I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends and took time to thank God for all of your blessings!
I had the best time with my extended family for lunch yesterday, and then we drove down to the ranch to hang with my husband’s family! We’ve had the best time!
But now? Well now It’s Black Friday.
We need to stock up on Christmas gifts, but we also need to get something for ourselves….because we deserve it. 🙂
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 a mantra.
And all of the ladies said “Amen”.
And all of the husbands rolled their eyes.
But we don’t care about that today,
BECAUSE IT’S BLACK FRIDAY AND THERE ARE DEALS TO BE HAD!
Anyhoo…
Shopping is SO much more fun with girlfriends, and I hope you’ll see that I’ve made Black Friday easier to navigate for all of your shopping needs!
LET’S! GET! STARTED!
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.
There’s lots on regular ol’ sale, but there’s also A TON of items that are showing EXTRA SAVINGS!
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!
Almost everything in the collage below is ON SALE and an additional % OFF!
LOVE ME SOME EXTRA SAVINGS!!!!
I went back through some old pics and found myself in the above pea coat!
The glitter studs are on sale as well! 30% OFF!
Do you have a holiday party coming up, but still don’t have a dress?
For size reference, I’m wearing a small in the dress.
I absolutely loved this dress and thought it was fun paired with the fringe crossbody (in bronze)!
And if you already have the jasper and druzy pendant, well then this dress is
pretty much a no brainer. 🙂
with some with EXTRA SAVINGS!
TONS of Kendra Scott is on sale HERE,
and some of the items qualify for EXTRA SAVINGS!!!
And you can choose from 80+ Gifts with Purchase from Bobbi Brown, Kiehl’s, Clinique, Estee Lauder, and more…but quantities are limited!
I’ve also found some AWESOME things for guys…
And I like stupid prices. 😉
similar camo pants / arrow necklace / circle hoop earrings / similar taupe booties
cushion cut bracelet / spiky gold bracelet (both bracelets 30% OFF with code THANKFUL)
And now they are available with EXTRA SAVINGS (including some druzy ones)!
Click HERE.
similar boots (ON SALE! and in a wide calf version as well)
For size reference, I’m wearing a medium (I ordered the medium to make sure it was long enough), but I actually think the small is going to be better on my 5’4″ frame. This top is inexpensive, and I’m thinking about ordering it for myself in the navy pea coat (more like a turquoise) in a small! It’s even a bit longer in the back than it is in the front, but there are slits on the side, so you’ll definitely want to wear a long cami or tank under it. Make sure you look at the side view online to see what I’m talking about!
Seriously. Near perfect reviews.
Another infinity scarf under $10 HERE.
I’m thinking it is going to be WELL WORTH your time to just spend a little time clicking around on the Nordstrom site. WHO KNOWS what you mind find on sale!?!

And you probably want to check THIS cowl neck tunic out . It’s the same fabric as the tunic I’m wearing, and it’s so cute with the stripes and cowl!

For size reference, I’m wearing a small in both the tunic and the leggings (so I think they are both true to size). I’m also wearing a 6 1/2 in the boot, which is true to size as well.
If you want to read my full reviews of both the tunic and the leggings, click HERE.
THIS new sweater reminds me very much of my sister’s sweater that we all fell in love with!

It’s a great basic that goes with pretty much everything. It goes with every color you can think of, and it can be worn with totally casual outfits (like jeans and a tee), and even outfits that are much dressier! (I obviously tend to just jazz up a casual outfit with it.)

drusy bracelet / pyrite bracelet
I was told it wouldn’t go live until 10 am CST, so just head to the site and look, around for it since I couldn’t grab a link.
ONLY WHILE SUPPLIES LAST.
Here’s another idea I have for the necklace….what if you had your hubby, or maybe one of your kids writes something like “love” or “family” or “blessed”. How cool would that be to wear a sweet word in a loved ones handwriting?!?
My sunglasses c/o Panda.
It’s a great necklace that is fun with a tee and jeans, but also looks great with a cocktail dress!

