winter blues

hi, friends!

it’s beginning to look a lot like christmas, am i right? i’m always a little slow to get into the holiday spirit but i’ve been listening to my fave kacey musgraves’ new christmas record and it’s helping me be less of a grinch for sure. i even bought a beautiful record player from victrola that i’m so excited for (my first!) because i’ve been wanting one for the past year or so. i’ve linked it here so you can check it out in case you’re on the market! i got kacey’s album on vinyl and there’s something about hearing holiday music in that format that makes feels festive and nostalgic. i always get a bit melancholy this time of year (seasonal depression is real, y’all), but i honestly prefer sad songs so it’s not really a bad type of melancholy. it’s more just reflective and a bit sad the year is ending. in any case, i’m definitely feeling the holiday spirit right now even if it’s not the usual “joy and cheer.”

anyway, i hope y’all like this comfy-casual look this week. i’ll be sharing some more festive holiday looks next week and the next to inspire you for new year’s eve, but this week is something more laid-back for any casual get togethers you have coming up or just some general style inspiration. it’s no secret i love me some distressed denim, and i was instantly enamored of this sweater between the shape, the color, and the amazing zipper detail on the back. i like to give myself some height when i wear boyfriend jeans, so i jazzed it up with these western boots.
