Advent: Day 1

 Outfit Details: Dress & Sweater: Thrifted // Hat & Tights : Target // Necklace: Vintage-Antique Mall // Shoes: DIY (here)








Remember this little ruby red slipper DIY I did a month back?  Well here these little darlings are making their first official outfit appearance on le blog.  Gosh, it always feels so good salvaging old worn out pieces and giving them a new life, am I right?

Anyhow, blue skies and warm weather had our little family out and walking in the park.  I welcome any sunshiny warm weather day this time of year and yes, 50 degrees feels quite heavenly as 20 degrees seems to be the current standard.  I will admit I greet old man winter quite begrudgingly, so a nice big bowl of chili is where it is at on these frigid almost winter evenings.  

Enough complaints about the weather, I am pleased as a pickle that the holidays are here and that tonight our little band has the honor of performing at our town's Christmas tree lighting.  How wonderfully quaint and Gilmore Girls does that sound...hehe?  Of course I'm a tad nervioso but it shall be a fun filled evening indeed.  It's no lie,  I am the biggest sucker for Christmas songs, and am very excited to rock around the Christmas tree and usher in the holiday spirit to our lovely little town.  

Enough chit chat, what are some of the things you are looking forward to this holiday season.  Do share :)


Happy December darlings!

Love Bunches,

  2. The most exquisite colorblocking of all time! I would have never dreamed up such a swizz outfit, but it works wonderfully. Those tights (and those fab DIY shoes) are to die for. Also: the little man's coordinating green top is a nice touch.

    I'm looking forward to sweets and seeing my husband's cousins, who are now my cousins. I never had any cousins growing up (zero, literally not one cousin) and I'm completely besotted with his (ours). I also want to go to Dave and Buster's and play video games, which is only in the town his parents live in. And maybe visit the art museum, if I'm lucky.

  6. This is a different look for you, I think with the pencil skirt, but I adore it's pockets. Actually this might be a favorite outfit from you. The color combo is really nice too.

    Yay! The Holiday season is finally here. I'm ready for spending time with my family/friends, getting to sleep in, not having to fresh about finals, and thrifting, of course. :)

  19. As usual, so many wonderful photos! The pumpkin tights are gorgeous with the ruby slippers, I love the way you mix and clash colours but it always looks cute. I must admit to feeling Christmassy this afternoon whilst half watching Miracle On 34th Street, even if it was the 90s version. Your band playing at the light switching on sounds so wonderfully quaint, really fantastic. Much better than some reality TV pleb or whoever they got to do it in my town xxxx

  20. Gorgeous weather and lovely outfit! Neat that you guys had a gig at the Christmas event. Hope it went well. Would love to have been there!

  21. Cute as ever, Marisa! Love your color pops and that dress seems pretty perfect. I can't get into the holiday spirit this year- not in a bah humbug way but in a "I don't feel like doing anything"/lazy way! I think I'll live vicariously through blogs :)

  22. Your life totally sounds like Stars Hallow and I'm so jealous! And your shoes are so pretty.

  23. Hahah Gilmore Girls- it really does sound like it! How did it go? I bet you were aaaawesome :) And I love your warm-weather-adventuring outfit, I really like the skirt. And Chicago has been having that same warm weather. I'm waiting for -20 weather to blow in as punishment for this little break haha

  24. Awe! Is there a video of yesterday's performance? If there is, please, do share! :)

    It's been very rainy here but I won't complain; I love rain. The funny thing is that it so happened to rain more heavily every single time I went out and needed to wait for my bus at bus stops without a shelter, haha!

    Wonderful outfit, Marisa! Hope you start the first week in December with a huge smile on your face! ;D

    Hugs!

  31. I love all of your photo spots and wish I could find as many! Your performance sounds great and hope you have tons of fun with it. It does sound like an adorable little small town thing - but really fun. Your outfit here is so cute and the green sweater is perfect for this time of year! I love wearing red, green, and gold around this time

  32. I love the turquoise with the orange-y tights! I completely agree that giving something old a little makeover is simply the best! It has been quite warm here too, and can I just say when I read the phrase pleased as a pickle I may have laughed out loud at work!
    Hope you're having a fabulous day!
