Phew, I wore (and blogged) this sweatshirt just in time! I know winter doesn’t technically begin for a few weeks, but once December hits, it’s hard to think of any season other than the Christmas season. Pass the eggnog.

I’m a big fan of “special” sweatshirts (you know, with some snazzy embellishments or French crap on them). Sometimes I make them extra special with fancy earrings. In case you’re thinking this is a look you can’t pull off, well…I guess you could be right. I mean, I don’t know most of you. BUT I still think you should try it. The secret ingredients are sass and confidence. And maybe eggnog.

Yes, this is two posts in a row featuring a velvet something-or-other. And I did actually wear them back-to-back in real life. I might not get on board with every trend (ain’t nobody over 25 got time for that), but when I really like one, I’m all in. I feel like this combination of shapes and fabrics is equal parts frumpy and chic, which pretty much sums me up.
