Am I the only person who didn’t know how much people hate The Polar Express? I don’t know if this has always been the case or if it’s a new general hatred, but so many of my friends have gone out of their way to tell me how much they hate this movie. How funny is that?! I really don’t mind the movie to be honest. It’s not my favorite but I do have a fond memory of watching it back in like 2004 at my Oma and Opa’s house on an air mattress with my brothers at like 10pm on Christmas. So maybe that is why it gives me happy thoughts! Regardless of how you feel about the Polar Express, I took these pictures in front of the B&O Railroad museum in Old Ellicott City on a very rainy day and I love how they turned out.

Story time: so I wore this lovely plaid dress to Thanksgiving dinner. And honestly my mom did tell me I looked like a pilgrim in it, but hey I’m all for festiveness and dressing for holidays. So my great aunt, we call her Tante Helga, joined us for Thanksgiving. My mom drove her all the way to my house from Pennsylvania and when she walked in to our house I went up to give her hug. When she saw me she looked at me and said “Oh, did you just get up?”…………The answer is no. But she thought I looked tired and thought I was wearing a nightgown. So that’s….solid and….refreshing. Anyway, here are some similar nightgowns dresses below.

I actually got this dress from Rent the Runway and despite what my mom and great aunt say about it, I loved it. In these pictures I definitely played to the ‘nightgown’ label by posing in front of this train as if I was hoping on the Polar Express. But what’s life if you can’t laugh at yourself?
