black friday strategy

J.Crew Majesty Pea Coat; Karen Walker Super Duper Sunglasses; 3,1 Phillip Lim PashliI can’t believe that Thanksgiving is only two days away, which means Black Friday is just around the corner.  This year, I’m staying in NYC for the parade, Friendsgiving and some serious sale shopping!

While drawing up my strategy for this weekend, I reread my tips on how to survive Black Friday.  I imagine that most of it still applies while living in the city, but I plan to sharpen my game plan even more in order to avoid the crazy crowds in SoHo or on Fifth Avenue.

The biggest step: whittling down my wishlist to a few must have pieces.  I go into Black Friday with my eye on a few major purchases (last year’s score: my beloved Tory Burch tote).  It’s the only time of the year those things that never go finally do!  So splurge a little and you’ll save a lot.  Check out my Black Friday wishlist and a few other great investment pieces!

3. J.Crew Majesty Pea Coat
