December Haul + Bread Crumb Pork Tenderloin Recipe

This month's haul is a continuation of last month's since I got another pair of H&M pants because I liked them so much. I shopped some more off ads/influencers but the only other things I kept are a pair of rain booties, a romper from AE, and a pair of sandals from Target that were on sale for $6.49.

As mentioned, I liked these H&M pants so much I decided to buy them full price in green but I didn't like them as much as the original. I did, however, get these Black Ankle-Length Pants, which I did keep and would be great for Spring and Summer since they feel like linen.

I really wanted to get the Abercrombie Vegan Leather Puffer Vest in Light Brown since the jacket didn't work out for me and it would be perfect to wear when I go out to play handball in this winter weather but that color was unfortunately sold out so I got it in regular black. I also picked up the popular Asymmetrical Snap-Up Fleece and this Fleece Half-Zip Vest but they all unfortunately didn't work out for me. I didn't love the vest or fleece so have high hopes for an Amazon vest I have coming. I did like this but it's not comfortable to play handball in, which is when I would wear this piece the most.

While browsing on Instagram, I saw these cute Roxy Sheila Platform Sneakers and was convinced I had to have them but when getting them and the purple mini-skirt I needed to get free ship, they unfortunately didn't look any better than the Target ones I got over the summer.

Lastly, I was influenced to get these black pull-on boots, which are what I prefer but the platform is just too chunky for my taste.
