It has been a crazy couple of weeks around here. We are trying to wrap up a home renovation and get ready for the holidays. I do not know where to focus my attention and it is exhausting. Because of the work being done on our home, we decided to put our Christmas Tree and stockings in the den instead of the living room. The den is much smaller so we had to buy a smaller tree. I have to say it was nice not having to struggle like we usually do to get the tree instead and set in the stand.
After a long weekend of work, tonight we headed to my in-laws house for dinner. The temperature dropped once the sun went down so I was able to wear my new favorite puffy green vest from Palm Place. It dawned on me last Friday that I have not given my J Brand skinny distressed jeans much love since I met the American Eagle Tomgirl Jeans. The J Brand jeans are great but I am really into the slouchy fit of the Tomgirl jeans. I forced my mini-me to take a few pictures before we left for dinner. He was a semi-good sport. What you cannot hear is the nail guns in the next room as the wood floors were being installed. Yes, working on a Sunday is what happens when you are a month past deadline!

Doing anything while renovating is a nightmare, and super stressful! We had a baby while renovating!! It will make a good story once you are done and you will feel like superwoman for getting through it. i am loving your tree bow! I am now going to make mine bigger!!

Having a baby while renovating would be crazy! I cannot imagine. We renovated our kitchen two years ago through the holidays and that was way worse than this! The positive thing is that I will have a new master bedroom and bathroom when we are finished :)

Girl, renovating during the holidays is crazy! Props to you for doing it! Love your jeans in those pics too, they look so cute and comfy!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It will be worth it in the end :) Those jeans are JBrand from last year and they are comfy. Stretchy too which is nice.

The tree looks great and i love that olive colored puff vest.
ReplyDeleteThank you!!!
DeleteI don't think you can go wrong with a cute, puffy vest. I have a reversible one myself; one side is black & the other is floral. I like your green one though. :]

I love this home tour. Looks so cozy and warm! Not to mention, those stockings are so cute. Are they home made?
