{recap} Wardrobe Update - December



It's the last wardrobe update of 2020! And last post too. What a wild year it has been. 

 

I  almost made it through the month without a purchase and then J.Crew Factory did a 75% off clearance sale so I picked up a few things on the 27th, still waiting for them to arrive. I got 2 leopard tops (because I'm addicted) and a purple men's sweater (that I also got Christian for Christmas) because I can never find a good dark purple in women's clothes! I used ad money so I don't feel too bad.

 

A couple items for a sponsored post in February also arrived. Now I have a whole month to take the photos, woohoo!

  1. You got some real bargains in the sale, I hope you love them all when they arrive! I bought a couple things in the boxing day sales when I picked up more for the kids but I won't know until it all arrives if I'll be keeping or not so I'm waiting and I'll include them in a January post if I do. They won't get here until next week at the earliest.

    Hope that you had a wonderful Christmas and are having a happy new year :)
