I rarely get to spend what I want on stylish items for myself.
I am more of a window shopper which means that, if you chill with me on Instagram, you will see me in stores trying on clothing and shoes and such quite often, but very little of it gets to find its forever home with me.
I just like to explore. And find out what fits me well. And dream. And plan for the days when DudeDad says hit me with your gift list (December, for obvious reasons, and May because birthday, Mother’s Day, and wedding anniversary are all jammed in there).
This year, I asked first for a Roomba.
I know, it’s a vacuum.
But, I HATE cleaning and, since I developed tennis elbow, vacuuming and sweeping are a degree of torture my brain can’t regularly fathom. As is watching my children as they, in an effort to be helpful, do their version of the chore that leaves at least 88% of the dog hair trapped in the corners.
I can not.
Dog hair in the corners geeks me out.
So, I asked for a ridiculously unglamorous gift that will be functional in ways nothing else really will.
I asked for stylish things too though and, in an effort to inspire your style for the next few months, I also asked some other fashion loving mothers what women want this holiday season.
Time to write to Santa, ladies!

DudeMom’s picks…
1. Stitch Fix Gift Card. It means next month, when they send me something I love as usual, I will be able to buy it without worry! I am a huge, huge fan of Stitch Fix and am so happy I joined.
2. Fossil crossbody bag. I just think this one is so versatile and the perfect size. I’ve been carrying my things in a shopping tote for months now, time for an upgrade.
3. Bogs boots. I am so much in love with these boots! Perfect for winter and so, so cute! I told DudeDad that, next to the Roomba, this is what I want most!
4. This disk necklace. I jumped on Boden to buy Dude 3 a holiday sweater and could not stop clicking on the jewelry. So many cute pieces.
5. Flannel sleep joggers. There are few things I am loving more right now than some comfy sleepy time pants. And, since I spend all day in them during the holiday season, might as well have a decent looking pair! Added bonus, these are on sale for about $20 right now!
