Through tonight you can use code LAYERUP to take 40% off Final Sale items at J Crew. It looks like they are trying to clear some things out to make room for new arrivals this week. If they really wanted to clear things out they should have left out the “final sale” part of the promo.

My best friend is having a “0” birthday next month and though I have enough going out outfits I think the Washed Lamé Pull-on Pant would be perfect for an night of dinner and dancing. I also liked the Faux-Leather Pocket Shift Dress when I tried it on. I don’t need another sweatshirt but the Graphic Floral Sweatshirt nets $29.99 with the promo.

I am still in love with the Carrie Cami in Watercolor Floral. I took a size 8 in that. The purple in the the Yarn Dyed Vertical Stripe Scarf in pretty saturated. The Two-Tone Pleated Combo Dress is on promo right now and nets $100.80. I will wait for a true sale price and promo on this dress and then order the 8 Petite.
I wear my Wide-Leg Crop Jeans constantly. They are have taken another cut and are now almost sold out in all sizes. They are TTS for me and I took them in a size 29. I wish I had caught them in my size during this price cut. The second pair I ordered were in the wrong packaging so I ended up getting a pair of Crewcuts jeans sent to me and not my Lowry Wash jeans.
I also like the Silk Slip Dress. Though I rarely wear slips, it is still nice to have one on hand. In the past it’s been rare to find one that was 100% silk so for around $36 I think this is a great deal. The Patio Pant in Dusty Dune is the only color on sale but it’s a good neutral to have in your closet. At $41.99 I would order the size 8 and have them hemmed.
Are you shopping this Final Sale or saving your pennies for the new arrivals this week?

Banana Republic has a nice Online Only promo that started today with either 40% or 50% off items with code BRYOU. This sale runs through tomorrow, 1/27. The usual exclusion apply: BR Picks, BR Monogram, Cashmere, Leather. This time Women’s Blazers are not excluded (normally they are). I have some items in my shopping cart and deciding what I really want to try.

50% off Select Items
I’m always looking for shirts I can throw on with jeans and a necklace especially if they are natural fibers like silk, linen or cotton. The Silk Popover comes in both light and dark and with different promos. The Light Silk Popover is 40% off while the Dark Silk Popover is 50% off. I never bought the leather Coach Cameo Pendant so I think this Necessary Luxe Leather Strand Necklace might edge outfits up a little.

40% off Everything Else

The Gemma Wrap Dress has been a staple at Banana Republic for years. I’ve tried them on in the past taking a Medium. The Heritage Belted Ponte Midi Skirt reminds me of old BR when they were doing Safari colors. I just wish it came in Petite because at 30 inches, it’s almost a Maxi Skirt on me. I don’t need any new jeans just yet but the Indigo Boyfriend Jeans are a pair I really want to try. I’m hoping to get the Short/Petite size as the length is always too long on me when it’s meant to be cropped on everyone else.

Now I just need to narrow this down to only a few items.

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.

~ Tory Burch ~
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.

Take 30% off with HOLIDAY

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.

Take 25% off with HOLIDAY25

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.
