Oh dear. I'm not a pun person.

I am, however, a bow person. Over the weekend, my friend asked how many I was wearing and I said how many I thought there were, and then she pointed out two more. And then I went home and put on my OTK boots, effectively adding two more to the outfit.

Of course, this outfit only has one bow. Just one I swear! I snagged this hair bow when ordering something else from J.Crew as a ride-along for the free shipping, and I love it so much I don't know how I got by without it. It's fun to dress up a simple pony like I'm wearing it here, but I've also been adding it cheerleader style to my messy bun when I've been working from home, and it gives me an amazing amount of joy. I can't even turn a cartwheel, but this is making all of my cheerleader dreams come true.

I also was pretty psyched to come up with this outfit combo, because I'm pretty sure I haven't worn this silky button down since we moved into our condo, oh, just two years ago. Usually getting dressed for me involves standing in my closet and going over all of the options, but this combination just came to me. Usually the outfits I dream up outside of the closet don't actually work, but this combo? A+

I also have to point out a couple new jewelry additions - both Christmas presents. The first is this sweet Paris charm necklace my grandma and aunt gave me for Christmas! It is definitely a splurge but it is so cute. Just a note if you're larger chested, this length necklace only works if you're wearing something with a high neckline, otherwise it gets lost. The second new piece of jewelry is this cute link bracelet Jeff gave me - it's actually a charm bracelet specifically for traveling! I just have the little airplane charm it came with, but I'm excited to get some more charms to remember our trips by. I saw that Carly has hers completely filled and it looks so cool!

Okay, that's enough rambles for now - enjoy your Tuesday!
