Today I'm wearing my nice comfy cardigan, which is looking especially old man-ish with the cords and the checkered shirt. I couldn't tell you why, but I like it. Sometimes I think I must have been a very old man in a previous life because I tend to like old man things, like maps, cabbage stew, and shouting at children to get off my lawn.

And before I leave you all for the weekend, here's a glimpse at our Christmas tree:
We haven't found the perfect star yet, so for now it's just a big plaid bow on top. But the good news is, there are already some presents under the tree!
Have a good weekend, everyone!
You don't look oldmanish at all! It's a very pretty outfit on you. Now, my Nonno cardigan... THAT's oldmanish ;) I have 2 parties this weekend and a wedding to go to the next. You beat me by 1, heh. Can't wait to see your outfit(s)! Your tree is beautiful! I'm setting mine up this weekend. Yay!
ReplyDeleteI love that you like "old man" type things, like yelling at children to get off your lawn. That made me giggle. :) Your tree is so pretty! Do you already know what most of those presents are? :)
ReplyDeleteCloset Crisis - Whew! At least mine aren't all coming up this weekend, haha!
ReplyDeleteMelissa - Haha, yay, I got a giggle! And all of those presents are from me to give to other people, haha! No presents for AmyK under the tree... *eyes Boyfriend*
ooh, i luurve the tartan on your tree!
ReplyDeleteOk, so I'm definitely LOVING this outfit! Copy it I will ;-)
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing what you wear to your first holiday party. I know you were trying to figure out what dress for what ocassion a little while ago. My company's Christmas party is tonight and that's probably the only time I'll be getting fancy.
ReplyDeleteI like the gray plaid with the coral cardigan. Nice color combo!! I saw a similar shirt in the J Crew outlet and was so tempted to buy it, but I have the hardest time figuring out how to work that print.
Amy, I spent hours yesterday looking for pretty ornaments. I'd love to get my hands on some of the stars you have there! We are having a crafts day this weekend to make some of our own.
ReplyDeleteI love that coral pink on you. You seriously have a great collection of cardigans.
Your Christmas tree is so pretty! I like your plaid bow, by the way.
ReplyDeleteYour 'old man' cardigan and checkered shirt are chic and great... wear what you're comfortable with! It obviously works for you!
The tree looks so pretty. Love your gray/white checked blouse and cardi. Have a great time at the Holiday party
ReplyDeleteVery pretty...I love the checked shirt with the orange cardi! Enjoy your party, I had mine last night :)
ReplyDeleteYour tree is divine! I love how a Christmas tree makes a house feel cozy and warm. I wish we could keep them up all year round.
ReplyDeleteGreat outfit too, the grey cords are so cool. I can't wait to hear about your company's holiday party. Have fun!

Your tree is so pretty! Great idea to post a pic...why didn't I think of that? I hope you don't mind, but I'm stealing your idea. :) Your outfit is so cute and looks so comfy to. I love that style of cardigan and the coral color looks great on you. I have a JCrew "grandpa" cardi I put on the second I get home!
ReplyDeleteYou're the cutest grandpa I've seen! The coral looks really great with the cords, so cozy.
ReplyDelete"Old man things, like maps, cabbage stew, and shouting at children to get off my lawn..." hahahha, I LOVE it :)
ReplyDeleteOh, and the tree, simply beautiful!
love the bow idea. Never seen it before, it looks super cute!!
ReplyDeleteI love the sweater-- great color and looks very comfy! Cute tree as well! Makes me wish we had room for a tree this year. Last year, I couldn't find the perfect star to top off my tree so ended up making one! It's amazing what you can do with cardboard and tin foil! lol
ReplyDeleteLove the way you looped your belt buckle back over itself! I'll have to try that.
ReplyDeleteThe tree topper is a hard one for me too. I never can find the perfect one. I love your idea of using a bow. As always, I love your outfit. I have a couple of the cable cardigans....love them, and I agree they have a cozy, kinda of grandpa feel to them.
ReplyDeleteWe found a star that resembles a jack, as in jacks that you play with. I think it's supposed to rest on a flat surface, but we wonk it on the try somehow each year. You're creative. You've done great so far and will find something you like even more. Your tree looks great!
ReplyDeleteYou could wear and bring such oldish cardigans more often
