So the weather has been real stellar here in Columbus, OH.  Not.  I had to do an indoor shoot today since it was raining and gloomy.  Normally days like this would not make me want to put a lot of effort into my outfit, but I had recently did a little shopping and wanted to show off my new digs.  So I am in LOVE with this fur sweater that I got from Express.  It is so comfortable and the fur on the collar is detachable if you aren't feeling as daring.  Fur is such a statement.  Obviously I am talking faux fur.  I definitely am not a fan of the real thing.  I feel so confident and cool when I have a piece with fur on.  I found this sequin top at The Limited and it matched the sweater perfectly,  I also think the sequins add a little glam to this look and since it is close to the holidays, sequins are completely necessary.  I paired this outfit with my gold skirt from H&M that I love, but I think this would also look great with a pair of skinny or bootcut jeans and the perfect boot or bootie.  Does anyone else have a hard time going to the mall shopping for Christmas presents for others and NOT buying for themselves?  The deals are just so good that it is hard not to pick up a couple of things for yourself too.  Am I right?  Or do I just have a shopping problem?  Happy Holidays if I don't post before Christmas! :)
