Hi everyone! This is my last week of work outfits for 2018! It seems a little surreal to be saying that but here we are! I'm definitely going to be putting together a Monthly Outfit Roundup for December but I feel like I should put something together for the whole year, too. What do you think? I know a lot of bloggers do a "Favourite Outfit" roundup but I almost want to do just a full-on collage of everything!

I wanted to show you the Long Line Open Front Sweater from Old Navy and the Faux Fur Bomber Cardigan/Jacket from H&M that I talked about last week. I styled the long cardigan with a short wrap dress in the first outfit, so you can see how the length of the sweater is the same as the dress, which is what I wanted. You can also see the fit is nice and close to the body, it's not one of those super oversized cardigans that I feel like we are seeing a lot of. I love those too, don't get me wrong, but for work I feel something with more of a classic fit is a better option.
The faux-fur bomber cardigan/jacket I styled with a tweedy-fringe mini skirt, also from H&M, and a simple white T-shirt from Old Navy. The jacket is really soft & cozy and fits TTS in my opinion. I'm wearing an XS and if I had tried it on in-store I probably would have tried on a S too just because the sleeves are a tiny bit short. But I'm very happy with it and I think it's super cute and on trend this season.

I'm so excited I got to wear these culottes with a chunky white cropped sweater for a 'winter white outfit'! I ordered this H&M sweater in the summer purely for this reason LOL. These culottes are not warm (because of the crepey material, and because they hang away from the body), so I couldn't wear them when it was too cold, but I also didn't want to wear them when it was raining because the rain drops/splashes from walking would be so obvious on the light grey colour. The only thing I'm not sure about with this outfit is the shoes - should I have gone for a grey or neutral shoe instead of black??

Yesterday was my last day of work for 2018 and today we are headed up to the Okanagan to spend the holidays with family! Usually we have a White Christmas, which I love, but they haven't had any snow yet so we'll just have to wait and see! We are coming back down to Vancouver on the 27th and it will be nice to have some time here to relax and see friends that have stayed in town, too. I always find the end of the year is a great time to organize my digital life, even though it's not very exciting it's something that needs to be done! I usually make a calendar for the New Year for Tony & I with photos from the previous year, so I'll be doing that, and we have some home organization stuff to tackle as well!
I'll also be popping back on here to share by Monthly Outfit Roundup for December as I mentioned above, as well as maybe a yearly recap and a fun closet tour! Be sure to follow me on Insta Stories if you want to see what I'm wearing & doing over the holidays :)
Thank you all so much for reading and I hope you have the happiest holidays!!

That faux fur bomber jacket is so cute and cozy looking! I love how you wore it for work! And your culottes are so pretty too with all the white tones you paired them with!
