Sparkle On

 {sequin skirt: LB | chambray top: JC Penney | red wedges: payless | belt: dots | necklace: gordman's}

Ya gotta love the sequin skirt season, right ladies? Seriously, I yearn for more holiday parties because I am just a huge fan of sparkle festiveness! Even if the weather looks super scary and ominous... it was worth braving this storm...  I wore this to my last bunco game of the year, and spent some good time with some of my favorite ladies!  I can't wait to plan more outfits around this skirt! 'Tis the season! Cheers!

Baby, You A Song

I've noticed a merry trend lately! The past few songs I have wanted to share on M of M have been folky or country.  Not stopping that anytime soon, because I am completely obsessed with this song.  Enjoy! Happy Saturday!  Be sure to tune in Monday for a MERRY MERRY MERRY announcement!  XOXO!

Sheer Genius

{the best dress ever: c/o eShakti | studded blazer: Gordman's | red wedges: payless | necklace: F21}

It's not secret that this Merrymaker goes goo-goo over a dress every now and then!  It's now and then again! eShakti sent me this sheerly amazing dress a few months back, and it was the perfect dress for my first holiday party of the season! (p.s. POCKETS!!!) I am in LOVE with the sweetheart bust & sheer top.  Matched up with a studded, cropped blazer = bingo bango bongo! Oh, and no soiree is complete without my go-to red wedges.  Go check out eShakti! They have an amazing line of fall/winter dresses that are all FULLY customizable!  I wanted this to be a lady-like dress so I chose to have it hit right above the knee.  Gotta love that!!! You will NOT be disappointed, my little chickens!  Let me know what fabulous finds you discover.  I want to add this gold one to my collection of happy party dresses. Happy Friday! Enjoy your weekend, your family and friends, and the upcoming festivities! Cheers!!!!!

Army Green & Sweater Dresses

 {sweater dress: ross | boots: LB | belt: torrid | scarf: target | coat: macy's | sunglasses: michael kors}

Sweater dresses may be one of the greatest fashion inventions since leopard print coats & chicken biscuits.  I stayed warm all day long and beyond that, I was super comfortable.  Gotta invest in some more of these babies.  Also, I didn't even notice until I got to work that my coat, scarf, AND belt all had the same shade of green!  Not on purpose.  The coat is just my favorite, so I naturally grab it most mornings.  I guess it was just an army green kind of morning.  GOOD NEWS! I have finally started my Christmas shopping!  What did people do before they could shop online?!  SO EASY! Have you started crossing items off your shopping list?  It's definitely a good feeling.  Only a few more things to go! 'Tis the season!
