Black Friday Buys!

Yesterday was Black Friday, so I though I would show you what I picked up! I was quite disappointed with the deals, especially as I had waited all month to see what my favourite stores had to offer before buying.  As you may have read in my previous post, I am only now buying what I see as something I can wear forever and not be thrown out after wearing it for one season.

 I had been on the search for some boots, and found these ones in Zara, but as there was only 40% off of certain items I picked them up full price. I then then found a few other pairs I liked in Topshop, but knew I didn't need another black pair so I went to Mango to see if the olive green pair I had seen were in store, and they were! With 30% off in store I couldn't say no; the colour is subtle enough to be paired with everything and the style is so classic. A chunkier take on the classic Chelsea boot. 

                                                                     

I have also been looking for a 'sensible' coat for about 2 months now. I had been eyeing up an &other stories one which was lined with Borg and was black, so ticked 2 of my boxes. I wanted to hold out until I had found one with a hood too, but I then started to look out for the Borg lining since finding the &other stores! When I went in to find the Mango boots, I then spied this coat on the last change to buy rail. I almost ran to grab it and showed my friends, to which both said a definite yes.  It has a hood, a removable Borg lining and is in a sensible colour! 

Finally, I bought this Ralph Lauren jumper from TKMAXX. There weren't any deals on but I had seen the jumper about a month ago and so thought I'd pick it up as I still loved it this time.  

I also bought a new lip liner from Morphe, which was so busy and in the end I just wanted to get out of there so I'm not sure exactly my thought process behind the one I chose. It was called 'Backseat Love'.  Similarly, I picked up a new Gimme Brow from Benefit as they has 20% and I needed a new one so thought I would get it whilst I had the chance.

So, that's what I picked up this year as in the past I've always bought items I've never ended up wearing. Let me know what you picked up this year in the comments.

Grace.
