What is it that is so exciting (& stressful) about last minute Christmas Shopping? I think that it takes people a while to get into the Christmas spirit and to realise, shit.. it's Christmas in a couple of days. Me for one it only hit me this weekend, being away from home & not having decorations up where I live it's taken a while to kick in that it's Christmas in FIVE DAYS. It could also be due to the fact that Christmas also means manic work days ahead and a part of me is hoping for it to be over sooner rather than later. (Despite, loving Christmas). I realised that this weekend was my only chance left to get all my presents sorted before Christmas Eve on Saturday which is the time that I properly celebrate Christmas and exchange gifts, it has been that way ever since I was young and I intend to keep that tradition going no matter how far away I am from home.
Anyone who knows me will immediately tell you that I am a very classic black and white kinda gal. My whole wardrobe is not very colourful - I leave it to my personality to bring out the colours. (HA) It's almost mandatory when you spread the love and buy gifts for others, to self love and buy a gift for yourself in the process. (anything to make myself feel better for splurging money) I have added a few new additions to my wardrobe lately simply to add to my black and white collection or lets just call this my entire wardrobe. First off, I love leggings or yoga pants they're a signature look of mine which I find myself wearing not only for comfort but the way they style various outfits and simply work and go with everything. It was well overdue to invest in a fancier version of suede leggings which just dressed up a look instantly - can I just say how super comfy they are which is an added bonus! Secondly, I've been on the hunt for knee-high boots for a good couple of years and somehow they never quite fit right, I finally came across a pair whilst at work and you know what they say if the shoe fits...
Match the suede knee-high boots with the suede leggings and it's as if I'm wearing two in one! This look of black on black might not be for everybody but I just love the combination and the never ending effect that it gives.
It was this Sunday that I was dressed like this for the day that entailed going around shops & heading down to the Christmas Market, but I also was dressed up for the pub later that evening, where we met some friends for a drink or two. I love outfits that fit the part and hit two birds with one stone. With work I don't get to enjoy the clothes that I buy often due to always being in a uniform - I'm not complaining for having a uniform as i can imagine it would be so stressful spending hours deciding what to wear every morning... (& having an extra reason for being late to work) but I wish I had more occasions to wear my clothes more - I think extra leave just seems to be the right answer here. (ahhhh a girl can dream)
Have you guys finished with your Christmas Shopping? & Whats your favourite colour?
