Not pictured:
-Any Black Friday shopping I may have done over the weekend. (I wrote this post just beforehand.)
-An online Target order of a couple sweaters. They had a great 40% off sale, so I got a few in basic colors to replace some older ones in my closet…ordered in a couple different sizes, so we’ll see what fits.

This month consisted of some great deals. Two items (Target tunic and Old Navy cream vest) were exchanges from last month.  I felt the color/quality of the item was better, so I swapped them out and am glad I did!  The black tunic matches a lot more of the color palette in my closet.  In fact, I wore this over Thanksgiving with leggings and it was a very good decision :-) The vest from Old Navy is fleece lined and offers the perfect amount of warmth without bulking you up.  And the best part?  I grabbed it on sale for $15 (and threw in a black one while I was at it.)  And to get free shipping at ON, I threw in the striped leggings which ended up being a good call.  Great for pajamas, barre class, working from home…basically all.the.time.

And after posting about my curiosity for Madewell jeans, I took the plunge and did what you should never do.  Bought denim without trying it on.  GASP!  The jeans are normally $125+ and although I’m willing to pay more for jeans that fit right, hold their shape throughout the day and are well made, I wanted to find a deal.  So, I went to eBay and found a pair for $31.  When they arrived, they (luckily) fit like a glove.  And let me tell you- the jeans hold up to their hype.  They don’t sag like other jeans do by the end of the day.  They have just enough stretch to move with you and be comfortable. The slightly higher rise is perfect for bending up and down with a baby.  I could go on and on.  In fact, I loved them so much that I saw another pair on eBay for even cheaper $22 and grabbed those too.  Needless to say, they will be in constant rotation.

Lastly, in terms of c/o or sponsored items (or items with credits), I received the following from my generous partners:

–BB Dakota Edie Chevron Sweater via Wantable credits
–Halogen Girlfriend Jeans via Brandzaffair (worn here)- got these before I found my deal on Madewell denim.  Since these are a looser fit (plus I could have ordered down another size), they really sag by the end of the day which bugs me.  Madewell for the win!

And high five to me!  All purchases this month were covered by blog income and eBay clothing/accessory sales from when I {majorly} cleaned out my closet.

What did you get this month?  And great deals—around Black Friday or otherwise?
