EARLY BLACK FRIDAY DEALS! Time to Start Shopping!

So do y’all remember when Black Friday was only in stores and it was actually on the Friday after Thanksgiving?

WELL NOT ANYMORE, KIDS. Now it’s online at every single retailer you can think of AND most of the sales start at least a week earlier now. It’s crazy.

And I have to tell ya… part of me is annoyed by it, but the other part of me is HERE FOR IT. 😉

I’m going to have a collage for y’all on Monday, but today I’m highlighting a handful of NEW ITEMS  from 3 different retailers (Nordstrom, Anthropologie, and Colleen Rothschild).  I am rounding up a ton of items that I’ve already highlighted (and love) that are NOW ON SALE. If you missed these things the first time around, now you have a chance to grab them on sale! I’m also going to talk about Amazon for a minute BECAUSE IT’S GOOD.

sweater, earrings, jeans, and booties all on sale…

This tipped crewneck sweater is my newest closet staple. It comes in several color combs, but I was immediately drawn to the pink and navy. It’s a perfectly relaxed and slouchy fit, and it’s great for those of you that don’t love doing a half-tuck. This sweater is meant to be worn out to show off the pop of color on the hem. I would suggest sizing way down in this. I’m in an x-small, and you can see that it’s still quite roomy.

My crop bootcut jeans are a very soft denim with great stretch, so they hug your curves in all the right places. Also, the denim is a good weight, so you fill held in. The seams on each side of the bottom of each leg are my favorite part. It’s such a nice detail, and they really modernize the whole look. For size reference, I’m wearing a 4.

This v-neck sweater has a roomy fit, a subtle bell sleeve, and an exaggerated v-neck. I love the neckline and think it’s great for highlighting a necklace! It’s the perfect Christmas red, so go ahead and grab it and wear it all season long! I’m wearing it pretty casually with jeans here, but you could fancy it up with sparkly jewelry and coated denim or nice black pants and some strappy heels. Size way down in this one too because I’m wearing an x-small. If you head to the site you can see the split and hi-low hem.

The multicolor beaded hoop earrings that I’m wearing in the first two outfits today are FABULOUS! I got them just last week, I love them, and they just went 40% OFF. I thought they would be a great Santa Alert, especially now that they are ONLY $21!

tweed jacket, sweater, and booties all on sale…

Okay, y’all. This tweed jacket pretty much stopped me in my tracks. It’s the perfect marriage of pretty, classic, and modern. The colors are great for fall and OH MY WORD I love a tweed. It’s got a banded collar and kind of a cropped (but not too cropped) and feminine fit. It’s lovely. I like it with the straight leg jeans below, but I think it might be even better with boot cut jeans. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

jeans and booties both on sale…

Ladies. If you need a new pair of booties, look no further! I’ve been wearing them constantly for a couple of months now…. and they are NOW ON SALE! You will see that they are in the majority of today’s outfits.

They are a beautiful neutral (these are the “light neutral”), and I’m happy to have them in suede, but they do come in some leather options too. They have a sleek look, clean lines, a square toe, and a tapered block heel. I love them so much. Comfy and true to size.

crop bootcut jeans / suede booties

They’re so pretty.

suede booties

sweater and booties both on sale…

Initially I told you with great certainty that this raglan sleeve sweater was going to be on constant rotation for me this fall. WELL I WAS RIGHT. I LOVE IT. It’s incredibly soft and cozy. It’s a wool/cashmere blend, but it is not itchy AT ALL, so don’t let the wool blend scare you because I don’t do itchy sweaters. I’m wearing this fabulous camel and pink stripe combo, but it also comes in a black and white stripe combo as well as in several solid colors. I like the ribbed collar and sleeves, the banded and ribbed hem, and the exposed seams on the shoulders are a nice touch. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

The price is high, but I personally believe this sweater is worth it. I also like that it’s thin enough that it can easily be worn under a close-fitting jacket. And it’s nice enough to be dress up for the office.

