Christmas Tree Skirt and ABBA Blouse

'Twas the night before Christmas...

...and off to work I went this morning! As expected, it was a really quiet day, with maybe 15-20 people around (in an office of 150+ people).

• Blouse - CAbi, consignment; last seen here in May - yar, I'm a pirate
• Skirt - vintage 70s, handmade, thrifted; last worn here in July with more ruffles
• Shoes - Two Lips, thrifted; last seen here in November with a whole lotta pink

I loved this ensemble...I only wish I'd gotten to wear it for more of the day. Around 11:30am, my boss came around and told me to close up. I had to wait for a delivery, and shut down the office, and drop off supplies at our other office, but here we are, 2pm and I'm home! Woot! I have the best boss ever.

The blouse is very "Dancing Queen" ABBA-esque, especially the large floofy cuffs, which drag through everything. Into the wash it goes!

It's really only appropriate that my last outfit before Christmas is nearly literally a tree skirt. Can't you picture this around the base of a tree? But it's really a skirt, no fear.

The stuff:

Comfy shoes, and funky golds.

Pokey bling:

One of my coworkers demanded to know where I'd gotten this bracelet and earrings - the Museum of Modern Art in NYC in 2007, in the gift shop on clearance. They are various star/snowflake/compass shapes, gold-plated and very pokey. Did you notice that I wore the bracelet as a necklace? I safety-pinned it underneath the collar of my blouse. I'm so clever.

• Belt - thrifted
• Earrings/bracelet - Museum of Modern Art, NYC gift shop

Vizzini was hovering around this morning, so I grabbed him for a picture.

"Om nom, earring..."

Merry Christmas to my dear friends and readers! Wishing you all a safe and happy holiday!
