This Is My Now: My Weekend

So, just a warning, this might be a long post as I've had quite the eventful Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

Friday after work I was planning on stopping by Old Navy with my 30% off Friends and Family coupon. I mentioned this to my boss, so she decided that we (her, the two girls, and I) could stop by the shop near her work. In my mind I didn't really see this being a problem, but I guess I have never shopped with the girls and their mom. Usually it's just us three and I do a decent job of keeping them close and away from merchandise. I was completely wrong. I have never been so stressed during a shopping trip! After spending about 30/45mins with them, they left and I had the chance to pick out clothes for myself. Before heading to the fitting room, my dad texted and wanted to meet up for dinner. I decided to just purchase what I had in my bag and try them on when I got home. I bought a pair of jeans, two sweaters, and two coats. I ended up keeping the pair of jeans and this coat:

*sorry for the stern look :-)*

The coat was originally $79.94, but with the sale & coupon I got it for $30!

It's a little shorter than I normally like my jackets to be, but I love the color and pattern! I looked ALL weekend for a mustard scarf to go with... no luck :-( Please let me know if you've seen any around lately! If I don't find a mustard scarf, I'm thinking fuchsia or teal? Suggestions?

Saturday morning I planned to visit quite a few stores. I had a major collection of items to be returned and wanted to get some $$ back with the holidays coming up! My first stop was Marshalls (<3). After returning two tops I bought for my halloween costume that didn't work, I purchased this beauty:

I wasn't in love with the way it looked over my shirt, so I tried it on with just a tank under and knew I had to have it! I think it will look great over a thin long sleeve tee or even under a cardigan or blazer. The beading & sparkles scream holiday season!

I spent quite a bit of time at the mall after Marshalls looking for a mustard scarf and returning things. Many stores had quite the deals, but I guess I just wasn't in a bargain hunting mood. Despite having purchased nothing at the mall, besides my free pair of VS panties, it was nice to return unwanted clothing.

Today I needed to go by Michaels and Kohl's and knew my mother would tag along! We had a wonderful day shopping. This Thanksgiving I'm headed out of town with my boyfriend to meet his family. I wanted to bring something along for them as a thank-you for having me sort of thing. At first I thought about cookies & a candle, but that just seemed so typical. I have now decided to make an ornament for each "family" of my boyfriends- aunts, uncles, and grandparents. I only have a few weeks so I need to get cracking incase something goes wrong!

Got two new nighties at Kohl's

These are the patterns :-)

My best purchase of the weekend was at Bath and Body Works! Today ended their Buy 3, Get 3 Free sale! I also had a $10 off a $30 purchase so I stocked up on old scents and got a few new ones as well.

Sensual Amber Triple Moisture Body Cream, Winter Candy Apple Triple Moisture Body Cream, Adorable Soap Dispenser cover, Twilight Woods for Men Body Wash, Black Raspberry Vanilla Body Lotion, Sensual Amber Body Lotion, and Vanilla Bean Noel Body Lotion. All for under $30! I'm ready for the fall and winter with these wonderful scents!
