Christmas Purchases



My dear, darling sister, an avid blog reader who saw my Christmas wishes, gave me an Anthropologie gift card for Christmas this year. So Mr. Grubbs and I braved the mall madness to go and stimulate the economy with a little shopping. Armed with my free money and a little more from a very sweet relative, I was ready to spend. But the only problem was that the store is completely amazing and I couldn't choose. See I'm a thrifty gal, so I am not used to spending upwards of $60-100 on ONE shirt- don't misunderstand, Anthro has AMAZING clothes that are worth the money, it just isn't my daily routine to spend so much, but I was ready for the task. But then I couldn't decide if I wanted to be mindful and get 2 less expensive things or one really great piece. I found this adorable shirt that I feel in love with:



Then a dilemma arose. I also found this necklace that I also had to have but would put me over my limit:



To the rescue, Mr. Grubbs!! He bought the necklace for me, so sweet! Now I have a gorgeous new outfit to indulge myself in. I think I'll pair my lovelies with some matchstick jeans, tall boots and a cinched belt. Perfect! I hope to visit Anthropologie soon, I'm saving my pennies!!
