Okay, girls. This is it. Today is the day. I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with friends and family and took time to thank God for all of your blessings!
But now? Well, now it’s Black Friday. And it’s time to SHOP OUR FACES OFF. And I have a SUPER COMPREHENSIVE post. We need to stock up on Christmas gifts, but we also need to get something for ourselves…because we deserve it. #yesmamwedo
I have some steps for you to follow to ensure Black Friday success: 1) GET SERIOUS. 2) Remember to breathe. 3) Repeat after me: It’s not about spending money, it’s about SAVING money. Repeat it like it’s a mantra. All of the ladies said “Amen”, and all of the husbands rolled their eyes….BUT WE DIDN’T EVEN NOTICE OR CARE BECAUSE THE DEALS ARE INCREDIBLE.
************************************ NORDSTROM **************************************
I think it’s only right that we kick today off at my shopping mecca. That’s right, we are starting off at Nordstrom, ladies. No code needed, just incredible deals. Some things are up to 60% OFF WHOAH. #mycreditcardjustflewoutofmywallet
Click HERE to shop the entire Nordstrom site. It’s totally worth clicking over and just doing some browsing on your own. TIP: Use the categories they break items up into to help you efficiently navigate through the sale. Or if you are looking for a particular item, just type that into the search bar on the upper right hand corner.
My v neck sweater is 60% OFF, on sale for ONLY $15.90 (and I love it in the olive color too)! That’s a crazy good deal y’all. And it comes in several other colors. It says to size down, but I went with my regular size small. The x-small was too clingy in the chest. You can obviously wear it on it’s own, but it’s also a great weight to layer under jackets.
My abalone earrings are ON SALE too (reg. $70)!
v neck sweater ON SALE/ blingy necklace/ earrings ON SALE/ ankle jeans / sneakers ON SALE/ blingy bracelets
Something super exciting about the sale this year is that a couple of things that pretty much never go on sale ARE ON SALE. Like the first must have I ever named, my must have denim jacket. WHAT? Get it! NO MORE EXCUSES.
I’ve owned this bad boy for 5 years, and I still wear it at least 1 x per week.
And here’s my newest Kut denim jacket, ALSO ON SALE! The cut is a little more generous and the wash is darker.

My simple Gorjana hoops aren’t on sale, but there are several that are, including these that are 40% OFF! Lots of Gorjana pieces are on sale HERE.
Here’s a better look at my newest denim jacket (ALSO ON SALE!). And remember, see all Kut from the Kloth jackets on sale HERE. Click HERE for the original post if you need additional information or sizing tips.
The MUST HAVE tunic is 40% OFF and comes in 10 colors.

Okay, this is huge. OUR FAVORITE COZY THROW IS NOW ON SALE and comes in 20 colors! These make EXCELLENT Christmas gifts for both men and women of all ages. From toddlers, to college kids (the burgundy is perfect for A&M and the “red couture” is perfect for OU), to grandmas. Ours is the “pink brick”. They are crazy soft and oh so cozy! Don’t buy 1. Buy at least 3. Seriously.
TONS of Kendra Scott hit the sale! We’re talking earrings, bracelets, necklaces, ALL OF IT! They even added new styles to the sale late last night.
And I’ve never seen these KS rainbow stack rings before (reg. $85), but from what I can tell, I LOVE THEM. Thinking about putting them on my Christmas list. They’re on sale too.
Y’all have been seeing these earrings on me a lot, and now they are 25% OFF! I love how big and bold they are. They make quite a statement! Heavy earrings typically bother my ears, but these don’t.

After hearing a friend talk about these chic cashmere sweaters yesterday (about how she had 2 last year and bought 4 more yesterday when then went on sale), I went ahead and hopped on the cashmere sweater train. I got the middle striped version and the plain black. I can’t wait to get them! There’s also a v neck version HERE.
The cocoon cardigan is ON SALE in two colors: the brown spice and the purple plum! Click HERE for the original post if you need additional information or sizing tips. I’m wearing the pink adobe color here, and I’m wearing an x-small, so I would suggest sizing down.
The necklace is also on sale and comes in silver too. Click HERE for all Madewell jewelry on sale.

This striped tee (that comes in solids too) is ON SALE for ONLY $11.90! Click HERE for the original post if you need additional information or sizing tips.

