Total: $202.46

I’m very happy with  my Black Friday shopping – most I did online, but I ventured into Macy’s and purchased my Jessica Simpson wrap coat for $99.99 – I linked to Nordstrom though because it is currently on sale there for less than $85! It is a lighter-weight coat, but super comfy and chic. I love the wrap tie and the faux leather trim. I live really close to Ridgedale mall, and decided to walk around a bit on Friday morning, but it was insane! I left pretty quickly after finding a new dressy winter coat. I also needed a new pair of tall black flat boots (I only have black booties right now), and wanted a new pair of winter boots. I loved this pair from JustFab, and everything was HALF OFF on Friday. I couldn’t resist. I went from having 10 things in my cart and narrowed it down to boots and a cute sweater. I also got some shopping done for friends and family, so I’m feeling pretty good about my spending during all of these sales. I’m linking up with Franish for Budgeting Bloggers!

With that said, there are still SO many sales going on right now, check them out below! I also noted how much the items I got on Black Friday are currently (some might be on additional sale with codes).
