I was doing some online Christmas shopping on Black Friday, and happened upon these aztec leggings from Kohl’s. Does that ever happen to you? You have every intention of buying for other people only, but then your little eyes just happen to drift on over to the Junior’s Leggings section (even though you’re really looking for a present for your dad, who is definitely neither a Junior nor a leggings wearer- ha!) and then you just happen to place a pair of leggings into your online cart and then oh? What’s this? That darn “checkout” button is clicked. It’s just so easy these days, I swear. No, but really, they were on a ridiculous sale, plus 20% off, plus free shipping, plus yadda yadda yadda. Those Black Friday sales. They got us. They got us good. But! On the plus side, I am completely done with my Christmas shopping! I met my goal this year (December 1st), and I am pretty darn proud of myself. High fives all around!
Did you do any Black Friday shopping, online or in store?
What’s the last thing you bought for yourself?

p.s. I styled a cute holiday outfit over at Savvy Sassy Moms! It is definitely going to be my go-to holiday look this year. I’m in love.
Rachel

Absolutely love these leggings!! they remind me of some “navajo leggings” I found (which are on my Christmas List and circled so the boyfriend knows exactly what I want ;)). Dang!! I tried for December 1, but it just didn’t happen. I only have one more person to shop for and I am determined to get that done on Thursday!!!
Katie
Haha I love that- gotta give those guys some very not-so-subtle hints ;) Girl. I would just say you have been successful- just ONE more person doesn’t count! You’re done (mostly). :)

Holy crap, you’re done with your shopping already! Man you’re good! Maybe this is why people can actually enjoy the season, they don’t have to worry about what to get people after a certain point and can just relax. Hmm, perhaps I should try and finish up this weekend! (Hah!)
Katie
Ha! Thanks. This is the first year I’ve ever done this, and I’m definitely not going to make it a goal EVERY year. But you know. It feels good to be done, not gonna lie! ;) You can totally do it!

Lindsey A. Turner
I always do the same thing- it’s so hard when you are shopping not to see something you like for yourself! Love the leggins- you styled them perfectly!

Aw thanks Lindsey!! And glad I’m not the only one. I feel kind of bad, but really. A good deal is a good deal- can’t pass it up! ;)
Jamie
I do the same thing, whether in person or online shopping. I was on Bath & Body Works website looking for candles to give as gifts & somehow I ended up getting three for myself. No idea how that happened!! ;)

Hahaha ohhh man you sound JUST like me. And then I come home with the three candles and get instant eye rolls from Zack ;) I get it, girl. I get it.

Verrrrry cute outfit! I haven’t been daring enough to go for any of these printed leggings that everyone is wearing. Maybe I should just take the plunge! I did “accidentally” buy myself a new shirt while I was shopping for Christmas presents in Old Navy this weekend… But I couldn’t help it! The whole store was marked 30% off! ;)

My husband and I may or may not have only bought things for ourselves on Black Friday….oops =/
To be fair, our families are small and we are giving our parents albums of our wedding!!
Liz
Katie
Ha! Hey, it’s a great time to shop, whether it’s for your or others!!! Ain’t no shame in that. And I looooved the first Christmas after the wedding, because literally all everyone wants/gets are wedding pictures!!! LOVE it!

Katie! What you are describing here is unknown to me. Shopping for yourself when planning to shop for others?! Never heard of such thing. Hm. :P
