I literally look forward to Black Friday all year long. No, its not for the shopping, or for the turkey leftovers. I look forward to having 24 hours of uninterrupted alone time. The day after Thanksgiving every year my wonderful husband takes to kids to visit family in New Jersey, and I meet up with them on Saturday. I literally get 24 hours of alone time and it is the unbelievable.
Of course, I inevitably spend the majority of those 24 hours cleaning the house, but it is still amazing. I won’t lie, I also spend some time online shopping the amazing Black Friday deals, and I want to share with you what I was buying this year and where you can still find these items on sale.
Keep in mind, when I say “shopping” I mean from the comfort of my laptop, in sweats and with a glass of wine. All of the great deals I found are online, and TRUST ME when I say there are some great deals going on right now! So put on those sweats, kick back, pour some wine and get shopping. Now is definitely the time to save money and grab those must have clothing items and gifts (for others or yourself). I did a separate post on my favorites from LOFT – which is 50% off sitewide right now, so make sure to check that out as well. Here were my must-haves and sites you need to check out for 2019.
- A party dress (ASOS 30% of EVERYTHING) – so I need a slightly formal dress for an upcoming Holiday party. I need said dress by next weekend and of course was scrambling to try and find something online I could try on and return if I needed to. I went to ASOS to check out what they had after seeing one of my favorite blogger’s in a cute dress from there and was ecstatic to see they were offering (and still are) 30% off everything with code BIG30. Here are the options I ended up ordering:
Tiered lace dress
Sequin Mini Dress
Wine Colored Lace Dress
Velvet Broderie Dress - Abercrombie & Fitch Sale – So if you are like me hovering somewhere around the age of 40 you may have not actually shopped at Abercrombie & Fitch for close to 20 years. However, just peruse Reward Style or Instagram briefly and you will see that Abercrombie has tons of great items that are useful for more than just bar hopping and frat parties in your twenties. Their sweater collection is hard to beat. Right now, everything on their site is 40% off. Here are some of my favorites that I scored on Friday.
Eyelash V-neck Sweater
Polar Fleece Zip Sweatshirt – I am obsessed with this leopard print!
Green and Black Parka
Boatneck Sweater – it comes in so many great colors - Spanx Leggings – Okay, after I got my hands on some dresses and some sweaters, I wanted to grab a pair of the Spanx faux leather leggings everyone has been raving about. I found them on sale for 20% off at Nordstrom.
- Over the Knee Boots – I have been dying to try a pair of over the knee boots. I found this pair on sale and decided to go for it. They aren’t currently on sale but Macy’s is running a 20% of coupon with code CYBER.
- Sherling Winter Boots – I have also been eyeing up those super expensive sherling winter boots that everyone is sporting. However, at $250 and never going on sale I just couldn’t buy them. However, I found this dupe on sale for under $30 (ends Monday) and they are amazing! The reviews are great too.
- Kids Winter Jackets – Not everything I bought was for myself. I also scored some winter jackets for the kids, finding Northface coats for both my son and daughter at 25% off! Dicks Sporting Goods is having a 25% off everything sale through Monday, and this includes Northface, Hydroflask, whatever you can think of so make sure to check it out!
Girls Winter Coat
Boys Winter Coat - Holiday Clothes and Shirts – I also picked up some cute holiday shirts and dresses for the kiddos. Target is running an excellent deal of 30% of clothing PLUS an extra 15% off online! I grabbed snow pants, snow boots and able graphic Christmas shirts for my son for under $5. I also scored adorable dresses and leggings for the girls (see below). Old Navy is also having a 50% off sale and I got some cute things there.
- The “I really wanted to buy list” – There were a couple of items on sale that I really, REALLY wanted to buy but that were just not in my budget after hitting up all the above. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t check them out!
Sorel Wedge Boots – I just love these boots, and I have had my eye on them for awhile. I just cant pull the trigger though, even though they are 25% off at Nordstrom right now.
Tory Burch Flip-flops – I feel like its crazy to buy flip-flops in November, but spring break me would be really excited that I scored these on sale – 33% off to be exact!
Tory Burch Cross Body Bag – This bag is 50% off right now, and gorgeous. I really want it. I may still buy this tomorrow, lol.
Happy Cyber Monday shopping my friends!
