Last week I was a bit weepy. I read 2 blog posts and cried.

This was one and the other was simply an excerpt from The Velveteen Rabbit which gets me every single time.

I know.

Pa-the-tic.

It got me thinking about what else makes me cry;

1. SPCA commercials (really anything that shows animals in distress)

2. The Velveteen Rabbit – book

3. Charlotte's Web – movie and book

4. Love Story – book

5. Flowers for Algernon – book

6. Up! – movie

7. The Butterfly and the Diving Bell – movie (extremely good movie, if you haven't seen it…do!)

8. Babe – movie

9. Weddings

10. Anytime I see someone else cry I often feel I need to join in (just to be polite of course)

So there. You can see what a big cry baby I am.

Let me know I'm not weeping all on my own here. What makes you cry?

Do you need some inspiration for Christmas party outfits ideas? Me too.

I’m still trying to figure out what to wear for this Christmas dance we have on the weekend. I know everyone will be doing the typical thing at a Christmas dance…very fancy and lots of red. Since I really don’t own any red (other than my new fantastic cape that doesn’t really count because that is outerwear) I’ve been style brainstorming a bit and came up with this…

Top & Belt – from some little dress shop last year, Shoes – Me Too!, Skirt – Anthropologie

inspired by looks like this… I tried to create my own version from pieces I already own.

I like it but I still secretly wish the top was all beaded or sequined.

One thing I know…I want sparkle.

Ideally I want colour too.

But sometimes we can’t have everything we want in life.

This might be one of those times.

Do you have a special Christmas evening outfit planned for an event or gathering? If so are you planning on wearing red or sequins?

Or are you just planning on curling up on the couch in your pjs with a bottle of wine utterly exhausted from all the hype, unrealistic expectations and running around at this time of year?
