My favorite pattern to mix as of late is plaid and leopard, oh yes.  Actually I will wear these leopard booties with anything and everything because I am so in love.  They cost a pretty penny, but I think they are so worth it.  Especially because I can wear them all day and they are still comfortable!  And I can dress it up or down and I consider leopard a neutral you can pretty much pair with anything.  I consider this still part of my holiday outfit series, as I feel like most things plaid and red can work for the holidays.  It’s casual yet has a touch of dressy, could work for lounging around the house or date night.

Can you believe that Christmas is less than a week away?!  It’s sooo crazy!  I must say that life back at work is kicking my butt and in the next 2 months we have 4 sets of visitors coming to visit and stay at our house, I have 2 blog conferences to attend, and Austin’s 3rd birthday party to plan too!  Needless to say, I may be a little sporadic on here, but I’ll at least post 1-2 times a week still.  🙂
