It's Not Feeling a lot Like Christmas

I have been wearing sweaters and cords and boots and scarves since October trying to will fall into the air.  Here we are two weeks from Christmas and its still hot. Let me remind you that I live in central Arizona, and temps during the day are still in the upper 70's or low 80's.  So every once in a while I am forced to ignore the date on the calendar and follow the weather instead.
Don't mind the weird face/pose

Black and blue again.  I freaking LOVE these shoes and so worked my outfit around them.  All I had to do was run around town to about a thousand stores to pick up random stuff for the Holidays, no big.  What, you don't run errands in 5 inch wedges?  Don't judge.  The Salvation Army bell ringer loved it and called me Sassy.  Winner.

Check sidebar links, that's where I'll be this week!! ;o)

XO,
Alyssa



p.s.  I just wanted to take a second and thank all the lovely ladies who wrote such nice comments on my last copycat post.  Please know that I do not write disparaging remarks in order to gain your sympathy or to hear my praises sung and get my ego stroked.  I write things sometimes just because I think they sound funny--and because it is the truth as I see it.  I do, however, appreciate all your kinds words.  Thank you!!

  5. I'm in southern California and we are in the mid 65 - 70 degree range. Still, I'm starting to get jealous of gals wearing these faux fur coats and amazing suede wedge boots. I sure don't miss the snow, but .. would love to be able to dress for the winter season.

  6. Love the outfit. Your hair, oh your hair, it is always perfect!
    It was cold here today, but it won't last long until we are back up in the 50's.

  7. I thought everyone ran errands in very high platforms. I do. Are we weird? Naah. So great to have shoes that make living more fun, and that's a lot to ask of a pair of sandals. You look super. Oh, yes ... and your little rust, burgundy and lace outfit. It works! Although with the tights (very modest, but still bright and fashion forward) and your really good legs, I'm not sure you need to worry about the tunic/dress length.
