Holiday Style: The Holly and The Ivy

Here are a couple of work outfits from last week in keeping with the Christmas spirit. I'm really into this burgundy color for my variation on classic red (above) and I'm loving these new polka-dot tights for a bit of holiday whimsy (below). 

 Now that finals are over, I can tackle this huge stack of papers that need grading, and then I can devote a little more time to the blog as we close out the year. I've got to be honest -- with all the beautiful clothes out and on sale for the holidays, and being so close to the end, I'm more tempted than ever to cheat on the no-new-clothes challenge. But I will stay strong to the end (all the while making a wishlist and checking it twice...)
