I love December. Its the Holidays. Its time to meet family and friends. And its time for my birthday. I mean its like perfect. I am one of those people, who is still a kid at heart when it comes to birthday. I like it when friends and family make the extra effort to add in their small touches to make the day even more special.
Winter Birthdays mean a chance to layer up. As the weather has been on the cooler side for the last few days, I decided to go for one of my cardigans. I had picked this from my local Target. Yes, we are all guilty of those long Target hours when all we needed was a gallon of milk. This is a beautiful piece with some Aztec tones and prints. And it has a hood , to keep you warm if its windy. For me ,the hood is hidden when my leave my hair open. I wanted to belt it up and give it some shape. Don't get me wrong, I love the slouchy feel of this and might even wear it that way next time. As it was my birthday, I just wanted to accentuate a bit of shape in the outfit. So I belted it with a broad belt along the empire line. I had layered a black tank below it, as sweaters need something below them, I feel. Just my random thoughts, as sometimes sweaters can get itchy.
Paired it with my trusty navy jeggings from American Eagle and some old black leather boots from Steve Madden.
Also wanted to flaunt my birthday gift from Hubby: My red Ralph Lauren Bucket Bag . I am in love with it for sure. The red bag played up the amber tones of the cardigan.
I was warm , and I received a lot of compliments. Happy the way the outfit turned out. I had meant to don a necklace, but in the rush to be out of the house with a toddler, I complete forgot about it. My saving grace were my two sets of silver earrings.
I know the pictures are not great. I was earning the flak from my husband from lugging around a DSLR everywhere I go. I love taking pictures, I cant help it. So we bought a smaller NIKON, to help us with vlogging as well.But it seems, its not that great, as we thought it would be. As that was also a birthday gift from the man, let me not complain much. The man literally went overboard with the amount of things he picked up for me, this year.
