What I Bought On Sale Last Week

The title of this post is a little misleading, because this includes what I bought on sale during Black Friday, as well as last week, but that seemed like too long a title. I polled you all on Stories to ask if you wanted to know what I had bought, and 100% of voters said yes! I decided to do it as a post instead of Stories because a) the baby is sleeping and b) I felt like it (hah!). #realtalk

I’m only sharing what I’m keeping from what I bought, because I don’t want to share stuff I wouldn’t recommend.

What I bought for baby girl clothes

Lots of tops! My little lady seems to be growing like a weed, so we’re moving into 18 month sizes.

Overall skirt for the springtime, booties for around the house, warm boots for the outdoors, and a super warm coat made the purchase list

Petit Bateau also had a big sale, so I basically spent my life savings there. (Oops… but such cute stuff, and it lasts!)

What I bought for me

We have a couple of upcoming vacations, so I treated myself to a new one-piece swimsuit based on one I saw (and loved) a couple of years ago that I could not find anywhere. The best part about it is that this suit is still 50% off, so it was just $50!

I’ve started working out more, and since having E my body’s shape has changed quite a bit, so none of my workout tops are really comfortable anymore. I like these because they’re comfy, work well from pilates to strength training, and they’re budget-friendly.

A fur snood. No reasoning necessary.

I’ve talked about these slippers a lot this season, but they’re SO CUTE and super comfy. Mine were $7.50 on Black Friday, and they come in a ton of cute colors. They remind me of slippers my grandmother used to knit for us as kids, complete with a pom pom!

I wear leggings A LOT, so I like the look of this high-low sweater. It admittedly has not yet arrived, but I’m excited to try it on.

A basic tee in a really cozy knit and a pretty mustard color.

My sister has these jeans and I always compliment her on them, so I finally decided to get myself a pair!

Super comfy joggers, and they were $30 on sale – still on sale! Mine are navy and they’re perfect for days around the house or running errands.

A super cozy turtleneck sweater, and it has pockets!

I just love the wide stripe of pink on this neutral sweater!

I’ve become a big fan of waffle-knit henleys lately. I got this one in the maroon, which is more of what I would call burnt sienna in person. (Does anyone else call colors by the Crayola name for them?)

What I bought for gifts

I talked about these in this post on personalized gifts, but I went heavy on personalization this year! Here’s what I got:

What’s the best deal you found on Black Friday or in the past week or so?