This Free People sweater has excellent reviews and comes in 5 colors. And now it’s 40% OFF! I’m wearing an x-small here, so you can see how large it runs. If you go with your normal size, it should definitely be long enough to wear with leggings. It’s expensive, but seems to have a bit of a cult following.
oversized turtleneck sweater / earrings / black jeans/ taupe wedge boots (also at Sole Society HERE)
This pink sweater with the wine stripe down the site is NOW ON SALE! Click HERE for the original post if you need additional information or sizing tips.
side stripe sweater / earrings / step hem jeans / heeled taupe bootie option
These UGGs are some of the best presents you can give.
All right, let’s talk about the the medium slim profile UGGs that are NOW ON SALE!!!! THEY ARE THE BEST. I mean that. Comfy for walking all day, warm as can be, and waterproof! They come in cognac, black, and grey…and I don’t think you could go wrong with any of the color choices. They are cut slimmer than the original UGGs, and they have a tiny little wedge heel. To own these boots is to love these boots. SERIOUSLY. They’re amazing.
You can find the shorter version HERE, also on sale. And the slippers HERE. You guessed it, ON SALE.
And I know I told you about both the UGGs and Blardigans on Wednesday’s post, but I just couldn’t not mention them on Black Friday.
There’s only one color left, which is the dark ombre that I have.
The original blardigan is on sale, and it’s still a favorite for me because I love how you can totally and completely wrap up in it. You know I have all blardigan styles, but this one is is the one I reach for the most to just wear around the house. The cut just makes cuddling up so dang easy!
Did you see my red cords on Wednesday’s post? If you didn’t, you need to.
Well, today I’m partnering up with Kut from the Kloth again….because I have the same cords to tell you about, but in black!
At almost 5’4″, I have found that the petite sizing works best for me. The regulars are several inches too long on me, but that’s great news for you taller ladies! They are mid rise, a relaxed fit, super soft, and extremely comfortable for all day wear. And I love that they have a great amount of stretch, but they don’t sag.
These cords are such a great alternative to jeans. AND THEY ARE ON SALE!!! For all of you that work in a school or office environment that can’t wear jeans, you have got to try these! If you’re scared of the bold colors, go with a non-assuming black or grey.

The moto jacket is a faux suede and very comfortable as well. It’s got some great reviews too, AND IT’S ON SALE TOO! I’m wearing a small in the jacket and still have room. I would consider sizing down if between sizes.
I’m excited to add this new jacket to my closet and can’t wait to wear it around town. Kut from the Kloth did it again.
And here’s a reminder for my earrings again! Remember, they are ON SALE! They are regularly $95, and still expensive while on sale, but WORTH IT. They make such a statement.
My camo jacket that I’ve been wearing for several months now is NOW ON SALE for 50% OFF! I’m wearing a small and it’s still a very relaxed fit. If you aren’t in to the camo, it comes in a solid military green as well.
My rain coat went 40% OFF. And it’s just as DARLING as it is functional. For size reference, I’m wearing a size 6. I bought it for my recent Girl’s trip to New York (click HERE to see a trip recap), but now I’m just glad to have it in my closet. At 40% OFF, this is a steal. I love the bright happy color, and it’s lined with a super cute white and navy stripe.

And here I was wearing it in New York.
My slim profile UGGs were the best choice for footwear that I could have made on this day. We were on our feet all day, it was cold, and it was raining off and on. My feet stayed warm, comfy, and dry the entire day. These boots are probably my most worn shoes in my closet once it gets cold, and they have been for the last 2 years.
rain coat ON SALE/ scarf ON SALE/cross body bag ON SALE/ ankle jeans / slim profile Uggs ON SALE
I ADORE THESE HIGH WAISTED CROP LEGGINGS, and now they are 40% OFF. They come up above my belly button, and they suck me in like crazy, while somehow still allowing me to breathe and be 100% comfortable. THEY ARE MAGIC. Once I tried the high waisted option, I have never purchased the regular rise again.
SIZING TIPS: I’m wearing a small in both the sweatshirt and the leggings. I normally size up in Zella tops, but I didn’t have to this time.

My SPANX faux leather leggings are ON SALE! In fact, tons of SPANX items are on sale HERE.

This drapey open cardigan caught my eye and this leopard print puffer is getting rave reviews.
This sweater is extremely popular and has fantastic reviews too! I’m wearing my regular small. If you size up, you might be able to wear it with leggings.
And there’s no reviews on it yet, but this chenille cowl neck sweater is speaking to me. It’s saying BUY ME NOW, WOMAN. I’m incredibly soft and darling.

