Well another Friday is here and my coworkers and I decided to try out another style challenge. (Peek our boot challenge last week here!) Up this week? With Christmas right around the corner, we figured we would take the proverbial Christmas sweater out for a spin. While holiday sweaters often get a bad reputation for being, well, for lack of a better word, ugly, I think I know a few other girls who would prove otherwise. Check out Meghan and Rebecca to see how they styled theirs!

I couldn't resist going a bit matchy-matchy with the beaded collar and studded shoes. When opportunity knocks, right?

Sometimes I forget what beautiful views San Francisco has to offer -- the headlands in particular, just north of the Golden Gate Bridge. Luckily, the sun peeked through long enough for us to snap these photos and breathe in some crisp, ocean air. Just what I needed on a relaxed Sunday afternoon.
