Hi! Hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving!
I'm back! And I sincerely apologize for the lack of blogging the past three weeks.. I was having personal issues and it was hard to motivate myself to do anything. But I am back now, and feeling much better!
So first off, I just wanted to say that I experienced my first ever Thanksgiving dinner! My friend invited me over to eat with his family, and it was really nice! And delicious! I had apple pie for the first time, as well as a real Thanksgiving meal. But yeah! Just thought I'd say this first. ^^
This was supposed to just be a Black Friday haul, but I actually went shopping the Sunday before Black Friday and got a few things as well, so this is kind of the general month of November!
Also,
H&M opened at my local mall on the 17th at noon, so I've included those items too! And yes, I did go to the grand opening! Luckily, I happened to have a free period that day and I didn't have to miss class to go. But it was insanely crowded - the deals were great, though! So I'll probably start with that and work my way to the Black Friday haul.
Okay! Here we go :)
Forever 21 Eagle necklace, $3.36
Eh, I got this at the beginning of the month, so I figured I'd just include it in this post. It was originally $4.80, but they were having a 30% off jewelry special when I got it, so yeah! I think it's really cute, and it's a little shorter than the pendant necklaces I usually get. But at the same time, it's not too short. So it's a nice length.
H&M Opening: I spent a ton here because it was just opening and there were a lot of deals. Plus, they gave out these $10 off $50 coupons, so I figured I'd go ahead and get stuff and I could return it if I changed my mind.
Maroon elbow-patch cardigan, $17.95
I absolutely love this cardigan! It was a little pricey for me, but the color is beautiful and the elbow patches are so adorable! Elbow patches may be slightly on the dorky side of fashion, but I have to say that I think they're super cute!
Cream sweater, $10
This sweater was one of their opening deals, and it was originally $17.95. The sweater is slightly cropped and it's crewneck, and I just love the boxy design of it.
Burgundy striped tee, $12.95
I thought that the design of this tee was really unique. The front has small stripes with larger rugby stripes on the sleeves, and the back is the other way around. I think the color is really pretty as well, and it's just a cute, casual tee.
This shirt was just a steal, and I couldn't pass it up. It was originally $12.95, but again, it was an opening deal! It was available in black, deep purple, and hot pink too, but I'm really into the neutral gold/brown colors for the winter. I think it fits really well, and is really versatile because you can dress it up or dress it down and the color goes with everything.
Turtleneck cream sweater tunic, $10
Again, this was an opening deal and it was originally $24.95. I'm not entirely sure whether or not I love this sweater yet, but I figured that it was a pretty good deal and I am lacking sweaters. It's kind of different, and isn't something I would usually wear, so we'll see! It's really comfy, though. :)
Target: I went went shopping here for my friend's birthday present, and picked up this shirt while I was there! It's kind of like a poncho, almost! Haha, I thought it was really cute, though. I think I got it for like $12? I'm not entirely sure! x)
Sunday, November 20th: It was my friend's birthday and she wanted to go shopping for part of it, so we did! I didn't spend a lot because I was saving up for Black Friday, but here's what I got!
Forever 21 Sweet bunny pullover, $10
This was a Yellow Tag Deal, and originally $16.90. I had been window shopping on the Forever 21 website and I saw this and thought it was super cute! So when I went in the store, I was determined to find it. Luckily, I did! It's really comfy ^^ And I think the design is adorable!
American Eagle owl ring, $3.33
I. LOVE. THIS. RING. It's an owl!! And I am thoroughly obsessed with owls, as you should know! x) I'm not a huge ring person because rings tend to just get in my way and get uncomfortable, but I've worn this a few times now and it's really nice! It's not extremely bulky and it's pretty smooth and it fits really well, so it's perfect for me
American Eagle ring cluster necklace, $3.33
I thought this necklace was really cute, and the mix of ring styles was cute! I've always wanted a necklace in this style, so I was glad I found it.
And finally...
Black Friday! I actually didn't get a ton of stuff, which was good. x) I actually didn't have much time to shop because I had to work. Six hours of standing at the cash register, yay... But at least I was in a booth sort-of thing, so the crazy Black Friday shoppers couldn't push me around. (I worked at a pretzel place at my mall.) Anyways, here's what I got!
Charlotte Russe leggings in lilac and burgundy, $3.50 each
I've been wanting these for a while, and I thought I was getting them for $5 each. So I was pleasantly surprised when they rang up for even less! I guess Charlotte Russe was having a 30% Black Friday special or something? But it was nice and now I have them, so I'm okay with it! ^^
Forever 21 navy cardigan, $9.99
Forever 21 was having a "buy 1, get 1 free" special for their sale items, so I browsed their sale section and found this cardigan! I'm a huge cardigan person because they're so versatile and you can wear them with all kinds of things. You might not be able to tell from the picture, but the back is actually longer than the front. I thought this was kind of cool, and I've been looking for tops with this style so it was perfect! The material isn't too heavy, either, so I think I could wear it year-round.
Forever 21 graphic tank, free
I got this tank for free with the cardigan, since it was a sale item. But I thought this was super adorable! I don't really have any graphic tanks, and this one really caught my eye!
Forever 21 camel classic crewneck sweater, $12
This was a yellow tag deal and I think it was originally $19.80? But I thought the material was super soft, and again, it's a nice neutral color.
Macy's lace-detailed tank
This is actually a size Large and from the Women's petite section, but I figured that since it's just a vest, the size doesn't especially matter. Actually, I think the size just makes it longer, which is nice. I think it ended up being around $5? But I think this could be super cute with a sundress or a tank&jeans, and it's a neutral enough color where I could wear it with a lot of things. I've been wanting something with lace-detailing, so this was nice.
Hollister hoodie, $15
I actually didn't get to go to Hollister on Black Friday, but they ended up having a better deal the day after! So I picked up this hoodie for just $15. I got a grey one last year on Black Friday and I love it! Their hoodies are super comfy, and I've been wanting another for a while now.
Hollister gray&white striped crewneck top, $9.54
I love these casual tops, and this was just so soft and nice that I immediately fell in love with it!
Ahh! So many clothes! >< Haha, but I'm finally done with my haul! Maybe next time I should do a video if I'm doing a haul post? It might make it easier.. And I could try on the clothes and everything. Should I do that? Let me know what you think!
Anyways, sorry for the super long post! And hopefully, I'll be able to get back to posting more often. :)
Bye!
