Outfit of the Chrismas Party - Plus Size Daily Outfit

Saturday night Jimmy and I went to a Christmas party at a new restaurant that is owned by the people who used to own the place Jimmy works for.  (Confusing, huh?)  It was mostly people who Jimmy works with and their significant others.  There was food, and music, (the D.J. played music that reminded me of a middle school dance.  Lots of Mariah and Brian Adams.) and dancing, and lots of great people.  

 You can see my beautiful friend/hairstylist, JeriLe, on the far right in the above photo. 

Doing the Macarena.  Seriously. 

This is what I wore:

Outfit Details:

Jeggings - Lane Bryant

Black Lace Back Boots - Avenue (two seasons ago)

Black Ruffled Shiny Blouse - Avenue

Grey Rouched Sleeve Sweater - Avenue (same one I wore to the wedding last week)

Necklace & Earrings - Avenue

Jimmy didn't really tell me much about the party.  I really just thought it was a bunch of people getting together to eat and chat.  I had no idea there was music and dancing until we were in the car on the way there.  I would have worn something a little more festive if I had known! 

Outfit of the Birthday party- plus new hair!

Today was my youngest nephew's third birthday party, so we went over to my sis-in-laws for a cookout and cake.

The birthday boy, Alex. He got so excited when he opened this toy!

Time for presents! (That's my almost five-year old nephew on the far left)

Jimmy acting silly with a creepy toy frog.

This was the gift Alex got from his parents. This thing is so cool. It has a real radio in it!

And now onto the outfit! It wasn't anything fancy.

I don't know why I look so stumpy in this picture. It might be because my husband is 6'1'' and I'm 5'4'', so the angle is a little skewed. Really this shirt isn't quite this long, and my legs aren't quite this short. : )

Outfit Details:

White Lace Camisole: Avenue

Floral top: Old Navy

Jeans: Avenue

Flip Flops: Avenue

Earrings: Avenue

Bangle: Avenue

I don't know if you can tell (I couldn't seem to get any good pictures!), but my hair is auburn now with coppery highlights. I had JeriLe cut it straight across instead of in my typical angled bob as well. Not very dramatic, but a nice change.

I got into a conversation about hairstyles and color today, and now I'm curious; Do you tend to change your hair based on the seasons? I know a lot of women go shorter and lighter in the summer, but I've never really been one to do so.
