Outfit and A Cheat Treat

This is what I wore to our Church Relief Society Christmas Party.
Relief Society is a Women's organization in our church.
It was a Spiritual Evening to help us prepare to Celebrate Christmas
and it's TRUE meaning.

The Emebellished sweater was another Kohls find.
Clearance about $10.
The glittery black flats Target about $10
Maurices jeans $12

Bracelets: Candies for Kohls Clearance about $4
Ring: shop in the mall about $2

I'm starting to realize that I wear a lot of gray and black.
A pop of red or turquoise would be great for this outfit.
I could've added some color with earrings, shoes, bracelets, or a handbag.

Onto THE CHEAT TREAT.
We were supposed to bring our favorite Christmas Treat.
I heart Christmas sugar cookies! But didn't have time to make them.

So, here is the Cheat in my Treat.

I went to Kroger and bought a container of 18 plain sugar cookies $3.

Frosted them with a can of Buttercream Frosting.

Added some Christmas sprinkles from my cabinet.
Added some Christmas toothpicks I picked up at Hobby Lobby.
Reg. 1.99 a pkg. on sale for 50%off.

Voila! A platter of yummy and cute Christmas sugar cookies that were quick and easy.
My Cheat is that I sometimes buy items at the super market bakery
and embellish them to make them my own;)

If anyone asks I do fess up to the Cheat.
I am honest. I just don't like to spend a lot of time in the kitchen;)

Have you ever made a cheat treat?
Fess up and Share with me.

Outfit Inspired by Christmas Tree

Our Family Room has a lot of blues and silvers for Christmas.
I let the color scheme from my Christmas Decorations
Inspire the color palette for this outfit.

Gray Lace Dress: $18 from Kohls
Gray Boots: $25 from Target
Black Blazer: $30 Super Sale I LOVE how tailored this
jacket looks and fits. A great investment for a Wardrobe Staple.
Black Leggings, Scarf, Black Bracelets and sparkly earrings: I've had forever and a day.
Flower Pin : $3 Vintage
Ring: Gift

I really don't know that I would've thought about putting a bright blue with gray and black.
I really was Inspired by my Christmas Tree and Decorations.

Now that I've tried it ....I REALLY LOVE IT!

What do you think about this color combo?

Look around your home and see what colors and textures inspire you.
You just might be surprised:)

I LOVE this pin. It goes with so many things.
I've even pinned it to a headband and worn it in my hair.
Pins are great like that. They can be worn so many different ways.

Lastly, my FAVORITE gray boots! I seriously get so many
"Where did you find those?"
and
"Those are too cute."

Target $25!! I'm telling you, Target rocks when it comes to great Clearance
deals on shoes and boots!!
They have these boots again this year for $45.

Let me know what you think about this color combo.
Also, where do you look for color inspiration? I'd love to hear it:)
