A comfy dress and a sequin blazer. This outfit is definitely in the running for New Years. My plans are still up in the air so I might as well figure out what I'm wearing, right? (Please don't ask me if I'm ready for Christmas. I'm not. You might have assumed I am considering I am thinking about New Years but I am really far behind and dealing with it the best way I know how - avoidance)

traditions

I finally got some Christmas shopping done yesterday {insert round of applause here}.  I started feeling kind of bad about myself when every blog I stopped by was full of Christmas baking, decorations and amazing traditions. I haven't even decorated a gingerbread house yet and aside from family dinners that's the only thing I've done every year. What are your favourite Christmas traditions? I feel like I need to add to my list of traditions to attempt to start this holiday season... and what better way to come up with Christmas traditions than to steal them from you lovely people.
