Threads – Christmas Style

Patchwork Cactus - Threads

This post is sponsored by Ozsale all content and opinions are mine.

It's that time of the year when you have to have a go-to dress. Once upon a time I only wore short dresses, I was really petite and pretty straight up and down so anything too long completely drowned me. 

Now I do stuff, like bend over, crouch, lean through, get pulled at and sit on the ground. I need bulletproof clothing, stuff that literally cannot be tugged out of place, stuff that can last the serious amount of washing and soaking…the barrage of peanut butter, snot and milk. You know, good stuff. 

And then there's the shoes. I am not going to pretend that I wear heels anymore. I LOVE them and I have a huge collection but they are just ornaments at this point. Especially because my feet went up a size since having kids. I know, right?! Seriously. Anyhoo, sometimes I want to wear something other than thongs or Birkenstocks so the clogs pictured below are my new fancy. 

I love my new life so much, but it requires a new wardrobe, a more quality and less quantity wardrobe so sales are my best friend, 40 percent off is where I live and good fabric gives me warm fuzzies. 

Which is why when Ozsale asked me to give their site a go I said, why not? Now here I am, new Christmas outfit that can be dressed up or down, is completely Squawk proof and will take the abuse that I am going to throw at it, but for a budget I can afford. Life is sweet. Plus it's a bit of a family tradition that we wear new clothes on Christmas day so – tick.
