I've always had a soft spot for polka dots

I've always been a procrastinator, and this holiday season is no different from any other - so Saturday I knew I needed to get on the Christmas shopping ball. There are two things that never fail to cheer me up: Nice weather and a cute outfit! So I decided to take advantage of the pretty day to take my pics outside before I headed to the shops :)

This outfit incorporates two great finds from Old Navy. I belted the Ruffle Keyhole Top and paired it with these Denim Leggings.  The top lets the girls out to play more than I usually go for but my trusty red cardigan tones it down a bit (also from Old Navy acutally). I've always gravitated towards black and red together, and I love the detail of the white polka dots and the ruffled neckline, which runs all the way around the neck of this top instead of just stopping at the shoulder. I like this so much I got it in two colors!

Some people may not like the fact that these jeggings have a thick, elastic waistband (like leggings ) rather than zipper and button closure like jeans, but I actually like it. It smooths the tummy area. These aren't just blue leggings with stitching though, these are actual demin; maybe even less stretchy than I expected. I really like these a lot, I'm thinking about going back to get a second pair. You can never have enough of staples like this in my option; they're perfect for tucking in jeans or with flats or heels. They're on the short side though - hitting right at the ankle on me, and I'm 5'5. Some of you taller ladies may find these only good for wearing with boots.

Throw on my go-to grey Target boots (they're on sale!) and some accessories, and I'm ready to go :)
