Blogmas Day Nine: Christmas Party OOTD

Welcome To Blogmas Day Nine Guys!



We recently had our work Christmas party, and personally, I always find them super stressful. First, trying to get ready and look halfway decent while finding something warm enough to not freeze in the minus thirty below Celsius weather that we usually have at this time of year. Second, being in a banquet room with hundreds of people all crowded together at once, and Lastly, trying to socialize with everyone you possibly can without accidentally ignoring someone or not finding the time to actually eat, all while usually being exhausted from a long day at work preceding the party.

Lol does anyone else find their work Christmas party stressful? Or am I just possibly overthinking this?

However, I thought it would be fun for today's Blogmas to do an OOTD (or outfit of the day) post on what I ended up wearing to the party. I didn't end up purchasing anything new for the party, as I found a dress in my closet that I thought was perfect, and since I love seeing other people do these posts, I thought I'd go ahead and do my own today.








This particular dress is one of my all time favorites, and is actually a Betsey Johnson dress that I bought a few years back to wear to my engagement party. I love how it's a classic cocktail dress, but the flared skirt adds a little bit more fun to the average dress, and the long sleeves make it much more suitable for a winter party dress in Saskatchewan. 

Unfortunately, since it is an older dress it's no longer available, but the Betsey Johnson website does currently have several other cocktail dresses that I'm currently loving, and that I think would be perfect for a holiday party: these two are my favorites here and here.



And since it was freezing outside the night of the party, I knew normal tights would not work for me, and so I went with my all time favorite Ponte Pants


And lastly, I decided to pair it with my favorite holiday booties, instead of normal heels, and I was so happy with how the look came together overall. 

My booties are by Sam and Libby, and I purchased them back when Canada still had Target. These are very similar however, and I think would be a great addition to any holiday dress. :)



Thanks so much reading guys. I had so much fun sharing an OOTD post for something different on my blog today, and I look forward to seeing you all back here tomorrow for Blogmas Day Ten.

Della and Darby by Susannah B. Lewis Review

  Happy Monday Friends :) I pray today finds you all doing well, and I'm so thankful you decided to stop by my little corner of the internet. My husband and I actually have this week off of work for a much needed holiday, and I'm excited for the many fun things we have planned. Aside from the fun things, I'm honestly thankful to have some extra time to get my house back in shape, and to get more organized for Christmas. I also hope to have lots of time to curl up with some great reads, and I recently had a chance to read one of my most anticipated 2023 releases! Earlier in the year, I read my first novel by Susannah B. Lewis, and I couldn't have loved it more. It was definitely one of my favorite reads of this entire year, and I've been looking forward to reading her next release ever since. If you'd like to check out that review, you can do so using the link below: Bless Your Heart Rae Sutton Otherwise, keep on reading down below for today's full review. De...

First Line Friday: Courting Mr. Emerson

Happy Friday Everyone :) Since it is Friday, I'll once again be participating in First Line Friday which is hosted by Hoarding Books .  For this week, I'm going to be sharing the first line from Melody Carlson's newest book, Courting Mr. Emerson. About The Book: When the fun-loving and spontaneous artist Willow West meets buttoned-up, retired English teacher George Emerson, it's not exactly love at first sight. Though she does find the obsessive-compulsive man intriguing. Making it her mission to get him to loosen up and embrace life, she embarks on what seems like a lost cause--and finds herself falling for him in the process. A confirmed bachelor, George vacillates between irritation and attraction whenever Willow is around--which to him seems like all too often. He's not interested in expanding his horizons or making new friends; it just hurts too much when you lose them. But as the summer progresses, George feels his defenses crumbling. The quest...

First Line Friday: The Joy of Falling

Happy Friday Everyone :) I hope you've all had a great week, and that you've had time to curl up with some great books. This week, Lindsay Harrel's newest book released, and I loved it when I had the chance to read and review it. I'm excited to feature it for this week's First Line Friday post which is hosted by the lovely ladies over at Hoarding Books. The Joy of Falling by Lindsay Harrel: About The Book: Eva and Angela must learn to live again. One step at a time. It has been fifteen months since Eva and Angela lost their thrill-seeking husbands in a scuba diving accident. Both women are trying to navigate their way through the grief, but neither one is making much progress. Angela is barely making ends meet, angry at her husband for leaving her to raise three children on her own. Meanwhile, Eva is stuck, unable to move forward after losing the love of her life and her source of inspiration. But then Eva gets a life-changing phone call. Befor...
