I don't know about you, but I'm so indecisive around Christmas time. I guess you make so many choices when getting presents for everyone, that simple choices suddenly feel like someone telling you to go for a hike on a Monday morning. One thing that I feel the most Indecisive about, is should I treat myself at Christmas time. I'm a mum of two young boys, and whenever it comes to treating myself I get the 'mum guilt' it's awful. My boys are swimming in stuff, and yet whenever I buy something I feel the guilt monster up on my shoulder.
This year however, I'm breaking this habit and getting myself a couple of treats. I have no Christmas parties to look forward to, which for most would be a fabulous excuse to treat yourself right and get a party frock and heels. I do like the advert calendars, but again just can't decide *face palm which one I would enjoy. So to ease my guilt monster I though about some sassy, but practical 'basics'. Because really, treats aren't suppose to be basic and these are anything but!
Jumper: Preen -Designers at Debenhams*
Printed Bag: Floosie*
I'm all about red this season, as you know I got a fab red puffy jacket. So when I spotted this gorgeous Preen jumper - With pink flared cuffs, I knew this was the type of treat that I had to have. It's got a stretch to it, perfect for all the mince pies I've already started scoffing. As I'm having a bit of a wardrobe melt down at the moment, I'm trying to buy things that fit me better and are I guess a little more grown up. I love playful prints, and colour as you know. But I think I what to start to refine it a bit more, which for me is going to be hard.
I absolutely love this bag, it has this stunning print of lipsticks, rings and hearts. It's still fun, but not as out there as what I usually go for. I think treating myself to some new things will help me let go of a lot of my older stuff. I'm such a hoarder and keep things forever. But I think it's time to move on, I'm looking forward to 2018 and building a new wardrobe, a more grown up (still with colour and fun). If this means treating myself and slashing out a little more, then I shouldn't feel guilty about that. Neither should you, yes it's Christmas and it's about giving. Which I'm sure you all are, but who's to say you don't deserve a treat yourself. It's been a rough year and I think everyone deserves to have some fun and enjoy their December. Do you get the guilt monster? Have you treated yourself lately, I'd love too know.
