(I'm still poking away at that dress, and intend to either make a "yes, I don't hate this dress" or "do not under any circumstances buy this pattern" post soon. It's a red and green plaid so I should finish it while it's still seasonably wearable!)
So - the event itself was somewhat less fun than anticipated, and I did a very last-minute scramble to finish a novelty print cotton skirt I bought the fabric for last year. But I do enjoy the skirt! I've worn it a few times since the event, and gotten compliments every time. It's just so ridiculous!

Yes...walruses in hats and earmuffs. And fishies in tiny, tiny earmuffs. |
Not-quite-complete group shot...in the dark, while in line for the Dickens Christmas Experience at Macy's. If you've never seen, and you're in Philly...it's an experience, for sure. (Don't go if you're terrified of A Small World at Disney World, or don't like very very hyped up employees haranguing you to start singing christmas carols while waiting in line. We responded by quietly singing "The Sound of Silence" when he was a safe distance away.)
Winter walruses are considerably less elegant than my original dress plans, but...I like them anyway, and at least they weren't injured by getting covered in snow! It snowed pretty much all day with no letup; not much accumulation but didn't make for a very fun walk around the city. Glad I had what's essentially a giant wool blanket to wear! (Best thrift store find ever, y/y?)
A third of the lights on the Christmas tree may have been out (oops)...but the Wanamaker building/Macy's is a hundred years old and still very impressive!

Pay no attention to the chewed-up heels...these are old shoes! |
You look fab! It can be so hard to organize get-togethers at this time of year, but I'm glad you were able to salvage the day! Your novelty-print skirt is awesome :)
