Chicago...wedding...shopping...quality time.

This past weekend, my wife and I headed up to Chi-town for my best friend Brian's wedding.  Hadn't ever been to the suburbs before...it felt like every mile I drove I was in a different city, which half the time was correct...Wedding went well and the day after the wedding we decided to do some shopping (of course), although mom and dad zeller tagged along this time.

Unfortunately I've had to hold back since good old St. Nick is coming up...have to give my wife some things to stick under that tree.  So I picked up this shirt and cords at the B&M store.

My temptation gave in on this next purchase though, I had been eyeing this shirt for the past month or two and when it went on sale plus 20% off and free shipping I splurged.  Only problem was it wasn't online so I had my PS find it for me.  Just got it in the mail the other day and the thickness and quality is def worth more than the traditional J. Crew shirt.  

So after going nuts and splurging on those three items I decided to and "save" some money.  Two new fav stores are H&M thanks to my wife and Lands End/Lands End Canvas.  The vest here I picked up from LE for $15....yes I said that right $15...not bad for some fall wear, and to this point it's got great use out of it.  This was in their overstock section.

I think should tide me over for now.....
