My family has only one tradition. I'm not sure if it's a family tradition or a Czech cultural tradition, but on Christmas eve we all get dressed up, eat fried fish and open presents.
Growing up celebrating Christmas on Christmas Eve made believing in Santa a little bit difficult, but it's honestly a tradition that I love. And to this day, I protest when someone tries to change things in the slightest. I know it's something I'll have to compromise on when I have a family of my own - but until that day, I'll do it my way (imagine me singing this a la Frank Sinatra - arms spread wide... you get the idea).
And, that thought was my approach to dressing for Christmas this year.
I stuck with the tradition colours, but spiced it up by introducing the dogs.
Surprisingly, my Babi (aka: Bubs) LOVED the look, but she is quite fashion forward for an 82-year-old Czech lady. She's ditched the gold shoes (seriously, go to Prague, they ALL wear gold shoes), but not her keen eye.
I'm home for one more week and I intend to make the most of the lack-of-snow by walking the dogs in the forest, and having tea with my beloved Bubs.
How are you rounding out the last few days of 2011?

You look beautiful- I love the red pencil skirt and the printed top (when I first read 'introducing the dogs' it took me a min to realize that was the print on the top!) Christmas traditions are wonderful- we're the opposite- no presents opened on Christmas Eve!
ReplyDeleteI love the print!! Great outfit. For Christmas my extended family gets together and we open presents and have a feast at midnight. But then the presents from mom and dad come Christmas morning :) It's like an extended Christmas, it rocks!
ReplyDeletei love the colors! and that pencil skirt look great on you!
