outfitting: merry christmas!

H&M Black Strapless Dress w/ Bow Belt:

- The tulip shape of the dress' bottom half and the bow belt makes me look slimmer, where my waist is cinched to give off an hour glass figure. Can't be that! The dress can be worn with other belts or even with a shirt or tee underneath for a more casual look. Worn as is, this dress is perfect for our black and white Christmas!

A Merry, Merry Christmas



Our family always does a color themed Christmas. Last year it was blue and this year it was supposed to be pink, but we had a hard time looking for pink ornaments. When we saw the silver and black penguin ornaments at Target, we knew we had to have a black and white Christmas tree. Besides the penguins, I also love the feathered bird ornaments. I even saw a similar black and white tree in Wilhelmina's office on "Ugly Betty." See, it's only good enough for the Nguyens, if it's good enough for Mode.

With the exception of Megan, we're all wearing H&M dresses. That's what happens when they an H&M is close to my apartment. Everyone who celebrated Christmas Eve and Christmas morning adhered to our black and white rule! After midnight mass and opening up all the presents, we made graham cracker houses. Seriously, our Christmas will always be better than yours!