LADIES! I’m working with Colleen Rothschild because she wanted to make sure y’all know about the amazing deal they are offering. THIS IS THE BIGGEST SALE ALL YEAR. The code BF2018 will get you 30% OFF your entire order at Colleen Rothschild through 11/25. WOW!
If you want to know and read all about my mom’s favorite Colleen Rothschild products (she’s 70 and looks TRULY AMAZING), click HERE. She didn’t have any of her products the first couple of weeks she was at the hospital with my dad last year, and she said she noticed such a difference in the brightness and tightness of her skin. After she started using them again, her skin bounced back.
Here’s the deal y’all…..She tried these products for the first time last year just because I wanted her to for a post, and now she is an extremely loyal user. And this woman is a skin care snob! (Which I say with love.) Haha!

That’s it for Black Friday, Ladies! PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT WITH YOUR FAVORITE SCORES!!! And I don’t know about you girls, but I’m exhausted. I PROMISE YOU MY HEART RATE WAS ELEVATED. Yes M’am. I feel quite sure I worked off the dressing…and the mashed potato casserole…and the rolls…and the creamed corn. Let’s all take a minute for the cream corn. #itdeservesrespect
I hope you snagged some amazing deals and have a wonderful weekend with friends and family. And make sure you take time to REMEMBER YOUR BLESSINGS!
p.s. Next week is going to be EPIC! I’ll be posting all 5 days next week, and you won’t even believe all of the holiday cheer that will be coming your way! Shay and I are going to go all sorts of Oprah on you. Get your minds right, girls.
Erika Slaughter says
Whoa, Sheaffer! Love ALL THE FINDS!! I’m off to shop!
Shay Shull says
I’m a little panicked and a lot excited! There are so many deals right now!!
Sheaffer says
This is exactly how I feel. Hahaha!
Narci says
I grabbed so many cute things from Old Navy thanks to you!! And, I am grabbing that throw right now as a gift for everyone! It is so soft!
Jennifer Pickett says
Just bought some more Spanx leggings. I’m obsessed with them!! About to do some more shopping! Thanks girl!!
Val says
A question for all unrelated to Black Friday- has anyone received their $25 totes from accessory concierge? I ordered some that need to be mailed in time for Christmas….I know they must be running behind with all the orders! Just wondering if they’ve started shipping out…thanks and happy shopping!
Sheaffer says
Hi,Val! The totes were pre order, which is why they were able to offer them for such an amazing price! I think about 2/3 have now shipped, and the last batch is Scheduled to ship early next week! Yay! Xoxo, Sheaffer
Kathryn says
Question about the Sims Stone Pendant Necklace. Are the beads stone or faux? I love the look and would love to purchase one, but I can’t find info listed on the beads, only the stone pendant. Thank you for this huge list… will really help me with my shopping!
Sheaffer says
They are called Howlite. Hope this helps! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Nellie AMBROSE says
You are always my go blog for gift giving…to others and….to me! The throw is a great idea…just bought a couple.
Would you ever consider telling your readers about the Walk The Ridge wristbands? Good news all around-they are inexpensive, a great stocking stuffer or package topper for anyone/everyone on your list. Most importantly they carry the message, I SEE You, I HEAR You, I RESPECT You along with the logo that holds so much symbolism. We give back to disaster relief-a cause we all can get behind.
In a world in need of civility, kindness and inclusion, when worn they hold you accountable to the practice of civility but also act as a symbol to others that you stand for being respectful within our differences and accepting people for who they are.
It’s a win-win for you, your friends and family and…the world!
I would be happy to send you some, Sheaffer. 🙂 Like you, I am a mom trying to make the world a better place.
Sheaffer says
Hi, Nellie! I’m going to look in to these bracelets! Thanks for the tip! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Whitney Forck says
Just ordered 5 of those plush blankets from Nordy’s in different colors – one for each household in our family!! Love a good deal AND a soft and cozy throw! Thanks for all of these great sales heads up!!
Emily says
Thank you for this wonderfully exhaustive post!! I think I’m going to finally take the plunge on that adorable Kut from Kloth denim jacket in the light wash – and a Kendra Scott Tassel pendant 40% off, too!!
Sheaffer says
EMILY! You will love the jacket and kick yourself for waiting so long!!!!! So glad you finally decided to go for it! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
