This was it — the outfit that made me remember that I do still like putting on a little makeup and a blazer and looking casual-chic and vaguely French. I’ve enjoyed the last (gulp) year of ultra-casual, au naturel Sarah, but man did I really feel like me in this outfit. It felt good to be back, even just for a day.

I have a confession to make: I started listening to Christmas music 4 days before Thanksgiving. I know. I’m normally a “one holiday at a time” person. I want to have my pumpkin spice everything (including pants, apparently) up through Thanksgiving, and then switch to gingerbread everything.

And I’ve noticed that these 2 camps of people – the early Xmas celebrators and the late – seem to get really worked up over the people who don’t follow their preferred timeline. What’s that about? If you want to deck your halls right after Halloween, do it. Just don’t expect to see a wreath on my door for another month after that.

Whatever roasts your chestnuts or spins your dreidel, friends. Happy Holidays. (It’s December, so I can say that now.)

P.S. I found this beautiful Theory blazer at a secondhand store for $20! I’m starting to understand why people like thrift shopping – the excitement of an amazing find is pretty great.
