What to Wear Christmas Shopping for Under €140!

Ok, so it's Friday and I am going to hazard a guess that this weekend you might be thinking in dabbling in some Christmas shopping? Braving the crowds filling up the shops, with customers eager to get through the list of socks for Dad, a bag for Mum and gift vouchers for the siblings.

One thing is for sure, is that you will do a significant amount of walking and carrying shopping bags while negotiating buggies and queues at the cash desk. So, you most certainly need to be comfortable. So what does one wear Christmas shopping?

Right, here are my top tips. The right footwear is a priority. Flats, or a small heel for support are the features of the perfect shopping shoe or boot. Or, you can opt for my favourite option: the chic sneak. Runners are my favourite thing to wear right now, and I'm having a small obsession with the dressie ones. Wear these with some skinny jeans (with a bit of give) and that's the lower half taken care of.

Tops wise, layering is essential. Stick to light-ish knits under a comfy jacket or light coat so that you don't overheat in the heat of the shops. Over the shoulder bags are the best to keep your hands free to carry your purchases.
