east vs west style. holiday shopping.

during the holidays, it's all about multi-tasking to get things done. if i'm having drinks or dinner with friends after work, i'll try to meet up at a restaurant at the mall so that i can grab a few gifts before or after.

i've been loving comfy sweatshirts lately, and this pretty blue sequined one is equally sporty and festive. it's likely i would be wearing black pants or a pencil skirt at the office before swapping either out for something more comfy like these leather shorts. after cocktails when i'm ready to shop, i'll pull out the crossbody straps from my clutch, throw on my sneakers, and power shop before heading home.

how do you get things done during the holidays?

weekend style.

if there's one store i hit up on black friday, it's Express. the entire store is 50% off until noon, and i like that. most times i'll walk out of a store with a bag full of stuff that wasn't on sale (isn't that always the case?!), then wonder why i got up so early on a day off. at Express, it's a no brainer. i like knowing that whatever i grab is on sale. and if you're in the store before noon, you might even get a card that entitles you to two more hours of shopping at 50% off. but even if you miss all of that, the entire store is still 40% off for the rest of the day. Express, you rock! same time next year?

catch me on the weekends, and i'm usually in an outfit similar to this. button-up shirts are definitely my go-to because they create a look that's slightly more pulled together than shorts and a tee. if it's cold, i may swap out the shorts for jeans and throw on a utility jacket...then finish off the look with a hands-free crossbody bag.

what's your go-to weekend style?
