Soft tops and leggings forever

top: c/o shein  leggings: old navy

This top is insanely soft and I LOVE it.  Also I wore it over a black tank top and after a sweaty gym workout and it did not shed at all, which is pretty impressive.  Plus it's $16 (and then 15% off if you use code Q1forlauren15 for anything you purchase)!

I am sure it would look really cute with jeans too, with either converse shoes or cute tennis shoes. But most days I wear workout leggings so this will have to do!  Speaking of leggings these are the ones I'm wearing from Old Navy.  I have too many pairs to count from there but I love them.  They're high waisted and stay up while I work out.  And they are usually super cheap.  I just bought another pair last weekend because they were all on sale for $12! 

Post holiday funk

tank top: c/o shein   jeans: old navy  cardigan: old navy
I'm sure you can all relate to that post holiday funk?  No exciting traditions or holidays or family days off to look forward to.  Winter germs and cold weather.  I feel like January and February are the rougher months of the year.  I'm currently sitting and watching the new Bachelor, which definitely helps a little.  That's one of the shows I feel a tad to loyal to, because I don't know what it would take for me to not watch a season. Forever a bachelor/bachelorette fan! 
I just got this tank top and when it came in the mail it literally looked like it could fit Addilyn. Thank goodness for some serious stretch.  I think it would look so cute with a high waisted skirt in the summer. It definitely needs to be worn with high waisted jeans, which isn't a problem because I don't think I'll ever wear anything else.  (Use code Q1forlauren15 for 15% off your order at Shein.)
I couldn't find this cardigan online but I just got it from Old Navy and it was on clearance for under $20 and is so warm and cozy.  I love it! 

Have some Christmas money to spend??

Do any of you have some Christmas money to spend? Or things to exchange? My grandma always gives the grandkids some money for Christmas and I love being able to pick out something fun and feel zero guilt about buying it.  Not that that stops me from buying things other time, just the zero guilt part. ;) 

I recently got to pick out some new items from Shein and I can't wait to get them.  One of my friends recently bought a dress I posted and she got it within a week which I was pretty impressed by.  Also you can use code katiejvale20 for 20% off your order!  Here's a few things I'm loving from their site: 

 one  //  two

I have the one on the right in yellow and grey and LOVE it.  It's oversized and one of my favorite sweaters.

three  //  four

I just ordered the one on the left and can't wait to get it!

 five  //  six

I'm not a huge off the shoulder fan, but I think both of these can be worn normal and look so cozy!

Basically I want anything that is oversized and cozy.  From not until at least March, right? I hope you all had a wonderful pictures.  Hopefully I'll make a post soon sharing some of our last few days!

Teddy bear hug

 sweatshirt: c/o shein   leggings: target  boots: target

This sweatshirt feels like what it would be like to be hugged by a huge teddy bear.  Without the claustrophobic part for me.  It is so stinkin soft.  I got a small and it is still really big.  It's pretty warm, which is perfect because I hate wearing coats so I'm counting this as one.  

My sister and I bought these boots from Target on Thanksgiving when we were sitting in my car waiting for the Turkey trot to start.  Kind of an impulse buy as I forget that I even ordered them when they came in the mail.  Oops.  But they were only $15 and I love them, so I don't regret it on bit.  

Happy almost weekend!  We had a sick kid with the stomach flu yesterday and I am praying hard that no one else gets it.  We have Chris' work party this weekend, which equals a night away for us and I would be so disappointed to miss it!

See you tomorrow UPS man.

top: c/o shein    jeans: american eagle   boots: just fab
The other day Rosie was outside when the UPS guy came and she just barks like crazy and can't decide if she wants to be friendly or protective and also doesn't listen to me when I call her.  It made for quite an awkward interaction and the guy wouldn't just walk away.  Finally I told him "you can just give me the package and go and she'll relax.  I'm sorry!" He responded, "Okay, see you tomorrow."  
Guilty.  
In my defense many are Christmas presents for other people, but I have had my share of clothes this Winter.  One new one being this top.  These kinds of tops are my favorite.  Super comfortable and cute and perfect for Fall or Winter.  This one I just got and it was $16 (but you can use code katiejvale20 to get 20% off your order).  I still am singing praises of American Eagle jeans and now own probably four pairs of them and love each of them.  


(If you don't want to tie it you can wear it loose or tucked in and I love it that way too!) 
Oh and in my defense I did NOT see him tomorrow.  Just the day after.
