The First Holiday Post

$35 Fair Isle Sweater (It also comes in a $40 dress version!) / $19.99 Suede/Sherpa C.Wonder Sneakers / $13 Quilted C.Wonder Bag / $45 Quilted Trench Coat / Mitch’s Birdseye Sweater / Mitch’s $19 Pants

It’s Christmas in Chicago! The trees and lights are up and the streets are bustling—and just like that, the city is in full-blown holiday mode.

The girls went down to my in-laws for a few days last week over their Thanksgiving break, so Mitch and I had a little time to ourselves. Yes, we crammed as much work in as possible 😆, but we were also able to get out and take in the sights. Michigan Avenue was my favorite excursion! (It was also in the 50s, which made things extra fun.)

I wore some favorites from Free Assembly and C.Wonder. I feel like I’m constantly in awe when I receive their products (and Scoop’s products); everything is so cute and in-style, yet the prices are c.wonderfully low. (See what I did there?) And talk about the holiday collections! They’re awesome. I mean, we can’t forget the stunning $27.99 tartan pumps. Still shook regarding that find. 😉 (See my other favorites above!)

Some details:

$35 Fair Isle Sweater: It’s a warm one! I love the high turtleneck and the use of colors that will work well after the holidays. It also comes in navy and a $40 dress version! (In both cream and navy.)

$19.99 Suede/Sherpa C.Wonder Sneakers: You last saw these on the blog in this post! They’re exceptionally comfy and warm, and you can’t beat the price. I went up a half size.

$13 Quilted C.Wonder Bag: I always say this, but remember when these bags were along the lines of $150 in Soho in NYC?! I love that they’re such a better deal now, and that they often go on sale. I gave one to my sister-in-law last year, and now she’s hooked on the line, too.

$45 Quilted Trench Coat: This was such a cute find, and perfect for temps in the 50s! The deep pockets are great for carrying around mom essentials, and the tie allows me to cinch it all in for a feminine look. Size down.

Mitch’s Birdseye Sweater + $19 Pants: I’ve wanted to get Mitch a Birdseye sweater for the longest time, but they’re usually very expensive and I could never pull the trigger on it since my husband hates half of what I buy him. (But also refuses to shop for himself. 😜) Size down on this one, too. It’s on the larger side.

The best part is that everything showed up on my doorstep within three days, and returns are easy and free! And I really can’t wait to show you my next holiday outfit from Free Assembly/C.Wonder. They’re some of my favorite in-the-spirit photos we’ve ever taken. Stay tuned. :)
