Thrifted Moto Boots, Cardigans & More

Hello, hello.  Though December is upon us, fall lingers in Georgia with temps in the 60s and leaves stubbornly clinging to the trees. I love days like this; sunshine and slight breezes requiring nothing more than a cozy cardigan for my outer layer. Soon the cold will come, so I'll embrace these moments by stopping in between the busy schedule to check out a new blog spot. Haha. But seriously!

The picture spot may be new, but the rest of this outfit is not. Even the boots. They are new to me, but I'm happy to report that they are a $5.00 Clothes Mentor find. (Made me think about a new blogger friend of mine - Ronnie. She's always finding goodies at thrift stores!) You know what's funny? That's the very style I went in there hoping to find, or one of the styles I'm hunting. How often does that happen?? With little to no wear evident I excitedly laid down my $5.00 in CASH and bounced out the door. 

So here I am, shopping my closet because one new item can give new life to your closet, right? I know it's time to replace this dress. And I will. When I'm ready. ;0) In the meantime, I wear it proud. The hat was an Altar'd state clearance find from last year, the longer necklace was a gift from a sweet friend and the cardigan hails back from many Christmas' ago.

The ring and the earrings are my most worn pieces out of my bronze collection. They are light weight, backed by a guarantee and go with everything - yes please!

Here's a picture of my sweet photographer. He truly is a blessing. Last night he set up a spot for me on the sofa and told me to go watch the Hallmark channel. He would take care of the laundry. And he did. My heart completely melted.  Please slow down time, please slow down!!

Lastly, in my previous post I shared about my silly 25 days of Christmas trees tradition, where I get pictures in front of trees as I go about my days preparing for Christmas day. My favorite trees are the ones found in homes of my family and friends...and sometimes even acquaintances that I hope to get to know more.  In addition to my tree pictures, I thought I'd add a fun twist when I'm able and share my cupcake winnings as I go along! 

Some tree pictures are planned because I know I will be at a certain home, but the adventure comes when I wake up and have no idea where the next stop will be. There were times when friends texted and said, "Come to my house!". That makes it easy, but every once in awhile I take someone completely by surprise. Here's a few pics from my first few trees...

************

Day 1: My son goes to spend the night at his friend's house. 

Cupcake: Gingerbread

Day 2: I pick up eggs from a neighbor with chickens. This was my first time visiting inside. I met her sweet mom, chatted with her friendly husband and learned about homemade ornaments from when their kids were young, about 25 years ago. 

 Cupcake: Peppermint

 Day 3: Time for lunch and tree decorating at Mom-Moms (Grandma) - a yearly tradition.

 Cupcake: Turtle Cheesecake

Day 4: A Friend helps my son with his math homework. After a little math fun, I asked Ansley about her tree and learn that we share a love for all things sentimental. Her tree is brimming with memories. One of her favorite ornaments is a hand crafted ornament modeled after her and her husband's first home. How sweet is that!

 Cupcake: Very Vanilla

Well, that is all for today my friends. I hope you are having a wonderful, wonderful day during the most wonderful time of year!
