#RidiculousDeal: Black Friday Spoils

My Black Friday strategy was to buy staples in my wardrobe that I've been wanting for a while. 

Sephora

'Dealtopia' $10 Deals

I surveyed these on Pinterest long before the event so that I could plan out exactly what I was getting. I literally selected all the ones that I ended up buying. I also went crazy getting Kicks (for Shopkicks) before I went to pick this up so that I could use a gift card for nearly half the purchase. A $25 gift was a sweet gift for this purchase.

I seriously wanted at least one pair of combat boots from my Black Friday experience but this special proved to be perfection.

Top.

Ross. 

I bought this during the time that I had no uniform at the restaurant. Since then I have an abundance of black tops lol I've actually stopped buying black tops because of that. In the past, I thought you couldn't have too much black but got tired of never having another option. I love the material on the shirt. It's textured and that gives it a more tailored look but at the same time it's soft & comfortable. I get lots of compliments on this shirt. The cut mimics the Express button downs so it's super classy but casual when I need it to be.

Jeans.

PacSun. 

I am barely fitting these jeans again as you can tell but it was nice to be able to button them and wear them out again. These were my go-to jeans once upon a time. Now I'm just happy to be able to button them again. Lol that's sad. That's what happens when you eat your feelings. Anyway, these jeans are a very strange length to dress them up. The color is right on the money- for me ideal! I die for indigo wash jeans- I honestly believe there is nothing better. However, these jeans are so skinny that its harder to wear with a lower heel so much that I have retired them (also because I couldn't fit them, but I could've tried with my body shaper) because it was way too frustrating to even try to wear them to work. The incline on these platforms makes them slide elegantly right into the skinny hemline.This it the first time I have worn these jeans with heels & been satisfied with the result.

Belt.

Michael Kors.

Staple. I said you'd be seeing a lot of this belt. I believe this is the first time that I have worn it on the espresso side. Usually it makes it on the platinum snakeskin side (sounds tacky but is so sexy) The espresso side is dark enough and neutral enough to be worn with black :) which benefits me greatly. It's glossy and patent which is a completely different look than the other side. 

A two sided belt is honestly the greatest thing since sliced bread.

Shoes.

Steve Madden.

Staple. I am obsessed with these shoes, I literally wear them every chance that I get. They're so boss! I've noticed that I've worn them with outfits that I've worn before and get way more compliments now! I guess shoes really do make the outfit. It may be the last time for a while that I make a shoevestment like that because I cannot afford to start supporting that habit. I just got off purses!
