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.

Can we talk about the conspiracy that is jean shorts? Everyone acts like they’re a cool, laid-back, casual summer staple. HOWEVER. #1, they’re even harder to shop for than regular jeans. And #2, if you find a flattering pair, they’re horribly uncomfortable to sit in. After a few minutes in the car, I feel like I might be cheating on my spouse. (If you’re reading this honey, I obviously wouldn’t do that. Jake Gyllenhaal doesn’t even live around here.) I hadn’t worn my jorts for 7 months, so I forgot they’re better for days when you’re mostly standing or walking in hot weather. Hashtag Midwest problems.

Pretty cute though, right?
