Month in Review: December 2013

Tuesday, December 31, 2013

December- that "Most Wonderful Time of the Year"- has already come and gone! It's been a very merry one here on Never Fully Dressed and we hope it was for you and yours too. So here's to looking back- and then looking forward- as we ring in the New Year!

Merry Outfits

Merry Movies
This month we continued the tradition of sharing classics perfect for the Christmas season (or, let's be real here- any time of the year! Great films are always watchable) with It's a Wonderful Life  and Judy Garland's hit Meet Me In St. Louis. The Cinema Style series showed off the contrasting styles of sisters in  A White Christmas and The Thin Man gave some New Year's Eve inspiration.

Merry Plans
This month has been a busy one with many bitterly cold days! I've been continuing to find my feet with a new job (I now run a computer lab at an elementary for those who were asking. Because it is a school, you will almost never find me talking much about it in order to respect children's privacy). But there was still time for many of the events of the season- we shopped (maybe you did too, using some of the Gift Guides for Men, for Women, for Mothers, for Last Minute Stocking Stuffers, or shopping for the Greater Good?) and decorated our tree! We also found time to visit many of our dear friends! It is so funny; up until they arrived for our wedding last June so many of my friends I hadn't seen in over a year and now I've seen them all again in less than six months! A day out with one friend, breakfast with others, a dinner party for yet more.  We even attended a Christmas party for The Boy and I met lovely new people too (And it was relaxed enough I wasn't all nerved up and New People. A holiday miracle!).  I am so blessed to know so many to love.

    1. You B point made me laugh. I put all of this in the list randomly, but think there is some sort of irony to this now that you mention it.
