the code SHOP5!

I think my favorite way to wear fancy, sparkly jewelry is with a really casual outfit. There’s something very Parisian about it, and what do basic American girls like almost as much as froyo and Taylor Swift? Paris.

But really, don’t you love the certain je ne sais quoi of a plain t-shirt and jeans with a pearl necklace, or a big chunky sweater with a gemstone or diamond ring? Not a bad idea for a Thanksgiving day outfit, now that I think about it! That’s an outfit that says “I’m ready for a very cozy but very special occasion.”

Speaking of Thanksgiving, I really truly hope you all have a lovely holiday filled with lots of food and very little talk about the election with your radical uncle.
