Ok I finally got to go spend some Christmas money.
First- non Christmas money, I had been wanting a blue coat and then seeing Busy's pushed me over the edge. I found this Ken Cole one at Macy's, regular $300+ on sale for $119:
And I had ordered this from Rue La La and it came yesterday. It snaps closed or you can wear it open.
Ok- with gift cards... I mentioned this in yesterday's OOTD, but I got these Frye Jane stitch boots:
This cardi from Banana:
And a basic grey sweater from Banana that I cannot find online.
From Nordies- the model is posing weird, but this is the perfect simple black blazer:
Also from Nordies, I needed a chambray that was long enough to cover my bum but not quite tunic length. This was perfect.
And a pair of the Zella live in leggings.
Ooh and the Kate Spade iPhone 5 cases are finally out, so I got this one. I like the design and fit of these cases better than the 4/4s ones.

Thanks. I see that it's juniors. I always forget that there's some super cute juniors stuff that's totally workable for adults. I'm inspired to shop juniors!

Cary, I love the wrap sweater. I have a few that get a ton of use. Love the Fryes too! I love all of my Frye boots.
Fashion, those shirts are great! I can't wait to see how you style them.
I got this La Mer at Target today since they had them for 25% off. The leather is eggplant and taupe with rose gold and gold metal.
I also grabbed this slouchy sweater in black. It has metallic black flecks in the yarn. They have it in gray, white, and pale pink too, but only had gray and black at our store. It's slouchy on top, slightly cropped and pulls in at the waist. Perfect to go with sequin skirts since the metallic flecks only show faintly in direct light.

Mind if i ask how much was the le mer watch? I had seen them while Xmas shopping but had already put a ban on myself... Lol. May want to lift said ban ha
Well then. I had $100 in Gap rewards so I just ordered this La Mer for $10 and change thru Piperlime. w00t! Thanks for enabling me, FCG! I actually didn't know what I wanted to use my rewards on, so this is perfect.

No problem! I'm always happy to enable! That one was regular $49.99 and $37.50 with the 25% off. The leather band ones including leopard without the chains are $39.99 down to $29.99 with the discount. Those are great prices for La Mer. This is my third.
Carylee, you will love this watch! That's one I've been eyeing. They are really well-made and comfortable. The strap length will vary since those are handmade. I like how they make an easy statement without a lot of thought.

Yes, exactly. And I've tried stacking bracelets with a regular watch but it always looks clumsy and not intentional on me. Probably bc I don't have the right combo of watches/bracelets but this is awesome. Very excited to get it!!
Carylee - I usually don't think about the boys dept either but I was searching for a chambray shirt on multiple sites and this one came up on Kohl's and I thought, why not? Kept looking and saw the plaid, which reminded me of the J Crew plaid shirt from the Pinterest image with the famous sequin skirt.
I also ordered a pair of Citizens of Humanity jeans, and am considering a light blue J Brand pair that are on sale from Cusp. Not very winter appropriate but looking at styling inspiration pics to help me decide.
I just ordered a couple Kirna Zabete things from Target on clearance. The "leather" leggings, though not sure the size will work, but they were on sale for $10.48. And a dress that is now cheap enough to make into a sewing project (FCG you know what I'm talking about!) at $13.98.

I know exactly what you are talking about! I loved the prints, but wasn't wowed, by the styles. I can't wait to see what you do with it. I'm thinking you may be able to make the leggings work since the pattern was pretty flat. I'm thinking some of the knit could come out since they were really basic.
I have so much stuff to work on and little motivation. It didn't help that my Mom was living in my sewing room making it difficult to work. I'm hoping to do a lot while DH works most of January. We keep getting crazy snow. We got more in 24 hours last week than our entire yearly average.
Thanks, I'm willing to spend some time on them now that they're so cheap! Taking in the side seams on the leggings should be a piece of cake. Don't worry I will post before and after pics of the dress make-over! I'm excited about it.
Hope you get some productive time in, would love to see what you make! That sucks about the snow, pretty much everything keeps missing us here, we've gotten less than an inch between the 2 or 3 times we "got" snow/flurries.

I'll make sure to post pics! We got about 9 inches in 12 hours after 3 hours of freezing rain. DH spent 5 hours shoveling the first time then we got almost 4 more inches. Our neighbor surprised us by plowing us out with his gator and plow that he hadn't used since he got it almost 3 years ago. I was so glad since our driveway is huge.
Also a v-neck coral sweater and a peach long sleeve shirt but I can't find them online to link or PIP. I wore the coral sweater with my mint necklace and got tons of compliments!

I love that watch. That reminds me that I do not wear my La Mer watch enough
