Christmas Tree Shopping…

cowl neck cable sweater (I’m wearing a size small) // similar AG jeans // pearl earrings

A nice handbag is an investment piece. You can wear it for years and it never ages or goes out of style. At least, that is how I feel about this Tory Burch Robinson tote that you have seen me wear time and time again! I love this classic handbag because it is exactly that: classic. I can’t even stress enough how much I love this bag… It practically carries my whole life in it – ha! Nordstrom is the place I go to when I’m looking for a high quality handbag. Their selection of bags, designers and price points is unmatched (plus free shipping & returns – always – can’t beat that!). 
Anyways, I wore this outfit on a trip to a local Charlotte Christmas tree lot… there is almost no better place in the world, if you ask me! My boyfriend Chris is done with his semester of grad school tomorrow, so I am actually dragging him to take Christmas photos this weekend haha. He is being a good sport about it (and even letting me dress him) so we will see how that goes! Wish us luck!

  22. Love going to get the Christmas tree.

    Slightly off topic, I was wondering if you could do a post on accessories for you new toggle coat from Nordstrom? I bought the coat and am not certain as to what hat, scarf, and gloves would look best with it. Maybe red leather gloves with a white hat and scarf set? Or maybe something plaid?
