Hi everyone! I don’t know about you, but the chill in the air over the weekend totally made me go crazy over the upcoming holidays! I am SO excited I can hardly stand it. This year I’m loving that the big trends are warm sweater ponchos like this one here, lots of sequins, and gold–which means I’ll definitely be wearing this gorgeous skirt again! I ordered these leggings (above) a while ago and I’ve been anxiously awaiting their arrival. I cannot wait to wear them!
It’s also time to start that shopping if you haven’t already. My best advice for relieving some of that stress {besides wine}…
First and foremost- don’t wait until last minute- You are just asking for stress to come knocking on your door.
2. Make a list of everyone you have to buy for.
3. Set a total budget (and STICK to it- trust me this is key!)
4. Divide your budget accordingly {no, this doesn’t mean you get half for yourself– although, treating yourself is always nice to do once in a while 🙂 }
5. GO SHOPPING- I like to take advantage of online shopping during this time of year because a lot of places offer free shipping!
6. Wrap early.
7. Now, enjoy that glass of wine because you are all set!
What do you do to eliminate some of that stress this time of year??
