A very niche black friday list
I've shopped every sale and selected way more than a few favorites that I think are worth the buy
It’s the most stressful time of year, Black Friday shopping. If you’re like me you’ve planned out your buys at least a month in a half in advance and are a seasoned discount shopper. If you’re not a shopping addict, Black Friday week can feel very overwhelming so I have picked out my favorite sales and a few key items that I think are worth a buy.
Before we begin, a few rules I follow when doing any shopping especially during Black Friday.
Would I buy this at full price?
Pitfall #1 of all sale shopping is becoming overwhelmed with a discount. If you didn’t like it at $100, you won’t like it more at $75!
Can I wear this with 3 different outfits? The key detail being it has to be with things that you already own
This rule has a couple of exceptions so if you can’t make 3 outfits, try thinking of 3 events you could wear it to.
1 for 1: Is there something in my closet that I can sell or donate to make space for something new?
1The top 3 sales I will be shopping
Doen: up to 65% off select items
- Items to buy: The only time I shop Doen is during the sales so I have too many favorites to include, here are my top 10: silk dress, midi dress, maxi dress, maxi dress #2 sling back heel, bow mules, pointelle tank, pointelle cardigan, feminine top, plaid shorts.
Heaven Mayhem: 30% off sitewide
- Items to buy: Try a pendant necklace or earrings, two great statement pieces that will work season to season.
Mango: 30% off when you spend $220 + with code EXTRA30
- Items to buy: Be warned that there are some exclusions to this sale! Here are some of my favorites - velvet top (soon to be featured on a holiday dressing guide), bomber jacket, leather skirt, pleated skirt, studded jeans, shoulder bag, pocket bag.
Department Stores
Farfetch: extra 20% off select items
- Items to buy: This Ami beanie is a great gift for anyone who’s name maybe starts with an A. Every time I buy a new pair of jeans I am looking for the next great pair like these Agolde carpenter jeans. This Blumarine tee is a great way to style your party mini skirt.
MyTheresa: Up to 50% off select items
- Items to buy: Live you Lizzy McGuire dreams with this halter. Shop early for spring and summer with this Ulla Johnson tank.
Shopbop: 25% off select items
- Items to buy: My biggest hack with department store shopping is saving my favorite items each time they drop “new arrivals” so that when sales come around I only have to search my favorites. Some of my recent favorites are this suede bag, pajama set, lelet pony cuff, mock neck fleece, Ganni jacket, bikini (not having to try on a swimsuit is the only thing that brings me peace when spending $200).
Ssense: up to 50% off select items
- Items to buy: Can someone please buy me this bag! Or maybe one of these Sandy Liang tops? (1 and 2)
