But do I really need them? Christmas season is tricky, because it's harder to justify buying things for myself when I could be buying gifts for my family/loved ones with that same money.

Sigh. Whine whine whine.

In any case, for a while I have had my eye on these such things for winter:

• gray suede boots
• this gray and black plaid jacket from Old Navy, oh I love it so
• scarves! this one especially, in bean sprout, but also this one in marshmallow and this one in light heather gray.
• a lightweight military blazer
• a colorful puffy vest, in oceanside or bright blue
• a warm hat with earflaps (I can't find one online that I want)
• thermals, sucka!
