Happy Thanksgiving! I'm getting on this Black Friday list a little early because the sales are already happening. But first, I thought it worth mentioning that my Avec Les Filles leopard jacket is now $75 at Amazon (which is not really a Black Friday deal, but still a deal!) Also, my Esska boots are on sale because of course they are. Now, onto the main list, which will probably change, but this is where it stands right now:
Every year I try to compile a list of some of the better online Black Friday deals because and I've already seen a few that I think are outstanding. I should also mention they're hurting my feelings A LOT because I can't take advantage of all of these sales! Here's one that made me whimper:
I've been wearing my workout stuff a lot more since I'm working from home, and, you guys, Sweaty Betty is offering 30% off EVERYTHING. I, for one, am very invested in stalking these leopard leggings. Ugh.
Madewell really, really, really wants me to buy stuff. It's getting kind of stalker-y, really. Like, right now they're giving 30% off your purchase and up to 50% off a bunch of the newer stuff (but only if you're an Insider, which you should be! Free shipping and stuff!) Here are a few things that I ABSOLUTELY DO NOT NEED:
Ugh, can we start with this? I love the cabernet color with all my heart. Such a lovely bag.
This is probably the second or third time I've posted these. But that lug sole, y'all. I love it.
Welcome to the first dress that's turned my head in a while. It's got a bit of metallic going on,
which makes it festive but it's still so wearable. Hmm.
These are just so sweet with the little cloud and the fresh water pearl. So pretty!
This might be the wash that gets me back into skinny jeans. It's just so rock'n roll.
I keep scrolling past this jacket, then slooooowly coming back to it.
It's a little weird but still compelling?
Okay, this cozy sweater with some skinny jeans and those lug sole boots, right?
THAT IS IT RIGHT THERE.
Goddammit, Madewell. STOP MAKING ME WANT LEOPARD THINGS.
Oooh, fancy sweatshirt, you say? Sign me up every single time.
J.Crew is giving clothes away again - offering an extra 60% off sale styles with code SHOPSALE. I pawed through all twenty pages of the sale section to find the good stuff! Here's what I like:
So, yeah. I'm wearing the same pair of (quite excellent) jeans multiple times a week and some kind of t-shirt and cardigan combo but I promise I'm really trying to put together an actual outfit every day. Also, continuing with my current theme, I'm trying to add in one special or cool item that might not be entirely practical - a leopard jacket, fun statement earrings, OR the coolest boots on the planet:
Yep, I bought em. What, you thought I just enabled you guys? I also enable myself ALL THE TIME. If I didn't there wouldn't be a blog to write. But first things first, I guess. I'm wearing a perfectly basic black tee from Madewell - it's exactly the kind of long sleeved cotton tee I'm always looking for and I'll probably buy more. My jeans my older Madewell Boyjeans but this current version looks like a very similar wash and this black denim version is 30% off.
My long cardigan is the Juliette cardigan from J.Crew and it's honestly magic - you can throw it over any old thing and it instantly makes you look pulled together. Works every time, I swear. (See above.) It comes in a bunch of colors too! I will eventually get another one, but for now my charcoal Juliette is working out nicely. The Sophie cardigan is another great magic option if you want something a bit more blazer-y. Now, the boots:
I mean, how could I not. With that Bowie-esque lightning bolt? They were 100% made for me! These are the Esska Mash boots I posted about pretty recently and they come in several heel height options. I went for the mid heel which suits me perfectly. The color in real life isn't a true red- it's more of a persimmon/brick which makes them a lot more interesting! I bought them as a Christmas present for myself so I haven't worn them out yet, but I couldn't resist showing you all. (I will pack them away until the 25th because it's nice to have something to look forward to, right?)
In an effort to use my nice things, I bought my favorite Miu Miu bag out for a stroll. I'd honestly forgotten how much I love it! Such a thing of beauty. It's long gone from the internets but this Coach hobo has a similar pebbly appeal and oooh, look at this beauty. That is a nice bag.
Y'all, I'm so dumb. I wrote that entire Anthro post and totally missed that my very favorite yoga mat (which I talked about it here) is also on crazy sale! I didn't even know Anthro carried B Mat but they do and this yoga mat, which is normally $96 is now just under $42 (discount in cart):
It's nice and thick and your hands will absolutely not slide at all. Also, fun colors. Treat Yo Self!
