It's that time of year again ! December/Holiday shopping !!

I always struggle with what to wear shopping during this season because it's usually freezing out (not this year…#globalwarmingscaresme) and I want to look: 

a) presentable

b)not over heat inside a large winter parka !!

c) be comfortable for the hours of walking ahead

d) AND be able to head to a holiday party or dinner later that night !

So here's one of my solutions - a long statement waistcoat over a lightweight sweater dress, ripped jeans to keep the look casual enough to go shopping , and a minor pointed-toe bootie to transition you into nightwear. 

It's not too casual, but not too overdone that all the other shoppers in sweatsuits look at you like you're trying too hard ;p

Happy shopping!!
