Ben and I went and did Christmas pictures with our friends Noelle and Spencer Blaylock. We went down by the Missouri River, and had a lot of fun! There are a lot trees and parks down by the River. We were hoping for more snow, but most of it melted. At least we managed to find one patch of snow~

Everyone once in a while, I end up with a picture that really seems to capture the essence of who I am. This is one of them. 🙂 Ben took it when I was just standing, looking out over at the river. It really was such a beautiful day.

Don’t Ben and I make such a cute couple? I really love this picture. I think it is very sweet. I realized that we hadn’t had a kissing picture since we got married. So of course we needed to remedy that!

And here is a picture of Ben and I right by the river. The sky was so blue and beautiful! It really brought out the blue in water. 🙂

My Outfit Deconstructed:

• Faux Fur Vest -$3, Thrifted (Beautees, JCP)
• Jeans -$7, Thrifted (Mossimo, Target)
• Green Shirt -$19, T.J. Maxx (Chaus, Nordstrom, orginally $40)
• Black Leather Boots -$5, Thrifted
• Green Bracelet -$9, Old Navy

I normally don’t spend that much on shirts ($19), but I fell in love with this little green beauty and decided to take it home with me. I personally feel this outfit would look better with a belt, but that’s okay. It’s still a pretty cute outfit. 🙂 Maybe next time!

I actually adore the little white fur vest. I found it at my favorite thrift store, Seeds of Hope, and had to bring it home with me. I noticed that one of my favorite bloggers, the Fashion Huntress, had a blog post wearing a similar vest, called Glitz and Glam. So I had to share it with you. 🙂

 

And here’s Noelle and I by the river. Isn’t it so pretty out? I really love this area. Bismarck is definitely growing on me. 🙂 It has a lot of beauty, and a lot of charm.
