Good Morning Loves! 

Christmas is in 4 days, which means New Years Eve is right around the corner!! 

While my New Years plans are not set in stone yet, I am ready for any plans that may arise. 

I have been dying to see The Greatest Showman! An original musical based on the life of P.T. Barnum, celebrating the birth of show business.  If you are a reader of S&S you know that one of my favorite places to shop is Bloomingdales. This year their holiday catalogue had a Greatest Showman theme that was chock full of circus themed sparkle, razzle and dazzle featuring one of the movies stars Zendaya. When I saw this skirt...it had to be mine.  With the tulle and perfect amount of sparkle, paired with a Moto jacket it can suit almost any New Years function!

What are your plans, and more importantly, what are you wearing?

Gray is great. People think gray is a neutral, but I think it's such a moody, intense, dramatic and sexy color. It's very sleek.

Have you ever heard that quote,

 'When you think of someone, it means they were thinking of you first'?

It always seems when someone pops into my mind after a long period of time, suddenly they appear.

Does that ever happen to you, like you have conjured them or something? This happened to me yesterday. I was talking to my mom about an old friend who I haven't heard from or seen in years, and I got to work I received a FB message from that very person from another person's page, weird right? Seems he has been off the grid for some time and now after moving from place to place has settled with another friend on Portland, OR.  They had come across a photo of me from high school and had to reach out. What are the odds, that after so many years we would be thinking of one another at almost the exact moment?  

These are the things I love about life, the universe works in such mysterious ways. 

This sweater though! It is so soft and comfy, if I would live in it I could. I read recently that when women get dressed they should 'show their skinny'.  I don't think they necessarily mean 'skinny', but your best attributes rather. When I was younger it would have been my smaller waist, my friend Lorreen has legs for days, so that is her 'skinny'.  I find now that my best features are my shoulders and décolleté, which means, give me all the slouchy, off the shoulder sweaters! 

What is your skinny?
