You should see what I’ve been rockin’ in honor of the holidays.
Or I guess I should say… what I’ve been coercing my friends to wear with me on the holidays.
Because as you all know, I rarely make a fool out of myself solo.
That’s right. For the tacky Christmas party, we were the Tacky Tinsel Twins. Mad props to Heidi Jo for agreeing to this (yeah, I just said “mad props”).
A pretty easy/inexpensive costume, too. All you need is some garland, present bows, and a little creativity. And a big fat black Santa belt.
And a willing friend to sport a costume which makes you both look slightly obese.
I also recommend making friends with Frank (in his Bieber Santa getup), because he makes for some great photo ops.
But who really needs mistletoe this days?
If you’re lucky, Santa will show up, too.
And remember that Surf n Santa 10 miler Anastasia and I ran two weeks ago?
We may have run in sporting gift sacks. Clearly, everyone around us was wondering if we truly did belong in Corral 1.
No. Shame.
Whatcha think of that red lipstick action?
We made sure to hold hands for the finish, since we didn’t get to do so for the marathon.
Cute gift sacks, right?
And yes, I am filing this post under “fashion.” Because that’s most definitely this is.

Love it! I pretty much love any race that allows me to run in costume. I did the Santa Shuffle as an elf (go check out my pics, they’re pretty rockin’!), the Thanksgiving Day 5k as a Turkey (the only one in costume out of 1200 runners), and plan to do my 1/1 race in Feetie Pajamas, cuz why not?!

Lovin’ the style!! Tinsel is pretty much the cousin to sparkles and sequins and we all know how in they are this time of year!!

You seriously come up with the best costumes in life. I love the tacky tinsel twins. If I come to va can we be triplets? Pretty please.

I am absolutely in love with this. You are a gorgeous tinsel twinner and I’m obviously getting very jealous of Anastasia. Kindly tell her to watch her back…

you’re stinkin’ hilarious. I love this.
If this doesn’t qualify as fashion I am not sure what does!

lol, truly showing that if you just have the confidence to rock an outfit you can look stunning in everything.

You are so creative with your costume ideas! I might even love the tinsel costume more than the loofa one, but only kinda :p
loofah wins. it didn’t stain my armpits.
What I am most proud of here are your CURLS! Did you do them yourself? I am so sad I can’t gym with you today but I guess I’m sweaty enough just sitting here.
Jamie@cupcakedynamite recently posted..remember when
jamie. you know me better than that. Heidi Jo did them! isn’t she a pro? I asked her to come with me this weekend to follow me around and do them again, but alas, no dice.
Oh beautiful. Both outfits are just beautiful, and I am especially loving the tinsel! Perfect for a tacky Christmas party.
And yes, I am loving the luscious rouge lips! I am more of a lip gloss kind of gal, but I noticed it on you immediately and thought RAWR! Maybe I have been missing out…
Lindsey @ Happy or Hungry recently posted..How to Not Hate Running (not that I’m an expert)
honestly, it’s the first time I’ve worn lipstick since my days in the high school musical. maybe I need to go purchase me some lip color.
LOVE that red lipstick and all of your Christmas outfits…I have documentation of some embarrassing (but actually really awesome) outfits from parties in college. Oh how I wish I could go back

Completely loving this! I have no friends that would ever do something like that with me. So fun! Loving your outfits!
Julia @ The Coffee Crazed Teacher recently posted..Completely Blessed.
This is hilarious. I love dressing up and having fun with my friends like that. I can not believe you ran 10 miles in that custom. Didn’t your get annoyed wearing all that stuff?
that’s why it was a fun run.
I like your red lipstick! I’m not sure that I’d be able to pull it off.
Emily @ Perfection Isn’t Happy recently posted..Christmas Angels in Indiana
You’re a tinsel-holic and I LOVE it. So much better than an ugly sweater!
Alexa @ SimpleEats recently posted..Leftover Remix
OMG! Your tinsel outfit may be the cutest thing I have ever seen. And so creative!
I would much rather roll up to a Christmas party in that than some ugly sweater.
Emily recently posted..WIAW #10: Some Things Never Get Old
Haha I would be terrified of wearing red lipstick during a run! I know I’d smear it all over my face and who knows where. Your “dress” looks real! As in, it’s supposed to be bought that way.
The tinsel suit is amazing. Did it shed? I am envisioning tinsel hair everywhere.
You are killing it with the fashion…
Sierra recently posted..Chocolate Macaroons
hahah. ACTUALLY, it didn’t shed it a terrible way. there were, however, a few casualties.
LOVE the idea of the tinsel!! Your arms and bangs look amazing girl!
alyssa – fashion fitness foodie recently posted..Alyssa vs. Hoboken
Love love love the outfits. haha. It wouldn’t take much persuasion for me to play dress up with you.
Tiff @ Love Sweat and Beers recently posted..WIAW on T
I tried to wear red lipstick to my company Christmas party on Friday night and just couldn’t pull it off. I felt like a fool. You look adorable in it though…I just have to realize I’m not one of the select few that can pull it off!
gosh, I was laughing at myself the entire time about how stupid I felt with it on. I’m glad you think I pulled it off!
Love the dress, but that Santa Claus is less than convincing. Give that guy a lump of coal this year.
