Merry Christmas to all! I wish you peace and fashion! And many happy (and painless!) returns!
It’s been a bit of a tumultuous holiday so far. The Dotson Homestead was stricken by a nasty stomach virus, which Nate seems to have conquered (and by conquered I mean staved off), and I have been battling with for the last day. Have no fear, I will not fall!
I did not sleep much last night, though, and so I missed the Christmas church service this morning.
Last year, I wore this dress to the Christmas service. It was one of my ideeli Red Sale finds, and I was ever so eager to wear it! I usually have a difficult time deciding how to dress on Christmas morning. I want to be festive, but it’s usually cold. And plus, church. So I don’t want to be too festive. Sequins, say, would not be appropriate.
I think I may have missed the mark with this dress. It’s a little too…formal? Black? Cocktail-y?
Not that I feel the need to blend in with the charming old ladies and their poinsettia and snowman sweaters… But it just didn’t feel right. I could not wait to get out of it and back into my pjs.
The rest of Christmas is all about the pjs.
There’s just nothing like spending two entire days almost entirely in pajamas. The thrill is diminished ever so slightly by being sick, however. Being sick in pjs is just not quite the same as being happy and sloth-like in pjs.
There is still magic in the air, of course. It’s snowing here, the gentle, soft kind that looks like glitter in a snow globe.
Surrounded by family, (although not surrounded all that closely due to the threat of the stomach sickness), there are treats, and presents, and love, abounding.
It’s all very wonderful, and I’m off to enjoy it.
I hope you have a magical day!
**This is classic, pus it’s a part of my LBD Project, so it stays!
I Am What I Wore 
Sorry you’re not feeling well, but MERRY CHRISTMAS!! I think the dress is a keeper and I also think you should breathe on me when you return. A stomach bug would really work for me right now after the 2 days of total over indulgence I just had!
Same with Maria, sorry you’re not feeling well but Merry Christmas! I hope you get better soon. As for the dress, it’s nice and I think you should keep it, but don’t wear it to church for the Christmas service; maybe wear something more festive. 🙂
greetings, fellow flu sufferer. I didn’t make it into anything remotely pretty for xmas and stayed in pjs the whole day watching dexter while my family dined. merry merry, right? hope you are feeling better!
