Christmas Time is Here!

I plan on going to an Ugly Christmas Sweater Party. Apparently, it's a thing.

I looked in two different Goodwill stores didn't find ANY Christmas sweaters at ALL. Maybe Houstonians just don't wear sweaters so they don't have any to donate. I was specifically looking for one with a festive appliqué and lights .

I found this awesome specimen at Wal-mart for $15 in the "Plus Size" section. Apparently, we fat chicks like sweater-vests. Who knew?

I also bought a fabulous black mock turtleneck with holly printed on it (which is just too hideous to be seen in pictures, and makes my boobs look like they need their own area code!)

THEN while I was looking for Christmas lights for my windows. I found some Battery operated micro LED lights. They even twinkle!!! I sewed the lights down (making some good surgeon's knots) and even sewed in a little pocket for the battery pack.

And Voila! $20 later, Instant Christmas Ugliness!

If you haven't enough time to D.I.Y. (and you want to pay shipping) you can buy a very ugly sweater here and some with lights here! (Woah! They run from $60-$100!!) You can also look to Esty and buy something handmade.

Merry Christmas!
