Llama Sweater

 

Everything llama related was all the rage a few years ago. Llamas are super cute, so I was definitely all on board with this trend! I suppose the llama trend is still going strong because I recently found this llama sweater at Banana Republic! The llama on the sweater looks very reminiscent of an ad campaign put out by Banana Republic when I was in college. (That was kind of a long time ago!) I remember loving the ad then and I still love the llama in the ad now! The only thing that I wish was different about the sweater is the scarf on the llama because the llama in the ad had an orange scarf on, which I think should have been used in the sweater for a pop of color!

 

Speaking of a pop of color, because this outfit is head to toe brown with brown boots, a brown tweed skirt, and, of course, my brown llama sweater, I thought I would add a little pop of color with my accessories. One easy way to add color to any outfit is with a fun, colorful bag! I recently got this bag from the Salvatore Ferragamo outlet last month. When I saw the patchwork of bright colors on the bag, it was love at first sight! I love that it's colorful but in a way that's perfect for the fall and winter months due to the slightly more subdued colors. I guess you could say this bag was made for me!

Fa La La La Llama!

I know that this llama dress isn't exactly the most Christmassy dress in the world but I wanted to feature it because it was a recent Black Friday purchase from Anthropologie and I thought it might be a nice break from all of the plaid! Also, the weather here this weekend was on the warm side, so I thought it would be the perfect occasion to give the dress a spin. I love animals and, as you may know, I have a lot of clothing with animal prints but I especially love llamas, so this dress felt like it was made for me. Yes, as I predicted last spring, llamas have become the new hot animal and, to be quite honest, I can't get enough of them!

So, to make this post a little bit more in keeping with the Christmas spirit, I have purchased quite a few llama themed holiday items. Last year, I purchased a light up llama from Target, which was the subject of a very epic Instagram story video because it was the last llama of its kind left in the store and it was quite the ordeal trying to get it! This year, I bought a llama tree topper from Anthropologie, which is now adorning our tree in the place of a star. Even though my mother, my husband, and and my father-in-law each described it using the word "interesting", I'm still a fan of it! I guess I am a little bit biased because I am, after all, a self proclaimed llama lover! Below, you will find some of my favorite holiday llama gifts for the llama lover in your life!
