It might not surprise you to learn that I'm ridiculously excited for all things Christmas. By 'ridiculously excited,' I mean that I've literally been waiting since January to dress like a crazed escapee from Santa's workshop in Christmas Town. Well, never let it be said that I don't reach out and grab what I want with both hands! Today's outfit features my first ugly Christmas sweater of 2016, and it's an absolute gem.
This Target sweater literally has everything I ever could've wanted in a Christmas top: my favorite animal of all time, copious amounts of the exact shade of red I love, and an excellent pun! (A love of puns definitely runs in my family. I'm not on quite the same level as my dad and sister, but I'm a very good audience for all of their puns!)
Right before I saw this sweater, I had literally Snapped my sister something to the effect of 'I'm in Target but I'm not going to buy anything.' Clearly, I am a lying liar/powerless to resist the charms of a punny red sheep sweater. FYI: if you're thinking of ordering one for yourself, be advised that it runs quite large.
Since I'm short, I decided to wear this sweater over a comfy cotton wiggle I've had for years and years. I didn't want to cover up any of the graphic by tucking it in, and I've found that wiggles just look better with an untucked sweater than anything with a full skirt. Even though I was tempted to wear my new bright green tights, I opted for my opaque black leggings from Marks and Spencer and my favorite black boots, to keep the outfit from getting too busy.
This is one of the more toned-down Christmas outfits I've worn so far, which I suppose says a lot about my usual style, but I still felt extra festive all day!
What's your favorite place to buy Christmas sweaters? Now that I've tried this one, I'm hooked!

Ha, I do like that pun! I do puns too. One of my best friends in the world thinks he hates puns and calls mine stupid, but he's always crying/laughing so he's wrong ha. Good choice with the black tights! It lets the sweater speak for itself in regards to the Christmas stuff! XO
