My Christmas Wishlist

Deck the Hall with Glitter and Lace Fa Lala Lalalala

Tis the season for gift giving and laughter to be shared among family and friends. Thanksgiving is not even a week and I already have a detailed list of which gifts I want to get for each and every one of my family and friends. Like the age old saying, "it's better to give than receive." I created a list of all that I am asking for Christmas from my family and friends.

Winter Essentials

CHRISTMAS IS COMING, CHRISTMAS IS COMING! 

Start lighting the wood in the fire place, enjoy a sizzling cup of hot chocolate (with extra marshmallows of course), and turn on ABC Family for their 25 Days of Christmas specials. A few of my favorite things in the Christmas season is a tie between plaid long-sleeved shirts, booties (which must ALWAYS be paired with lace socks), and vests. Of course no outfit is complete without my staple pearls (earrings, necklaces, bracelets; there is never such a thing as "too many pearls").

Essential #1 is this J.Crew Oxford cobalt, red, and emerald green shirt. It retails for $75, but I never suggest paying "actual retail price." I am a firm believer that any prepster on a budget could always find a similar style from either J.Crew Factory, Old Navy, or Forever 21. 

 

Essential #2 is any colored vest to spice up your BLS (basic long sleeve). Whether it is Patagonia fleece or Old Navy quilted down vest, each southern belle should have a few stockpiled in their closet for those days when the sun ain't shinning. 

Essential #3 is no other than a plaid blanket scarf (#basicaf). I purchased mine from an inexpensive website called SheIn (basically with this website you're one step away from your laptop contracting a virus, because its that SKETCH). Southern Belle decided to purchase a visa gift card, so her credit card information wouldn't get stolen. 

Winter in Florida is more like a judgement call whether the weather that day will be like the Sahara desert going through menopause or antarctic on Christmas day. Never the less, a southern belle can never be caught dressed below a 10 out in public.
