Trying to Christmas Shop

I've started my Christmas shopping. But as I browse through the stores, I can't help but fall in love with stuff for myself!! 

I always get in trouble at Aldo. What can be better than a store that sells purses and shoes? Nothing. Well maybe if they also gave away chocolate. So I went in looking for shoes for my hubby and totally fell in love with this purse and these adorable wedge boots...

But I held firm and stuck to the plan and my budget. But boy am I looking forward to Christmas. I know Christmas usually means new clothes for me. Each year I think I should consider being more practical with my wishlist. But that's no fun!

The Sweater Dress

I was recently treated to a shopping trip for my birthday in August. I don't go shopping too often anymore so it was quite exciting! Having a baby changes the way you decide what type of clothes you need. Everything needs to be available to be spit up on. And everything fits differently than it did before. 
I tried on this sweater dress...

Now I'm not a sweater dress type of girl. I have curves and when I've tried on this type of outfit in the past, it's less than flattering. But I was surprised to find out, it looked great and I loved it! I never seem to start my Christmas list early enough but this year I know one thing is already on my list.
I did come home with a few things including this top and skirt and some cardigans. I love that cardigans are in style this year. It makes me feel like my wardrobe is more versatile since I can put a cardigan over my summer tops.

I got these wedges for my birthday from my lovely siblings! I realize that getting white shoes so close to labor day might be an issue. But I did get to wear them a few times and I'm looking forward to wearing them in spring! It's like knowing I get new shoes when the weather gets warm! :)
