treat youself

As much as I love giving gifts to others, I am also a big believer in remembering to treat yourself sometimes. I can’t think of a better opportunity, than a J. Crew 25% AND free shipping sale (code: STAYWARM), to do this. I wanted to share my recommendations for giving yourself a little something, something. For the ladies, this is the perfect time to buy practical staples that you know you’ll wear time and time again, and of course, induldge in one item. The best part is that you won’t have to feel as guilty since you got such a steal! I’d recommend a go-to statement necklace, a blazer to add instant sophistication and style, a pair of the uber-versatile Minnie pant (I bought two of these since I live in them – perfect with boots, flats, for work, for dressing up…opportunities are endless! They tend to stretch so I’d get a size smaller than usual), and an always needed button down. This is also your chance to get that cashmere sweater that you’ve been lusting and a cute pair of pumps or boots that are usually way too expensive to justify, but now you barely can. I went with the MacAlister wedge boots for my indudgence. I’ve been eyeing them for a while. What’s the worst case? If something doesn’t fit or you’re having buyer’s remorse, then easily return with the label provided.

For the men, I’d recommend going with staples such as tees and everyday half-zip sweaters.

For the little ones, get the holiday outfits so that it’s off your list and all sizes are still available! You’ll be very thankful when the holidays are here. Also, a little secret.  Even bridal is 25% off. So if you're like me, have your bridesmaids get those dresses! 

Treat yourself quickly because the sale ends tonight!