And these corduroy boot cut pants are 100% fabulous. I’m wearing the “camel” here, but they come in 9 colors, so of course I’m tempted to grab a 2nd color. They’re super soft, they have a great amount of stretch in them so they’re both comfy and flattering, and I love having a non-denim option in my closet for fall. (I’m also in love with these flare ankle cords and will be highlighting them next week!) And please pay attention to how long my legs look. I’m only 5’4″, so it’s definitely an illusion. #magiccords

And I have to say, these suede booties are pretty much a perfect match. If you pair these booties with these cords your legs will go on for dayzzzzzzz.

lace blouse and booties both on sale…

This lace blouse is darling and somehow manages to be both chic and a little bit boho. It’s super feminine and all sorts of lovely. It’s a perfect mixture of lace and embroidery, and it really is just so so pretty. It’s fully lined and really just beautifully made. I love it by itself, but you can also layer it with all sorts of things on top. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

lace blouse / crop bootcut jeans / suede booties / hoops / matte gold bracelet stack

smocked blouse and booties both on sale…

This smocked yoke blouse is GORGEOUS. I love it with this regular denim, I’ll love it with black denim, and I’ll definitely be wearing it with my one of my favorite pair of stretchy black pants as well. Paired with black pants, you’ll have a perfect look for the office.

And get this! You also have the option to grab a matching skirt (also on sale). It’s not a look that I’m sure if I could pull off or not, but I do like it!

For size reference, I’m wearing a small, so you probably want to size down 1.

smocked blouse and booties both on sale…

So this is the same blouse as above, but in a different pattern and colorway. This is the “green gables blooming”, but I think of it as a beautiful blue much more than I do a green. I’m wearing a medium in this one, and it’s very roomy, so I definitely prefer the fit of the small (that you see in the picture directly above).

sweater, heart necklace, and booties all on sale…

This boat neck sweater surprised me in all the best ways.

I’m wearing the “heather oatmeal” here, and it really is a perfect neutral. But if you don’t need a neutral, there are 8 other gorgeous colors to choose from. The scallops on the neckline are beautiful, and the detail all the way down the top of the sleeves is really lovely.

It’s very lightweight and can easily be dressed up or down. I mean, I’d wear it with jeans and sneakers, but I could also wear it with a nice pair of pants and heels. As you can see on the left, it tucks in nicely. As you can see on the right, the banded hem is very flattering and looks great worn out too. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium. I do think it runs on the large side, so I would size down if between sizes. (I ended up exchanging for the small and the fit is much better.)

So I’m clearly a fan of neutrals right now. And this crop cardigan has a great little stripe. I’m always saying this now, but you could of course wear this cardi over a basic tee, but y’all know I’m loving wearing cardis all buttoned up. This one is on the cropped side, and I would say it’s a medium weight. I think this will be super cute with cream jeans too… and maybe brown cords. I’m wearing a medium.

sweater, heart necklace, and booties all on sale…

This cable sweater is simple, classic, and a perfect basic. Online it’s called “sky gray”, a reviewer said she thought of it as more of a light green, but to be honest I would describe it as a light grey blue. WHATEVER COLOR IT IS, it’s pretty!

It’s 100% cotton, a medium weight, and has a bit of stretch. I would say it’s more fitted than boxy. If it came in cream, I would definitely be grabbing it in cream too. It’s a beautiful sweater. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

sweater, heart necklace, and booties all on sale…

If you want a big and cozy sweater, this oversized sweater is where it’s at. It’s a cotton blend, but it’s so soft that it feels kind of chenille like to me. The neckline, cuffs, and hem are all ribbed. As you can see, the arms openings are oversized which adds to the cozy vibe. I’m wearing a medium, but I feel confident the small would still be oversized and slouchy, so I would suggest sizing down.

sweater, heart necklace, and booties all on sale…

I love a layered look like this, but if I’m actually layering a separate tee under a sweater, it’s hard to get the proportions right and I feel like it often looks bulky and a bit messy. This sweater is already layered for us, so the proportions are perfection. Just a tiny bit peeking out on the neckline and another tiny bit peeking out of the bottom. SO FLIPPING CUTE. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

blouse and skirt both on sale…

So I know this looks like a dress, but it’s separates!

The floral smocked blouse is GORGEOUS. It is sheer throughout the body and sleeves, so I suggest wearing a cami under it. The colors and the details (the smocking, the ruffle cuffs) are absolutely stunning. Head to the website for an up-close look at the details. For size reference, I’m wearing a small in the blouse. (I originally ordered a medium, but there was way too much fabric, so I suggest sizing down).

The skirt is obviously a perfect match. It has a smocked back waist which make it forgiving and insanely comfortable. The horizontal pintuck pleats across the front of the waist are beautiful, and I’m in love with the ruffly layered skirt. Again, head to the site for an up-close look at the pintuck pleated waistband and the light layers of the skirt. For size reference, I’m wearing a small.

In addition to loving the pieces paired together, look how great the blouse is worn on its own too!

The top really is a beautiful piece.

