I remember I was SO excited when I found this shirt last year. I really wanted a flannel shirt that had red and green in it…you know, to get in the Christmas spirit and look adorable at the same time. When I saw this one at J. Crew I knew my search was over. It doesn’t get much more Christmassy or adorable than this. And good news – it’s now available at J. Crew Factory!

Mine has been in storage all summer and fall, and I wore it again for the first time the day after Thanksgiving to go Christmas tree hunting and Black Friday shopping. Yep, I went all in. Why not? Christmas only happens for a whole month every single year.

Also, be sure to take a moment and appreciate my mother-in-law’s nicely decorated front porch. She was disappointed I didn’t take my outfit photos IN THE DARK so you could see the Christmas lights. Selfishly, I decided I wanted to be visible in the photos for my own blog. Some Christmas spirit I have, huh? I’ll try more plaid…

Remember how I was just complaining about “paid-for” casual Fridays? A mere 3 days after wrestling with my complicated feelings on the topic, we had a good old-fashioned day-before-a-holiday jeans day. So this is how I decided to take advantage of the chance to wear denim to the office on Thanksgiving Eve. I switched it up a little with a chambray shirt and colored jeans this time. And I threw in a matching hat because why not. Sadly, the hat had to come off once I was at my desk. I’m not quite that daring, even on a casual day. I’m not too upset about it though. If my biggest problem is that I can only wear my cute hat while walking between my functioning car and my job at a fancy law firm, my life isn’t too shabby. Not to get too sentimental, but I’m feeling especially thankful this holiday season. Just to share the love, I might even donate to charity when I’m not wearing jeans to work.