And I don’t know about you girls….
but I’m exhausted…
because after all, shopping is my cardio.
And I get that most people don’t consider shopping cardio..especially ONLINE shopping….
BUT I PROMISE YOU MY HEART RATE WAS ELEVATED.
and the creamed corn….
OH MY AT THE CREAMED CORN.
I hope you girls snagged some AMAZING deals and have a wonderful and relaxing weekend with friends and family!
Last year lots of people left comments about the deals that they scored and it was fun to see! I’m super nosy so I love to know what everybody bought! 🙂
p.p.s.
I’ll be posting all 5 days next week, and you won’t believe 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.
And start thinking lucky thoughts.
🙂
Erin and Josh says
Thanks for searching out all these good deals! I was trying to apply the code for the penny boots on the Sam Edelman site and it's saying those are excluded from the sale. Even though it says the code is site-wide. Anyone have any luck getting it to work?
Sheaffer says
Hi Erin! Well, dang! I went ahead and took them off the post since it looks like they are excluded. So sorry I got your hopes up!!!! 🙁 xoxo, Sheaffer
Ashlee Sandstrom says
Thank You!!! This post is amazing and so very helpful!
Elizabeth says
Thanks for making my life easier!! (And my husbands harder?)
Anonymous says
I couldn't get the Sam Edelman code to work on the boots or flats:( But I was able to purchase the $10 initial necklace from BaubleBar early.
Sheaffer says
Sorry about the Sam Edelman code. 🙁 It looks like they were both excluded. I went ahead and took them off the post. SO SORRY! xoxo, Sheaffer
Lisa B says
Hey Sheaffer- great post! So many great deals. Do you have the Bauble Bar initial pendant? Just wondering how "gold" it is…on the website it looks very gold, almost too much? Thanks! xo
Sheaffer says
Hi Lisa! I don't have it, so I have no idea! So sorry I can't help! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
kimm atwood says
Thanks for putting this post together ! That tunic is coming my way! I mean $17!!! Enjoy your weekend !!!
Natalie says
I got the red rain boots you mentioned recently for under $40! I also scored a blue pair of the must have earrings.
Stephanie Zapata says
I snagged the Black Friday $10 buried bauble initial necklace for my "15 going on 25" year old step-daughter that I never know just what to get her. I know she'll love this! Thanks!!
Erin says
Your mom's cardi would be a great Christmas present for my sister, but I need size help! She's normally a med in tops and 8 in pants so should I get a med. cardi or up it to large since its outerwear? How big is your mom? Thanks!
Sheaffer says
Hi Erin! My mom is tiny (5'6" but probably only weights about 120 pounds). I think maybe a large, since my mom got a medium. Hope this helps! xoxo, Sheaffer 🙂
Sarah Kuykendall says
If you're looking for inexpensive, but still cute, clothes, Target has 40% off all clothes!
Nadia A says
I didn't see a link for the TX shirt…love it!
Cori Patrick says
Shaeffer, I was reading the beginning of your post to my extended family this morning (yea for family sleepovers!) and as if on cue, my hubby rolled his eyes about the shopping. We all laughed really hard! Jokes on him. Thanks for keepin' it real and keepin' us laughing till we pee our pants!
Megan says
Thank you for putting together this post! I have been a bit overwhelmed with all the sales!!
Kristen says
Lou and Gray Signature Soft line – I am IN.LOVE! Bought the tunic in black and charcoal last week on your recommendation and paid full price at the Lou & Gray store for the spacedye cowl neck which was PERFECT for thanksgiving day with leggings (stretchy waistband, ya know!). I am going to LIVE in this line all winter! LOVE!!!
Debbie says
Your post reminded me this line is a great one for a gift for my mother, thank you!
Christina says
Such great deals! Yesterday I found select colors of the BP stud earring for 2.98 and snagged the colbot blue. I also got the BP faux fur infinity scarf for 8.98. Super excited about this happy mail!! Last year I bought the bobeau one button cardi in a small and am always unsure about the fit. Now I'm wishing I would have sized up. Does it drap better that way? Im only a little bigger than your mom. I saw Cassie (hi sugarplum) signed up too.
Anonymous says
My goodness! So many deals!! Very excited about Accessory Conceiege code! And what size do you recommend for the Hue leggings for someone who is a 26 waist? Do they stretch? Blessings!!
Sheaffer says
Hi! I'm not sure if small or x small would be better for you. I'm a 27 and wear a small, but there is still some stretch left in the waist. But they don't stretch out or sag during the day. Maybe x small?

Thank you!!
Kim says
Shaeffer, I absolutely love your blogs, posts, and witty comments! You are making me a very cutely dressed poor mom!! I am going with the BOGO theme for Christmas…buy one get one for me! I am desperately looking for a navy blue comfy leather flat I could wear year round! I would love any suggestions! Thanks for all your posts !
Nicole says
Check out the Vince Camuto 'Ellen' flats…they come in navy leather. 🙂
Jes0586 says
Oh MY has this day been amazing, from my recliner, in my jammies. I snagged SOOO many great deals. Let's start with what I got for myself. I recently lost 15 pounds (Through the 21 day fix from Beachbody) so I bought a few pairs of jeans from Gap since they are 50% off. I also got the Pleione Split Neck Top, free people swing top, and the hinge shift dress. For my boyfriend i got a ton of under armor that he can use for work, and the slippers. I am NOT DONE YET!!!
KatDinsmore says
I found the Bauble Bar initial pendant necklace by hovering over the word 'necklace' on the task bar at the top of their website, thanks!
Kristen says
I bought the faux leather Kut from the Kloth cardigan, the halogen cashmere v-neck sweater in red, the scarf and the kate spade earrings. Thank you for your post. I have been loving Loft also but had already bought (plum raisin basketweave sweater for under $30, $20 boyfriend cardigan, and $30 ponte leggings)what I wanted there. I have been debating on the cognac boots and taupe booties. I love how they look on you but I always feel like they make my feet look so big! I also bought some gift sets at L'Occitane. Buy 3, get 1 free plus $43 gift set for $16. I will split them up to give as little stocking stuffers and for my employees. Thank you!
Laura J says
I was really hoping the baby blardigan would go on sale! I've got the big sister ( loooove it) hoping for the baby 😉
allisonwest says
I just emailed my picks to my MIL and purposely overbought for sisters in law from accessory concierge so I could give a few gifts and keep something for myself once they arrive! Sorry not sorry!!
Thanks for doing this I too was overwhelmed by the sales.
Neille says
Thanks for the recommendation for the Kut from the Kloth cords. I bought two pairs on sale after this post and they have become my go-to non jean pant to wear to work! I am even going to post them as one of my favorite things on my blog Something To Share With You! Thanks!
