Style File Friday: A Wonderful Life


Every year when we were kids we had to watch my Mom's favorite Christmas movie, A Wonderful Life.  As most things go when you are young I didn't fully understand it but loved it anyway.  Now I (think) I get it.  Often when life feels like it's whizzing by or I just can't get my barrings straight, which happens more around the holidays, I think of the sentiment found in A Wonderful Life.
What's better than watching the movie?  Seeing the play!  A Wonderful Life is being put on by the Children's Theater of Madison and opens tonight.  Don't worry if you have plans tonight, you have until December 23rd to see it.  For more info and to buy tickets go here.
Take a deep breath and enjoy the holidays while they are here.  After all your children will only be this old once, friends move away and well... life is short.


A Wonderful Life Outfit:
Don't Sweat It Sweater: $72
Blue Cords: $76
Beaded Necklace/Earring Set: $24
Knit Cap: $24
