 Okay– it’s official– My Christmas shopping is complete!!!! EEEEK!! I am actually a little late– I always goal to be finished by Thanksgiving, but this year it didn’t work out quite that way, but that’s ok!  Can you honestly believe there are only two weeks left?? That’s right, TWO weeks! I need to start thinking about New Year’s Eve plans!  What are you guys doing??  In the meantime my days off have been consisting of cozy sweaters, cute boots, and some leggings.  Why not?  It’s the perfect time of year of this stuff.  I do have a story about this sweater and I have to say I love how well Forever 21 does at “replicating” designer brands.  This sweater is an example of that.   I completely fell in love with this Free People sweater the second it arrived at Nordstrom, but it was $128 (now on sale for $80).  I saw the Forever 21 version I’m wearing and thought, oh my gosh- this is the perfect replacement for a fraction of the cost! I was happy with this purchase and you have no idea how many comments I received of people thinking it was the more expensive version :-).  Confirmation=Good Buy.
