Year 10, Day 25!

 YEAR 10, DAY 25! 

The End!


There was only a light dusting of snow, so it wasn’t *quite* a white Christmas... but those rarely happen around here. 

I saw this sweater in the store and new it had to be my final sweater of the year. It’s also lit up but you can’t tell in the picture since I’m outside. 

Thank you to everyone who has followed this blog for the last 10 years. I’m glad you still find joy in it! 

Merry Christmas! I love you!

Year 10, Day 24!

 YEAR 10, DAY 24!

Peace, Love, & Christmas


I saw this one online and immediately had to order it. I thought it was PERFECT to wear to Christmas Eve service... Even though our church isn't meeting in person.  My original vision was to pose in front of my sister's orange Volkswagon van, but it's in storage for the winter. SAD. So, enjoy yet another awkward selfie from my apartment. ICONIC. My mom always said she was a Flower Child, so I think she would have really loved this one. 


ONE MORE SLEEP UNTIL CHRISTMAS!

It's crazy that we're basically done! Goodnight!

Year 10, Day 23!

 YEAR 10, DAY 23! 

Grinch arms?!


 This sweater not only accentuates the curves of my annoying chubby body... but also makes me sweat profusely.  

This one has jingle bells on it that make noise every time I move, so my coworkers we probably really annoyed with me today!

The next time someone asks why I'm still single, I'll just show them this picture. 


A sweater that's a faux turtleneck vest combo with a bowtie that also looks too small for me? 
Honestly? Iconic.

Sooooo close to Christmas!

Year 10, Day 21!

Is anyone still reading this?

YEAR 10, DAY 21!

I'm feeling a bit Goofy today.


Full disclosure. I am aware that this isn't *really* a Christmas sweater, even though it was advertised online as a Holiday sweater. HOWEVER, I wanted it for my regular wardrobe, so I ordered it. The sweater I was originally planning on wearing today is lost somewhere in the mail... Somewhere in Michigan, perhaps. SO. Enjoy this 90s nostalgia sweater instead! 


A coworker told me today that he didn't like black Santa hats. Okay, sir. 

That's all, folks!

Year 10, Day 20!

 YEAR 10, DAY 20! 

Wear a mask. Hide your flask. 



This one was another sweater I got on clearance after Walmart last year.

 Today, an old man shook his finger at me. Immediately my anxiety kicked in and I was wondering what I did to him. He just said, "I really like that sweater." Thanks, man!

GUEST SUBMISSION

Sarah sent in this picture! 


She says, "Guest submission! It was ugly sweater day at their (Grace and Lan) school, and I decided to join them."


We're in the final stretch to Christmas! Only 5 days away!

Year 10, Day 19!

YEAR 10, DAY 19! 

Today is the 19th anniversary of Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. So, I think they best way to celebrate this film is to wear a Fellowship sweater! 


After 19 years, I am still obsessed with this series. I saw this sweater and I knew I had to have it! I will probably have a LOTR marathon soon.

Have a great day! I'm off to finish the last bit of homework for my grad school program!

Year 10, Day 18!

 YEAR 10, DAY 18!

Hello! I’m so excited about today’s sweater! As a huge Harry Potter fan, my friend bought me this as a gift, and I couldn’t be more thrilled! 


Every time I take a sorting quiz, I’m always a Slytherin. I’m not sure if I’m really ambitions or coming, but I identify mostly with the “resourceful” trait. I’m also  always proud to show my true colors. 


What House are you in? 

Have a great night!

Brennan stole the cookie from the cookie jar. 


I'm a bit thicker than I was last year... Thanks, 2020! However, I think we all need to cut ourselves some slack. We've made it through this hellish year. So, why not indulge in some Christmas treats this year? Maybe a few more than usual....

Year 10, Day 16!

Hello, friends! I hope you're having a great evening! 


YEAR 10, DAY 16! 

I know I said yesterday's sweater was my favorite so far, but this one might be even better. 

It even lights up!




Several years ago, I would have never even dreamed of wearing something like this. But I'm glad I'm finally becoming more and more confident in myself. 

