“Ugly” Christmas Sweater

By Irene Gomes @PetitePlusMeow

Ok, so Ugly Xmas Sweaters are everywhere!!

Truth is, I prefer ‘cute’ over ‘ugly’ …. so, I picked up this Giant Rudolph sweater from Ardene ($20) to meet this need in my life :)

Kinda perfect for just throwing over a dress, and viola!  Instantly you’re festive ready outfit is complete.

This is one of my favorite dresses I picked up from Forever21+ earlier this year.  It’s perfect for swing dancing too …keeping the ‘girls’ locked n’ loaded AND covered up for close dancing … plus the criss-cross back cutouts are helpful for cooling down between dances.  To see it in other looks, click here.

Colin Firth **swoon** as Mark Darcy in Love Actually, in his classic xmas jumper

When I saw this sweater … it totally made me think of the handsome and adorable Colin Firth, in my favorite holiday movie: Love Actually…

The hope was to wear this sweater and attend The Gladstone Hotel’s 12 BEERS of Christmas! Sadly, tickets were soldout at the door…so a few of us ended up drinking and dining elsewhere in the area before returning for live music and swing dancing.
