This is my last post of 2014. I didn't think I would be spending NYE in bed with a cold, but at least it's given me time to reflect and think back on what a year it has been. And what a year it has been! 3 jobs, 3 apartments... I crossed some things off that were on my 2014 bucketlist (like earning a belt in martial arts, and learning how to use a slow cooker.) I'm thankful for the lessons learned this year (like renew your car registration on time and make sure the DMV has your most updated mailing address...) So long, 2014. And thanks.
I'm looking forward to what 2015 will bring. I'm grateful for the (few) people who I know follow along with my blog and take the time to read what I have to say, or comment, or say hi on social media. Connecting with each of you means so much to me, and I'm excited for what the new year will bring in terms of deepening friendships and making new ones. I'm excited to continue to be creative, and to let my creativity flow even more. Thank you for being a part of this journey with me and I wish you and your loved ones so much happiness and fulfillment in 2015. May it be a great year!

Metallic Trim Dress
Happy Monday, everyone! Can you believe that Christmas is over already?! I sure can't. Once Christmas Eve arrives, I feel like life is on fast forward until New Year's Eve... don't you? I hope you all had a wonderful holiday full of family, friends and good food.
I like to keep things pretty basic and no-fuss when I get dressed, even during the holidays. I found this dress at Nordstrom and fell in love with the metallic trim around the collar, arms and hem. I might wear this dress on New Year's Eve (if I get over this cold I came down with in time for an evening of festivities.)
The metallic trim is really fun for this time of year. Just because Christmas is over doesn't mean the holiday wear gets put away just yet! This dress is versatile and can pass as a day-time outfit since it's so comfortable and easy to move in, as well as a dressier night-time outfit with the fun trim. I love the material. It's soft and breathable. Just glam up your makeup, add a leather jacket and a cute clutch and you've transformed an easy day-time dress to something evening ready.
While we're on the subject of clothes... do any of you loathe wearing tights? Seriously, I used to hate wearing tights (especially as a child when my mom would suggest I wear them to church or school) but you guys... I've had a revelation. Tights are amazing if you just buy them one size UP from your usual size! I always thought they were so uncomfortable and, well, tight, and the material always stretched too thin across my legs so I didn't get the darker, opaque look that I was going for. Well, low and behold, I bought a size up in these H&M tights and I am singing their praises because they are amazing. I want to wear them with everything.
And now I will end the saga that is this post. I hope everyone has a great week!