That's it! Goodnight!

 YEAR 10, DAY 15! 

Ohhh, this one might be a new favorite! 

X-Men! 


I have been a HUGE X-Men fan over the years. I didn't grow up with animated series, but I did enjoy the movies. However, thanks to Disney+, I can now catch up on what I missed! 

Which X-Men character is your favorite? I think mine is Bobby/Iceman.

Have a great day!

Year 10, Day 14

YEAR 10, DAY 14!

Kendra and I always wore Star Wars Christmas sweaters to the opening of new Star Wars movies. While, there's no new movies in the foreseeable future, we decided to continue our tradition anyway!


I went with a Baby Yoda sweater and Kendra went with the classic Darth Vader look. Iconic. 


Although, I feel like my Baby Yoda doesn't quite look like baby... More like, Middle Aged Yoda. Oh well.

My friend Marcia made me a Baby Yoda mask, and I got this Baby Yoda beanie awhile back! 
This is my favorite part:


That's all for today!

*sings "Santa Body" to the tune of "Santa Baby"*


Oh, this is a fun one. My friend Marcia gave me a bag of sweaters she was getting rid of, and this was in the midst of them. I love it. Thanks, friend! 

Time to work on homework. Only one week left of my grad school program...

Stay safe!

Year 10, Day 12!

Good morning, folks! Happy Saturday! We are almost halfway through this blog this year. It's crazy! 

YEAR 10, DAY 12!

I'm starting the petition to cancel this blog and just turn it into an oversized sweater dress blog because this is one of the most comfortable things I have ever put on. I am actually obsessed.



Also, I'm not sure when llamas became a popular Christmas theme, but I did get this one on clearance after last year. It's perfect for lounging around the house!


 

I just remembered I have a bunch of errands to run so... So much for not leaving my house today. Oops. 

Have a lovely Saturday!

Year 10, Day 11!

Hello, friends! Today has been the looooongest day I can remember.  It was a good day at work, but time moved sooooooo slow. It was probably because we had our holiday lunch at work, so all the extra carbs made for a sleepy afternoon. 

YEAR 10, DAY 11! 

For today's ensemble, I went with a vintage sweater! I figured I'd wear something classically festive for a Friday.  


It's an almost 3D knit sweater. If you look closely, you'll see a red nose on Rudolf. 

Today's mask has angels on it! It was made by my friend Jennifer Boatman at Wonderfully Made



I hope you're still enjoying the blog! Have a fun, safe weekend!

Year 10, Day 10!

Short and sweet post today, kids! I have lots to get done this evening! 

YEAR 10, DAY 10! 

Snoopy is an all-time favorite, so today's sweater is special to me! 


In college, I played Schroeder in You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown, so my lovely friend Erin sent me this Schroeder/Snoopy mask as a gift! I also directed a production of SNOOPY!!! The Musical, so Snoopy is deeply rooted in my soul. 





That's all! 
Goodnight

Year 10, Day 9!

I don't know about you, but it's been a long day. I've drunk so much coffee today that I think I can hear colors... 

 YEAR 10, DAY 9

So no one told you 2020 was gonna be this way.... 👏👏👏👏

Your job's a joke*, you're broke, your love life's DOA!...


*Note to my employers: My job is not a joke. Those are just the lyrics to the theme song. 
My love life, on the other hand.... 

Anyway. 



I've seen several FRIENDS themed Christmas sweaters, and I've always wanted one. I finally found a good deal, and I couldn't pass up the opportunity! I just think it's so cute.

Check out my on-theme mask made by Marcia Thorsen Studio!


Which episode of FRIENDS is your favorite??


I'll be there for you again tomorrow!

Year 10, Day 8!

Hello hello hello! I hope you're having a fantastic Tuesday! I just woke up from a glorious accidental nap and I feel like an actual human being! Love that journey for me. 

YEAR 10, DAY 8! 

Today's sweater features, in my opinion, one of the best lines in the movie Elf! 


I had a Zoom call earlier this afternoon, and my friend Jay immediately said, "Well, that's the most obnoxious sweater yet..." Haha! I think it's cute (even if it's a bit too big and makes me look even chunkier than I already am...) 

