Styled. Cozy Autumn Outfit.
Oooooh yeah! Cold weather! I'm so in love with the cold days right now (in a few months I'll obviously be annoyed with them BUT that is just how it is). I've been wearing the heck out of my scarves and sweaters and riding boots and skinny jeans (cause next month is just dresses).Can you believe it is Thanksgiving next week? I feel kind of behind on my gift purchasing. I'm through the roof excited through to start putting up all my Christmas decorations- I was raised with strict rules that Christmas decor does not go up until after Thanksgiving. Am I as excited to do it as a race horse before the shot? Yes. Maybe one year I will break tradition and put up Christmas decor early- but I feel like my hubby might shoot me if I do that.OH OH OH... and who is going to see Mockingjay Part 2?? I am!!! So excited!!! *squee*
Okay- so with the cold weather comes lots of blankets piled up around me while I watch Friends or Gilmore Girls (depends on whether my hubby is home or not). Oh and I also love a little hot cocoa- and my hubby makes this crazy yummy hot cocoa that's a little more that just swiss miss in a mug with hot water. I told you about that hot cocoa last year and if you missed it here is it.Since I already shared my favorite hot cocoa recipe with you- I have something a little more adult-like for you. You can't go wrong with a delicious hot buttered rum. :D
