Pre-Black Friday Sales & What Caught My Eye
If you’ve had your eye on something and were waiting to see if it would go on sale for Black Friday, it might be worth taking another peek at your wish list. Some of my favorite retailers have already marked down many of this season’s pieces, and there’s still a good selection of sizes and colors. I’ll start with a few items of my own that are already marked down, then share the other sales on my radar.

A Plaid Jacket & Coated Jeans

My sizes: Jacket – 6 (could probably size down to 4), Cardigan – S, Jeans- 29 (27″ inseam)
This lightweight wool-blend plaid jacket (65% wool) is included in J.Crew’s “Shop More, Save More” promotion. The color is slightly more taupe than it appears here, and is a neutral I think could work for Springs, Autumns, and most Summers.
The coated finish gives these Paige Anessa jeans a subtle sheen and leather-like look. They’re available in 3 lengths, and the coated version is also available in Black. If you prefer regular denim the Anessa comes in several washes, and is currently 20% off with code NOV11SALE.
A Closer Look at the Naadam Cashmere Cardigan
That’s the same Naadam Super Fine Cashmere cardigan (gifted) I’m wearing under the plaid jacket above. Here I’ve buttoned it up and left it untucked so you can see where it hits on me. I’m 5’1″ and wearing size Small. I really like this one — it’s a travel-friendly piece that’s warm, soft, layers well and doesn’t seem prone to pilling. It’s available in several colors. (I’m really tempted to order the Navy while it’s 30% off… 😉)
If you’re checking your own wish list, here are a few more sales I’d take a peek at…
