I am totally bugging out about how quickly Christmas is approaching. My grandmother passed away on Thanksgiving when I was a teenager, so I tend to always skip right over that holiday. I've been listening to Christmas tunes, and I'm putting up decorations this weekend.

With the time change it's dark when I leave for work and even darker when I return, so I'm opting to share a few quick snaps of outfits from last week. I promise to supply a worthy post soon! 

I wore the cutest Lacoste dress known to man last week Monday. Although I'm hyped for winter, I'm still desperately holding onto summer and really did look like an idiot headed for the tennis court. Still, navy? stripes? I'm into it no matter the season. 

I hope you'll appreciate this cubicle selfie. I wore this knowing I'd be going from work to dinner for my best friend's birthday. This wrap skirt was a TJ's score and is incredibly cozy. 

Here's Friday night and what my famed dressing room usually looks like. In my defense, my house is under construction at the moment, so I have a lot of things from the living room here. Anyway, I tried desperately to not look like a soccer mom, and I'm wearing that sweater from a few posts ago, Hudson jeans, and really slutty boots. I was also so excited that my grandmother's wedding band finally fits my hand; I'm never taking it off.

Let me preface this post with it turns out taking outfit photos after work requires a tinsy more effort than I had in me this week. My boyfriend took these photos Thursday, but I am just getting around to posting them today. I have a few other things I wore to work last week in the queue, too. So, what I'm saying is... stay tuned? 

It is definitely autumnal in Michigan this week. People here go on and on about how great fall is, when really it's like riding this really exciting roller coaster up to the top and landing in a shit storm full of ice and snow. The only thing great about Michigan winters is Christmastime. I live and die for Christmas, so I'm pretty sure I'd be happy even if I lived in California.

Dress: Target I scored this on lunch, of course, last week. 

Sweater: Anthropologie

Boots: Target Not a lunch find, surprise! However, I'm not sure how I lived without a moto boot in my life. Pair with leggings and you're done. They're also super cozy, and my boyfriend says I look like I could stomp on someone. I have to be honest, that's always the look I'm going for. 

Bracelets: Fitbit, Tiffany

Nails: The amazing Sally Hensen Miracle Gel which has replaced my shellac manicures.
