What’s your go-to studying outfit?

It varies from day to day…but nice, soft, scrunchy socks are the essential constant. I love that they keep your feet warm for kitchen ventures, but also transition well for in-bed studying.

What will you wear to holiday parties this year?

I have a scandalous Christmas sweater that I found at Goodwill this summer…let’s just say that it features some reindeer participating in an activity probably not sanctioned by Santa. 

What is the #1 item on your Christmas List?

Something to hold all of my scarves − they’re everywhere. It’s getting ridiculous!
