As I picked up the phone to snooze the alarm this morning, I realized it was December … Already! I reached for an extra blanket and felt something different in the air. Like happiness was wafting. I smiled … felt a flutter in my heart. Is it okay to say that I am dating a “month”? An affair so strong, it started in december …years ago and intensifies every year! I can’t put my finger on what it is about December – the holiday lights, Christmas songs on radio, waking up to snow on the ground or the fact that its my birthday month, no idea – but it’s no less than the butterflies in the stomach when holding hands for the first time kind of love!

I am wearing one of my favorite styles today – a pencil skirt, simple blouse and pumps. There’s something about tweed that says business and sophistication – so I invariably reach for my tweed jackets when I have a formal event to go to – be it a work meeting or the office holiday party. As much as it is fun to dressup over the top, especially during the holidays, sometimes you’ll stand out even in an understated yet classy outfit. Just pick the right statement piece and bring your smile – it’ll be enough to brighten up the room =)) xo
