‘Tis the season for a fun, holiday sweater! I have never done the ugly sweater thing, but I decided to be festive without going too far. I love this sweater because it has a bold design without being too crazy or ugly. Love that!

I wore this Christmas sweater on Thanksgiving, and to a recent holiday party. I plan to wear it to more holiday parties and events as well as on Christmas day. It’s perfect for events!

Now, let’s chat about these barrel jeans! I was so scared of this trend! As someone on the shorter side, these types of jeans normally swallow me whole. Thankfully, these barrel jeans come in lengths! I was able to get the right length for my 5’4″ frame and they fit perfectly. Now I can rock a trend I thought I would never be able to touch.

So, if you are looking for a holiday sweater that isn’t too wild, you will love this one! Also, if you want to rock the barrel jeans trend, this is the pair for your petite, regular or tall height! Love that!

I hope you are enjoying the holiday season. Stay tuned for more from the holiday season!

Thanks for stopping by!

Hershey Antique Auto Museum and Hershey Gardens

There is so much to do in Hershey, PA! It was so nice to be able to go back over Thanksgiving break and visit the Hershey Antique Auto Museum and also be able to stroll through Hershey Gardens and see all the beautiful Christmas decorations, holiday decorations, gardens, fall foliage, and roses. Despite being cold and wintery outside, the gardens were still beautiful. Love!

Hershey Antique Auto Museum | AACA Museum

We started our day at the Hershey Antique Auto Museum. I was impressed! There is a rotating exhibit near the entryway and the museum is full of automotive history packed onto three floors! There was even a small train section. It was really educational and fun. There were so many automotive brands I had never heard of, and a large number of unique vehicles. There was even a section all about Tucker! Now my dream car is a Tucker. I need to watch the movie. It sounds so amazing!

If you are ever in the Hershey area, I highly recommend visiting the Hershey Antique Auto Museum (AACA Museum) and taking the time to see all three floors. It is really an amazing place! Love!

Hershey Gardens

After visiting the AACA Museum, we went to Hershey Gardens. Despite being cold and winery outside, it was so nice to stroll through the gardens and see the beautiful, manicured flowers, plants, trees, etc. I definitely would like to return in the late spring when everything is in full bloom. It looks like the flowers and roses will be beautiful! In November, we caught the end of the fall foliage and a few roses remained for us to enjoy. The gardens were decorated for the holidays, so it was magical. Loved it!

Again, if you are in Hershey, PA, definitely visit Hershey Gardens! It is a beautiful walk, perfect chance for fresh air, and you will love the manicured gardens.
