Happy Friday everyone! Is anyone else’s December just flying by? My shopping is only about half done… we don’t even have a tree yet…but one thing I do have covered is holiday party dresses. Too bad, we have just one party to attend!
So far, the $49 black and gold ruffle mini I’m wearing above has been my favorite. It’s definitely office party appropriate, which I know is where most people need party dresses for. I also love that it’s something you can continue all year round.
I also have a try-on of some of these styles in my Instagram stories today! Check it out here. Also here’s a link to the headband I’m wearing in the video!
Shop the Post: Holiday Party Dresses
Another big thing happening this weekend is I’m running in my half marathon this weekend! This is the third one I’ve done, but my first in 7 years so I’m feeling a little nervous. The race I’m running in sounds really fun; they have carolers and Christmas music along the route and gingerbread cookie stations. Wish me luck!
