This is going to be a busy week, so I thought I would share some of my favorite sales I’m keeping an eye on and what I’m planning on buying (honestly its a lot).
Best Christmas Pajamas
As I have gotten older, I developed a fear of Christmas not feeling like Christmas anymore. It could be because of school and work and money problems and not believing in Santa anymore, but as of late I think one of the easiest ways to keep in the Christmas spirit is festive Christmas pajamas. Ask my brothers…I make them wear these ridiculous Christmas onesies on Christmas Eve every year. I’m not sure I can pull that off this year so here are some of my favorite pajamas I’ve found at my favorite stores (most of them are on sale this week!)
Icy Blue Sweater
Chicago, its certainly bean a while! (ha I love bean puns). A week ago I was in a very snowy Chicago. Now its snowing here in Maryland, so I guess I can’t escape it until March. Lucky for me I love snow and all things associated with snow. This new sweater I got from Vici reminds me of ice and snow (like if Elsa were to wear a sweater in 2018, this would be it). Vici is one of my new favorite online stores and I can’t wait to buy more sweaters on Cyber Monday (if I can hold out that long). It was absolutely freezing in Chicago when I look these pictures but I hope you can’t really tell how cold I was. Word of advice, don’t take off your coat in Chicago, no matter how cute your sweater is.
Thanksgiving Outfit Ideas
Thanksgiving is just 8 days away and that is just enough time for you (yes you) to order a new outfit for Thanksgiving! Whether you’re slumming it in sweats and leggings or are required by your grandparents to wear a dress and tights, here are a bunch of options you can order before Thanksgiving and they should arrive on time! (Even if you don’t plan on ordering anything, I hope you find some inspiration from this post as you plan what you’re going to wear with what you already have in your closet.) Links below!
Camel Coat at UChicago
Over the weekend I took a trip to Chicago to visit my loveliest friend, Peyton. It’s been a few years since I last visited Chicago and now Peyton and I have graduated! I’ve always loved her Alma Mater because the entire campus is absolutely incredible, especially in the fall! With the Gothic architecture and the ivy leaves, I have such appreciation for UChicago and I’m glad we were able to walk around and take in all the fall leaves. Although it was super chilly, it was sunny and I finally got to wear my new camel coat from Old Navy (on sale now!!!). Details and links below!
My New Shopping Rules
So this picture is kind of misleading because its not like I buy sparkly ball gowns on the reg. But I did need a picture for this blog post, and this store I visited in Annapolis a few weeks ago was just so pretty. I don’t really take pictures when I shop, and to be completely honest, I usually just online shop. A lot. Am I a shopaholic? Some of my friends have called me that, but I don’t think I’m out of control and we can thank my 5 shopping rules for that. Check them out below!
Day 12: 13 Posts of Halloween Costumes
Y’all I cannot wait to be done with these posts…Today is day 12 of ’13 Posts of Halloween’ and all I can say is thank GOD we’re in the home stretch. I’m worn out. I’ve gone through so much make-up remover. So this post is a huge #mood. Today’s theme is “last minute costumes”. Any of these costumes you can throw together 10 minutes before a party, class or work. Read More >>
Orange Tie Front Top
October is practically over and I’m sitting here wondering where the month has gone! I already celebrated Halloween this weekend so you could say I’m ready to jump right into Thanksgiving and Christmas. But before I get ahead of myself, I wanted to share one of my new favorite shirts in my favorite fall color and my favorite new booties.
Apple Orchard Outfit
Last weekend I went to an apple orchard with (who else but) Allison. She had this crazy idea that we should play housewives and bake all these apple pastry things after picking the apples ourselves. We drove 45 minutes to the wrong place but finally made it there. It was actually slim pickings (hahah) since the season is almost over but we got at least 20 apples. It was chilly but super sunny so this wrap/cape thing I wore was a good move. These kinds of shawls are really big at my work so I just bought this Burberry knock-off wrap from T.J. Maxx. I’ll probably wear this with a longer skirt and wear it to work one day, but with the scallop skirt, this is a great apple picking outfit…if you don’t care about reaching the really tall apples.
Halloween Striped Top
I interrupt your regularly scheduled programming of “13 Posts of Halloween” to bring you more pictures of me with some pumpKims (yes I am still using that pun). Fun fact: this shirt was an impulse buy 5 feet away from the checkout line in T.J. Maxx. But for $10, I just couldn’t pass it up. I went to the pumpkin patch 10 minutes from my house over the weekend with my childhood best friend, Kayla. She’s an amazing photographer so its no wonder these pictures turned out great, especially with my impulsive buy of a shirt.
