As I - Ty - posted yesterday, last evening was the annual Nordstrom shopping event. To me, it’s the mark of the official start of the holiday season. This year, I was able to take J. with me and he totally embraced every part of this tradition: free food, unendless champagne, AND shopping. (He bought himself a pair of shoes and he NEVER does this; I ALWAYS have to buy him gift cards and clothing as presents for him to update his wardrobe.) Current unemployment aside, I let myself indulge. Beyond snapping up some super cheap basics, I gave into these two beauties below. 

J Brand, ‘Martini’ Flare Leg Jeans. Ummm. Delish. I’m totally psyched that this style is “back” in the trends. Not that I ever cared that it was out. 
And…….

Jessica Simpson (always surprisingly cute, comfortable and fall-down-proof)

I. Die. I have such a shoe problem and can justify nearly any purchase. I was on the look out for army style booties but they didn’t have any that grabbed at my heart string as much as these did. OMG. Seriously. I’m already dressing myself and am so excited to transition into the 70’s hippie bohemian look. Or whatever. I’ll just put them next to my bed and stare at them for a couple days.
