what i hate
:: crowds
:: fake deals. for instance, banana republic outlet discounted their entire store by 50% today. sounds like a great deal and it is. but, none of the tags are discounted as they normally are on non-black friday days. so, for some things, you pay more than what you would if you went there on a random weekend in the summer when they want of get rid of merchandise but there aren't very many shoppers. and i have definitely found magnificent deals on days like that.
:: the rude shoppers. and the occasional rude salesperson.
:: parking. the lot was cometely full and went out into the fields!
:: the mess. ie this scene in lacoste:
what i love
:: spending time with my family and everyone putting their two cents in on what's bought. i don't think there is any other day of the year that my whole family goes shopping together. who does that anymore (besides families with kids who can't drive)?
:: the real deals. i mean, i see better sales on other days (i'm a bargain shopper. i get it from my mama). but, you see some good deals on black friday. and to get the best deals you have to sit outside of a store in the cold for hours. not my style (check back with me when i have spoiled kids. or when the bf needs a new pc and I finally am making some money)
:: my mom buying me things like i'm 12 and we're back to school shopping :)
today i got me some sweet knitted glove/mittens in back and white (yay jcrew student discount available for use with other discounts on black friday!) and a beautiful ski jacket (that will be used as an everyday jacket, too). my mama got me some winter boots. i never thought i would like boots with da fur. but i love the way these boots feel. there isn't fur inside, it's a thermal material. but seriously, these boots are super super super coformtable. and they were only $60! i shoulda had my mom buy the jacket instead of the boots because now i'm broke. but that's ok. it was sweet of my mama to buy them ♥
daniel and i also picked up a couple of presents for people on our list! so that's a couple of checkmarks. i wish we were done with holiday shopping.
now i wish i had the mullah to get this coat that feels like a comforter. this is another type of coat that i never thought i would like. but, seriously. go to rei and try it on. it's sooo soft, super light, and just comfortable. and strangely, i think it looked pretty good on me. i also want these heavier duty gloves. and these leather/cashmere gloves. ohhhh so beautiful! and a macbook.
