I will also have lots of pictures of me trying on some clothes that you haven’t seen yet.
I don’t think I’ve ever taken so much time to shop for, write, and prepare for a post as I have Friday’s post.
So, don’t go shopping by yourself, that’s no fun!
Throw on your pajamas, grab a cup of hot chocolate, and plop yourself down on the couch and we will go shopping together!
My beloved wedge boots went on sale for 40% off and a reader let me know about them late Saturday night. I put them on facebook on Sunday afternoon, and then I put them on the blog Monday and Tuesday…but Tuesday morning I got a facebook message from a reader that they were all sold out. I didn’t believe it (because they had all sizes just the night before), so I called the 1-800 number to confirm, and they confirmed that they must be sold out.
So, imagine my surprise when they appeared on the website again Tuesday night!
I posted them on facebook again last night, and within like 2 minutes my friend Andrea had thrown a graphic together. This girl makes me laugh like no other.
Ryan has a message for everybody.

Before the disappear again!!!

Okay, time for our month in review girls!
November was a GREAT month. In fact, I’m thinking it was my very favorite blog month so far! Only portions of some of the posts are going to appear on today’s post, but all of them will have links to the original post if you want to see more!
NOVEMBER 4th
So…..
I felt it was my civic responsibility to find a “GOOD QUALITY PAIR OF
LEGGINGS”.
leggings are a nice OPAQUE black and do not become too thin or sheer
when put on. The material doesn’t sag or bunch, and they hug my body
perfectly without being too tight. The “ultra wide” waistband puts the
leggings into the PERFECT category for me. It hugs my tummy without
being constricting and they are SO comfortable. I am 5’4″, a size 4 in
pants, and the size SMALL was perfect for me. They were a couple of
inches too long, but I plan on only wearing them with boots, so I didn’t
mind just folding them up. (And I think this is a good thing for
taller ladies!)
I want to kick off my weekend with Shopping with Sheaffer and Shay!
Remember to check out Shay’s post HERE. She went to GAP and CLEANED HOUSE.
True to form, I’m sticking to Nordstrom today.
But don’t worry, I cleaned house too.
My first BIG find of the day .
The Blardigan found HERE.
Look at Shay nuzzling it in the mall food court.
If you missed it earlier, you have to click HERE to read all about it.
Seriously, click HERE to read about this FABULOUS item if you missed it earlier.
If you don’t need it (please note I think you’re crazy), but some lucky lady on your Christmas list probably does!
While in the pajama department, I saw this pajama set and had to try them on.
PJ Salvage print pajamas HERE / plus size PJ Salvage pajamas HERE
The reviews for PJ Salvage are wonderful.
I sized down. I am wearing an x-small and they were perfect for me.
I also tried on some Kut from the Kloth cords.
camisole HERE
Kut from the Kloth Mia toothpick skinny cords HERE
Stella and Dot Sanibel pendant
These cords
are AMAZING.
NOVEMBER 11th:
Christmas is 45 Days Away, But Don’t Worry!
I had 2 Santa Alerts on this day.
Click HERE for the collection.
My favorite colors are the antique gold, blonde tortoise, tiger’s eye, and hot pink.
I LOVE the necklaces and the bracelets (but I’m not really a fan of the earrings).
And here’s my 2nd Santa Alert of the day.
It’s SO FUN!
red velvet lip scrub HERE
I’m going to give you a great option for something festive to wear this holiday season.
HOW CUTE IS THIS SHIRT ?!?
I’m
not sure if you can tell in the picture, but the front of it is sheer
and I’m wearing a nude/camel colored cami under it. It’s t-shirt
material, and it zips up the side for a nice details.
Also, I like how
the back is solid red.
I wore it with my MUST HAVE jeans (similar pair HERE) and my cognac wedge boots HERE.

because wearing leggings to Thanksgiving this year is happening FO SHO.
It’s safe to say that all of you girls are just as obsessed with your new leggings as I am.
However, even though I received TONS of “I AM IN LOVE WITH MY LEGGINGS”
e-mails, I also received plenty of “WHAT THE HECK DO I WEAR WITH MY
LEGGINGS NOW THAT I HAVE THEM?” e-mails.
I’ve got this ladies.
And guess what?!? Mr. Gosling decided to drop by again today with a message:
Yes, my friend Andrea is responsible for the above awesomeness.
Don’t you wish your friend was as funny and creative as mine? 😉
I mean, “adorable hiney”. Hilarious.
The first 3 pictures you are all of the same knit tunic, just in different colorways.
And it’s my favorite.
It is SO flattering (and let’s just be honest here: if something is flattering, I BUY IT)…
and it looks awesome with the leggings.
I feel like I need a drum roll or something.
I think I’m going to have to get the solid black one HERE. Yes. I do love AND NEED the solid black one. It’s going to be so cute with my new grey leggings and my cognac boots!
Check out this one!!!
I was wearing a small in this picture, only
because they didn’t have a medium. I know I would like the medium
better for a more generous fit.
Click HERE for the cowl neck tunic that comes in 4 colors!
COZY AND CASUAL…YET TOTALLY POLISHED!
Next up, a PERFECT cardigan to pair with leggings.
It’s lightweight, it has a cute little hood, it comes in 7 colors, and it is the PERFECT length!
Long cardigan HERE (which is now on my My Christmas List!)
This
t-shirt is long enough for me to wear with leggings, but if you are
over 5’4″ or have a long torso, it probably won’t be long enough for
leggings for you. I love it with my skinny jeans too!
For size reference, I’m wearing a small in both the t-shirt and the cardigan.
If you saw the blog on Wednesday, you know I featured Shay’s mom in her MUST HAVE leggings!
Yes. She’s Gorgeous. And yes. She really is Shay’s mom (and not her sister!).
I thought she did a perfect job of showing you how a woman over 50 can
wear leggings (she even convinced my mom yesterday to try it for
herself!).
So, I decided to show us side by side in our outfits.
I’m a total copy cat.
Leggings at 30-ish :), and leggings at 50-ish :).
Same leggings…Same sweatshirt tunic.
And I think both of us look put together and perfectly age appropriate!
Click HERE for the sweatshirt tunic
Have you heard of Muk Luks?
No? I hadn’t either.
But now that I know about them, I feel as if my life is going to be better because of them.
I’m not kidding when I say these house shoes are seriously going to improve my quality of life.
(Listen, I get that I sometimes have a flare for the dramatic….or so my hubby says…but I’m not being dramatic…..these house shoes really are amazing!)
Okay. Maybe the love note is a little dramatic.
Click HERE and take as long as you need to totally appreciate the CUTENESS.
They are brand new to Nordstrom, so there aren’t any online reviews yet….but you don’t need them.
Here’s my official review, the only review you need:
BEST FLIPPING HOUSE SHOE EVER.
Click HERE for all styles.

I have a very important public service announcement today.
Actually, I don’t have the message.
Pinterest is the one with the message.
I’m just helping her get the word out.
Pinterest isn’t just telling you to get a military jacket, she’s practically BEGGING you to.
Look at all of the lovely military jacket inspiration she has to offer.
I found a little bit of inspiration for an outfit recreation, and I came pretty close in the picture below!
Striped Sweater| HERE
I LOVE this sweater and it is 50% off right now! It is SO soft, and it fits so cute!
AND IT’S STRIPES.