What's cuter is that my dad took today's photo. So yes, I did find him! 

Today's mask isn't a Christmas mask, but I thought it kind of matched... Looking back at this photo, it doesn't match quite as well as I thought it did. Oh well. Keep wearing your mask folks!

That's all I've got today. See you tomorrow!

Year 10, Day 7!

 WOW! Sorry, I'm posting this way later than anticipated. In typical Monday fashion, nothing went according to plan. BUT I'm alive and well, so I'm counting my blessings. I hope your week is off to a tremendous start. 

YEAR 10, DAY 7! 

A Christmas Gorilla?? 


I'm not really sure I get it... BUT I did purchase it at Walmart after Christmas last year for only a couple bucks.... So.... worth it. 

The folks at work really appreciated it. It's a relatively new job, so this is the first time most have them have experienced my holly jolly. They are in for a treat the rest of the month, don't you think?

Year 10, Day 6!

Sundays tend to be a bit busier than I'd like. I have my church responsibilities in the morning, and I usually have a big homework assignment due on Sunday nights. So, I'm taking a very quick break to post today's sweater! 


YEAR 10, DAY 6! 

When it is December 6th and you haven't decorated your tree yet...


However, I did just buy this tree yesterday. I'll start decorating it tonight. If I have time, anyway. 

I love the beading on this sweater around the neck and bottom. It makes me feel delightfully elegant in a ridiculous kind of way. 

Okay. Back to homework. Only a few weeks left...

Love you, 

Brennan

Year 10, Day 5!

 Is anyone else behind on decorating for Christmas? I got my tree out but I haven't decorated it yet. That's on the agenda for this afternoon. I just have to finish cleaning first... The work is never done! What are you doing today? 

YEAR 10, DAY 5! 

Yeah, I don't know what this pose is.


This sweatshirt is so chaotic. So much happening!

 I think my favorite part is the bows and candy canes on the sleeves. 

Since I really don't plan on going anywhere, a mask isn't needed today. 

Plus, this sweatshirt is perfect for being comfortable around the house! 



I've got some serious 90s grandmother vibes going on today. 

Okay, I really need to get back to cleaning. Have a lovely day! 

xoxo,

Hey friends! Sorry for the delay. I had struggles prying myself out of a NyQuil coma last night and forgot my laptop at home, so I couldn't post on my lunch break like the last few days. But it's all good! It's Friday! We made it!

Llama need some more Christmas cheer! 


I've gotten so many compliments on this sweater today. It's so cute! 
But want to know the best part? The back! 


Llama butt!

Hi friends! 
I hope you are having a fantastic day! 


YEAR 10, DAY 3! 

I thought I needed a little space today... So peace out, Earth! I'm heading to the moon with Santa! 


I didn't realize that Santa was also an astronaut, but he is a man with many talents. 


I guess the Man in the Moon has been on the nice list and needs presents too! 





Today's mask is made by my dear friend Marcia Thorsen! Check out her Etsy shop HERE! 


That's all I got for today! See you tomorrow! 

Stay tacky,

Year 10, Day 2!

 Hello, friends! 

I'm furiously typing this blog post while I scarf down my lunch. No matter how early I get up, it seems I always end up running late for work. I wanted to get this posted before work. No such luck. But those of you who have been with me since the beginning know that I never post at a consistent time. Why change now?! 

YEAR 10, DAY 2! 

When I found this vest at a thrift store, it still had its original price tag on it. It originally cost over $40, but it was mine for a low low price of $2. You KNOW we love a good bargain! 


It doesn't look the greatest with my body type... But it's Christmas. Who cares?!



This mask was also made by Jennifer Boatman at Wonderfully Made! 


GUEST PICTURES

Shawn, one of my favorite people of all time, sent me these pictures from the school where he works. Yesterday, they all dressed up for the first day of December. Honestly? Amazing. Flawless. Superb. Showstopping. Beautiful. 






Now that seems like a fun group of people to work with! 

That's all I got today! See you tomorrow!
