Any fellow gladiators out there? I’m counting down the days til Season 6 of Scandal! Remember the season when Kerry Washington was pregnant in real life, so Olivia Pope was suddenly really into ponchos? One time she took off her poncho to reveal…another poncho. That show was ahead of its time (poncho-wise) because now it seems the one-size wearable blankets are everywhere! I got this one for 15 bucks on Black Friday in New York and it’s super cozy. I’m thinking I’ll leave the doubling up to Olivia Pope though. Call me a traditionalist, but I’m more of a one-poncho-at-a-time kind of girl.

You know what I’m a fan of? Silent auctions. They’re like competitive shopping. Much like red wine and spending Friday night at home in your sweats, silent auctions are something you don’t learn to enjoy until adulthood. If you haven’t participated in one before, I recommend it – preferably one that benefits a good cause. On Saturday I went to an art auction to benefit Indiana Youth Group, an organization that provides a safe space and programming for LGBT youths here in Indy. I snagged a really pretty print for only $40 and helped team rainbow along the way. And I had an excuse to dress a little bit fancy. If there aren’t any silent auctions in your future (so sad for you), a shift dress with metallic flats and tassel earrings would also be perfect at a holiday party!
