SuperSix: Christmas edition

Some affordable fashion options to buy — or ask for

By Kelly Hockenberry, Columnist, The Times

UTKellyColumn copyCan you believe that Christmas is only eighteen days away? I feel like we’ve barely finished eating turkey! The Hockenberry’s do not have a tree or any decorations around the house. I don’t know what we’re waiting for but I procrastinate these things until the last possible minute.

I’m sort of grinchy like that. (Surprise!)

I always seem to rally for shopping, though. So, in the spirit of the season, I have assembled my Christmas version of the Sunday Super Six. I tried (really hard) to keep the price tag under 50 bucks with the exception of one, tiny bracelet. Impressive, huh?

1. Sparkle Sweatpants from the GAP ($50): Leave it to me to find “comfortable” clothes that are fancy! Dress them up with heels or wear them casually with a black bootie, they will be a winter staple.

2. Sugar Paper Notebooks from West Elm ($10 to $18): I know that you can take notes on your phone and a laptop is never far from reach, but there is something so enticing about cute office supplies. Stripes and polka dots? You had me at hello. (Don’t forget to add a cool pen)

3. Cell Phone Case from ASOS ($15): This is adorable, right? I do not have the latest and greatest iPhone 6 extra large…and, I’m sure my kids will get one long before I do…so, this case fits the 5.

4. C Wonder Sunglasses Pom Hat ($48): I am a warm-weather type gal. However, I do enjoy a winter accessory. Hats, like this one, make me happy.

5. Coordinates Collection Meridian Bracelet (starts at $214): OK, here is my exception to the $50 or less but, I couldn’t leave it out. These baubles (which come in a variety of options) document the coordinates of places near and dear to your heart. Isn’t that romantic? Love, love, love.

6. Old Navy Fair Isle Open Front Cardi ($49 with an additional 25% off!): A girl can never have enough sweaters. Take a peek inside my closet if you think I’m lying. This longer, boyfriend style is perfect with leggings and boots.

How far along are you with your Christmas list? I hope my suggestions help. Print it out and leave it on your sweetie’s pillow.

Happy Weekend!
