fashion files & random thoughts

 

Happy Tuesday, friends! I'm talking about more things I'm saying yes to this week. I'm also linking up with Amy for the weekly Fashion Files and Joanne for Tuesday Talk. I'll jump right in!

And though I've gotten dressed every single day, these are all the pictures I have from the last couple of weeks. I've loved and worn that denim shirt several times; one night when I went out with my co-workers, I had that as a jacket to be worn over a black dress. I've worn that burgundy MOCO top from last year several times, and the royal blue one is new. The vest is from last year, an Amazon find, in the color "apricot". Check out Mallory and me twinning Sunday night! Hers is from TJ Maxx, mine is from Amazon. I love it and have worn and washed it several times; every time I wear it, someone stops me. 

And now for the random thoughts portion of this post....

It was great being back at work yesterday! I've missed the routine of being at home and then going there from here. I missed the five minute drive last week as I drove twenty minutes from the hospital to work. I'm grateful I only had to do that twice, on Monday and again on Wednesday. I'm also grateful that I haven't had to miss pay yet! I've blown through my sick days, but I accrue new ones each month, so that's encouraging.

Speaking of being grateful, tis the season! I ordered a new journal for this season, because I've been writing so much lately and am flying through journals again. I'm glad that I have this as an outlet! I write about my days, lists are in there, things that are good that I'm grateful for, and I've been writing out Scripture again for the second month in a row. I love writing! It's therapeutic for me, both here on the blog and on actual paper. 

I have a love language, and it's being seen and heard. Someone likes to spoil me with little things every time I see him, and these were a surprise he brought to me in the hospital on Thursday. I love pens, and these are amazing! He bought me a whole box.

This is a better picture of the brand name; he bought me the black ink ones, which is what I prefer. I love the fine tip! 

And just like that, it's all Christmas, all the time. I've decorated my house, I'm watching the movies, listening to the music, and buying into all the things holiday related. I am here for every bit! 

Here's a teensy tiny little sneak peak. For the first time in years, I didn't do a "come on in" fall home tour. I have been busy living life. I will definitely do a Christmas one, though!

Do you have anything random today that you want to share? Any outfit tips and tricks I need to know about? I need some shoes soon...I didn't say that earlier, but it's time to update my shoe situation. I seriously need to clean my closet out too! It got out of hand while Graham was in the hospital; I was just throwing things around like crazy. Ha! Thanks for being here to read today, friends. I'll see you back here tomorrow! Love to all.
