Wow! Who would have thought these two tees would sell out so quickly? I ordered the Elephant Parade Tee when it first came out and then had to search for the Gold Elephant Tee.

The description said this was a “Slightly loose fit.” so I sized down and ordered the Small. I would feel a little more comfortable in the Medium but the Small fits fine. If you want it to fit a little loose, go with your normal size. This looks so much more lux than I had imagined. You can see the White Elephants are more saturated IRL than the online image, which shows them to look almost gray. This is a cotton blend and so comfortable. I’m afraid I’ll end up using it as a sleep shirt too which will mean laundering it more and maybe having the navy fade quicker. We shall see.

No, I did not buy this because I wanted it so badly and it was the last one left. 😉  MamaBella called me with orders from the catalog she received and when she did, this was sold out online. She was so disappointed as this is the second time something she’s really wanted was sold out. The first time was with the Dutch Floral Cropped Sweatshirt. I was able to call Customer Service and they found it quickly for me. This time she said, “Call your people and have them find it.” LOL! “My people…” which I guess you JCAs are. Anyway, I called CS two days in a row and they couldn’t find it. I finally contacted my in-store VPS and they had just received new stock that day! As soon as she let me know they had one I immediately drove over to the store to get it. I was going to save the tee as a Christmas surprise but I had to tell her since “my people” helped me find it. 
This is a Large and fits over-sized, of course. Personally, I would probably get the Medium just to have a little more loose fit. The Small would probably fit exactly, like the Elephant Parade Tee above. Also, this is a Poly/Linen so it might shrink some if accidentally put in the dryer, which I’d probably do. And the pretty gold elephant could melt. I really like this tee but choosing between the two would stick with the Elephant Parade Tee. 
As of now, both are back in stock online. Also, check your stores or call Customer Service. GIVETHIS gets you 30% off on select items, including these two tees, as well as sale items. 
Have a Great Day!

I purposefully worked today so I wouldn’t be out in the madness that is Black Friday. I did venture out for coffee this morning it seems everyone was fast asleep in bed, having shopped yesterday starting at 6 p.m. On the way home from our Thanksgiving at my brother’s house, we did pass the outlet around 7:30 p.m. and it wasn’t as crazy as I thought it would be. We did see lines outside Wal-Mart, Target, Best Buy and other similar stores driving home though. I hope they got some good deals.

I did shop today, but online only. Here are a few “deals” I took advantage of.

20%, 25%, or 30% off depending on how much you spend

I was able to get my beloved Rayna Dress with this promo as well as a cropped Simone Sweater to match it. The Lizzie Tunic is a gift and the Willa Dress is one I’m hoping will be a great dressed up but casual dress for daily wear.

The Elephant Parade Tee was too cute to pass up and the rest of the items are for The Boy for Christmas. He loves the Ludlow Chambray Shirt.

The Capri Blue Bar Soap in Volcano will make a great little gift. It’s my favorite scent I get a new candle every few months. I never noticed the Harlyn Sienna Silk Trousers but I hope they fit as the green looks gorgeous. I also bought the Harvest Moon Poncho in Ivory.

I think this rolling pin with Christmas items is perfect for easy but imprinted Sugar Cookies. I found it at BoonHomeware. They are shipping from the UK so I think this will arrive just in time for Christmas.

Are you shopping any Black Friday sales or did you take the day off? I am actually almost finished since I bought a lot of items last year at Anthropologie after Christmas. I have ring holders, aprons and other little items for gifts this year and they all were between $4-$10 each.
