Last week I attended my Rotary District Holdiay party.  A few days ahead we  were notified that it would be an “ugly sweater” party. If you’re not familiar with this trend, read about it here:

I don’t own an ugly holiday sweater, and don’t really like the vibe. While doing some holiday shopping I found a black sweater/jacket with an embellished pattern somehwat like a western shirt, so I went with that. It would have been perfect with dark wash bootcut jeans but I don’t own any, so I so wore black straight leg pants. Added brown pointy toe boots (western-ish), and dangly red berry cluster earrings.  I got compliments,  including one guy who said “that’s not ugly at all”. Of course I didn’t win one of the prizes for the various ugly sweater categories.    I also pulled out my old leopard print bag which I have not used in a few years. 

Overall the outfit was ok but not great, with  a slightly more slouchy/oversized look than I generally prefer. It's all good!  

p.s. the photos of the sweater and the outfit are not the best but I was in a rush etc.
