More important than Black Friday or Cyber Monday today is GIVING TUESDAY!!!!   Have you heard of this?   I love it!!   It’s a good reminder that as we shell out so much money for ourselves and our loved ones during this crazy shopping season we also need to think of those in need.   I made a donation to the Michael J. Fox Foundation in honor of the occasion because my Dad has been suffering from Parkinson’s Disease for many decades.  If you are looking for ideas of how you can give to others (through generosity of material goods or kindness) I made a whole post about ideas for showing gratitude and kindness earlier this month.

I ordered about 8 things over the Cyber weekend shopping.  Not too bad considering all the sales I browsed to do my shopping round-ups.  I bought most of it during the pre Black Friday sales (in fear that my size might sell out) and my first package came today.   It was like Christmas came early.  I got 2 items from Express that I hope to share later this week.   Today I am sharing some casual off the shoulder sweater outfits.

The denim I am wearing above is “sculpting denim”.  It’s VERY stretchy but doesn’t stretch out as you wear it.   I love it but it sucks you all in – including in the rear so it pancakes my flabby bum a little.  I don’t mind that but my husband noticed it.

The sweaters above are one-size which can be tricky depending on your body type.  Therefore I am linking some other off the shoulder and slouchy sweaters I like below:

OK!  Now you have more important things to do than online shop – go give back 😉

    What size are you normally and what size did you order?

    I’m a 7 and I ordered a 38 but now am thinking I should change to one more size up before they come.
