Being Festive Is Hard

Worn: December 23, 2012

I wore this to church the Sunday before Christmas, on the basis of this being the one time of year I thought I could get away with wearing red and green together. I think it worked a little better than the last time, a couple of years ago. I wore a green polo, a red sweater vest, and khaki pants. My mother gave me a funny look, so I said, "It's Christmas!" She responded, "And you're a tree!" To make matters worse, Hazel arrived a few minutes later and agreed with her.

The red top is my first purchase directly resulting from seeing it on a blog. The price was a bit steep for me, so I held out until I found it on eBay for less than half of retail. I'm very pleased to see that the color is identical to that of my tights.
