"Adventure is worthwhile in itself."

-Amelia Earhart 

I think one of the things I miss most about being in college (and having a slightly rigorous schedule) is not having time for adventures. To be honest, having the time to visit new places is one think I am looking forward to after graduating....anyone want to join me? As odd as that might sound, I have come to look forward to the times I can visit a new place, or discover the perfect picture spot. Thankfully, I still get to revisit my favorite places each week to take pictures, but that is usually only because I quickly fit it into my day and don't get the time to actually cherish and soak it all in. Adventures are something that I have truly grown fond of and try to take the most of every opportunity I get to have them. 

With that being said, adventures call for "adventure worthy" outfits and nothing says a perfect and golden adventure like a warm plaid jacket to keep you cozy and a mustard barret hat. Warm and bright colors (like mustard) seem to be the perfect choice when exploring new places and exude a feeling of fresh ideas and new found inspiration. 

Do you like taking time for adventures?

I feel like I am slightly obsessed with festive fashion this Christmas season! Somehow every day when I wake up and reach for something to wear I always gravitate towards a Christmas sweater, plaid prints, Christmas print leggings (for around the house), holiday broaches (cats wearing Santa hats is a bonus), fuzzy Christmas socks, or forever something in the color red. Maybe its that this time of year makes me extra happy to dress up, or that I really do LOVE Christmas that much (which is true), but I think it also stems from the fact that Christmas passes so quickly each year that I wish to savor every moment like a Christmas cookie melting in my mouth. 

This dress has been the perfect Christmas staple because of its plaid print and red color. It is one of those staple dresses that is not only a classic cut, but easy to layer over different sweaters, collard blouses, and tights. I can't help but feel festive every time I slip it on and this ensemble was no exception. My dream is to find a green turtle neck jumper to wear under this dress to make it EXTRA "Christmasy" but sadly I have yet to find one. Thus, I settled for a red and grey color scheme with this look and I quote love how it turned out. 

The day that these pictures were taken was the weekend after my birthday which just so happened to be a weekend spent catching up with all of my good friends. We decided we needed to have a mini photo shoot and document our reunion since it had been nearly a year since were were all last together at one time. However, apart from the joy of seeing them all again and spending time together I can't get over how perfectly our group picture captures all of our different personalities and styles so effortlessly! They say that a picture is worth a thousand words and the picture of us all speaks volumes as to who each one of us uniquely is. 

Do you love festive Christmas fashion/styles?

What is you favorite festive staple?