And I just realized I need to try the skirt on its own too with just a solid black sweater.

blouse and booties both on sale…

This floral blouse is ohhhhh sooooo fall. The colors are deep and moody, and the floral pattern is lovely. Head to the site and zoom in on the blouse to see all of the pretty details like the pintuck pleats across the front, the tiny ruffled collar, the velvet tie, and the wide elastic cuffs. I’m completely smitten with this blouse. It drapes beautifully and is quite roomy, so you might consider sizing down. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium below, but I think a small might be better.

floral blouse / Aliyah jeans / suede booties / skinny hoops / coin toggle necklace / matte gold bracelet stack

sweater and booties both on sale…

This cable sweater is expensive (a bit better now it’s on sale!), and the reviews aren’t great (there are only 3)… but I happen to love it! It’s so incredibly soft and cozy, I love the chunky cable pattern, and y’all know I always love an exaggerated collar like this. And I think this color is YUMMY. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium. The medium is actually pretty roomy, so a small might be better.

Purple and all versions of purple are big this fall. I was immediately drawn to this lilac sweater. It’s quite cozy, very oversized, and great for wearing on its own or layering. I’m wearing a medium here, but I would definitely prefer the fit of a small, so I think most should size down. It’s a great transitional piece.

If lilac isn’t your thing, it also comes in a dark grey, cream, and cherry pop.

dress and heart necklace both on sale…

If you’re an Aggie, I feel like this double ruffle shift dress is an IMMEDIATE yes. It’s perfect for Game Day. It’s lightweight, has double ruffle sleeves, great detail up top, and a swingy fit. What’s not to love. It also comes in black! It says true to size, so I got a medium. However, I do feel like the medium was a bit oversized, so I think I would prefer a small.

ANTHROPOLOGIE EARLY BLACK FRIDAY AND SALE ON SALE

There are a couple of great sales going on at Anthropologie this weekend!

First, you can use the code ANTHRO30 to get 30% OFF of your entire purchase of full price items. There’s also a SALE ON SALE even we will get to in a minute!

Use code ANTHRO30 for 30% OFF this top!

This lace peplum blouse was what I wore to the first night of my high school reunion, and I felt cute and comfortable in it. It has 47 reviews, and the great majority are 5 STARS. Y’all know I often adore a little peplum hem, and this one is definitely worthy of my adoration with the lacy material and subtle scallop hem. The sleeves have a bit of volume (but just a bit), and the lace is gorgeous. I did wear a neutral cami under it, and it was perfect. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

I obviously liked the casual look with denim, but this baby could easily be dressed up tons of different ways. It’s a really great top, and I’m so happy to have it in my closet! I think it will be great with one of my favorite pair of stretchy black pants, and it would also look great under a blazer.

Use the code ANTHRO30 for 30% OFF this sweatshirt!

Okay, ladies. I KNOW ME, and I knew as soon as I saw it that this sweatshirt would be one of my favorite and most worn shirts of the season. Is it flashy? No. Is it a great basic that happens to be flattering that I know I will reach for all the time? 1,000% YES.

As soon as I tried it on, I hopped on and ordered the “cherry tomato” too. It also comes in black and they just launched it in fuschia too. This sweatshirt is soft, it’s cozy, and it’s cute. And while it is a sweatshirt, it is totally elevated with the slightly puffed sleeves (but they’re not aggressive at all) and the banded hem. I LOVE IT SO MUCH. And I’m not the only one that loves it, it has excellent reviews. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

It’s a simple look, but it’s classic, and I think it’s so cute!

I think the colors in this dress are absolutely gorgeous. I’m really loving plums and wines this season. As you can see, it has the same feminine details as the chambray dress above. The site says this dress is 100% cotton too, but I totally thought it was a thin corduroy. I mean, it totally has the texture of a thin corduroy, and that’s 100% how I would describe it. I’m wearing a petite small here (I’m 5’4″), but I ended up exchanging it for the regular small for a bit of extra length.

NOW FOR THE SALE ON SALE ANTHRO ITEMS!

How fun is this plaid mini dress! Regularly $158, right now it’s ONLY $59.97!

This is their best selling Somerset mini dress that actually comes in a ton of colors, patterns, and materials. We’re talking organza, denim, velvet, long sleeve, short sleeve, and strapless. But let’s talk about this super cute plaid. It’s ivory, green, black, pink, and oh so cute.

It has a flattering smocked waist, a flirty tiered skirt, pockets, and a great neckline. Do you love it? Because I love it. I’m wearing a medium petite and like the fit on me. If you’re over 5’4″, I would recommend the regular sizing instead of the petite sizing.
