Happy Holidays to everyone! I hope your days are filled with joy! I am going to take a few days off from blogging, but I will be back after Christmas.

Well, folks, another year has come and gone on this here blog! I am putting Clarabelle on a break until the New Year. It has been a great year, indeed! This blog has grown SO much in 2011, I am so proud and grateful to all my readers.
To close out the year, I wanted to quickly review all the outfits I wore in 2011. This post is proof that, when I do go shopping, I shop almost exclusively at H&M — and I really like repeating outfits, haha.

This year, I had a $20 budget for my holiday dress.
I decided on the same idea for the holidays as I had during wedding season. I plan to wear my holiday dress to every holiday function I have. Luckily, I found this white number at H&M for $25 (only five bucks over my budget!). So I got it — it’s perfect for every holiday function and I haven’t looked back.
I am also kicking around the idea of wearing this number to my rehearsal dinner. But that might be taking my frugality a bit too far.
Dress: H&M | Tights: Nine West | Shoes: Steve Madden | Belt: Borrowed from a friend | Necklace: Macy’s | Other Necklace and earrings: Delia Langan

I am back, y’all! I had a lovely holiday, but I missed all of you so very much. It feels fantastic to be blogging again.
I spent my Christmas and New Year’s in Virginia with my family. It was a grand time. I compiled a photo diary of the last few weeks below.

I will be blogging a bit more sporadically, if at all, until the New Year.
I wish you and yours the happiest of holiday seasons!
May your days be merry and bright

Every Christmas Eve, the Brown Family goes to church. It’s only fittin’ that we should spend the entire second half of Christmas Eve celebrating Jesus’ birth in church. We’ve done it that way for years.
The question always remains: “What do we where there?”
Finding something age appropriate, fashionable, and conservative is always a challenge for any fashionista going to a church service.
Here’s some rules I swear by when finding proper church attire:
Here’s what me and my baby sister, J wore to Christmas Mass.
Skirt and top from H&M, American Apparel Stockings and Chinese Laundry boots
Tunic and leggings from Forever 21… I have no idea where she got the rest. I’ll ask her later.I hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas! I missed all of you on my blog vacation and can’t wait to visit your blogs today!
