Chelsie Style – Christmas Decorating, etc.

I really like these tights and people always ask me where I got them. The short answer: Winners. The longer answer: they were on clearance and missing their packaging, so I have no idea what make they are (also no internal tags), but they are so comfy and I adore the print. I am also loving these shoes/booties, which can not be seen very well. I found them while on our road trip through New Hampshire this summer.

Back in the summer we found this french door which we put at the top of the stairs from the side entrance (which we use as our main entrance). Before it was a solid door and with the french door the hallway and main floor seems a bit more open and airy. We painted the entrance a light green yellow (Sarah and Millie might notice the change). I found the above mirror at a garage sale for $5 this summer. It was painted navy and I repainted it white. It is quite solid and heavy and placing it in the hallway makes everything look bigger as well. It is also pretty and I can see it from the couch in the living room.

We got some parsons chairs for the dining room table, and I’m not completely sold on them yet. We also hung some ornaments on the pendant lamp and they look pretty. You can’t see them so well in the picture though.

And we decorated this weekend! The little tree is up, and I hung up purple-magenta and green bulbs in the windows (I bought them on clearance after last Christmas). I broke two of the green ones in the process. Initially I had bought these ornaments to hang on the big maple tree in front of the house, but when I realized they were glass I thought the better of it. With all the wind I think they would get knocked around too easily and I would worry about them breaking or exploding shards of glass on pedestrians. Lawsuits would ensue…

Is anyone else watching The New Girl? Is that show awesome or what?! Have you decorated for Christmas yet?

  1. I love to see how you’re decorating both for year-round and seasonally. The re-painted mirror and french door in your house’s entrance way are inspired. This post is getting bookmarked for future consultations!

    Love the tights and booties combo, too.

  2. I’m so jealous of your tights! They look fab! Also, the sweater dress is way too adorable.

    I’m digging the mirror! Way to be crafty and make it fit your decor.

  3. You have an eye for sure Miss Chelsea. When I eventually have a house please come and teach me your ways. It’s beautiful!

  4. The idea that one can wear a sweater *over a sweater dress* has totally blown my mind. I was going to donate a sweater dress that I never could figure out how to style, but I might have to rescue it and see if this life-altering revelation of sweater-on-sweater makes me like it any better. Yay inspiration!

    Though with sweater, sweater dress, and sweater-tights, are you wearing sweater-on-sweater-on-sweater? It is cozy and adorable. (And the word ‘sweater’ looks utterly bizarre, now.)

    • I was thinking of wearing a blazer over the sweater dress as well, to kind of dress it up, but also make the blazer less former, and dressed down.

      Yes, I believe this is the triad of sweaters!
