Happy Black Friday all! I hope you spent a relaxing Thanksgiving with your family and loved ones. I unplugged for most of the day and just enjoyed time with my in-laws and celebrated passing my gestational diabetes test with a couple helpings of pie.
Now that we are properly fueled up, we can get to shopping. As most of you know, I’m all about online versus in store shopping, especially on a crazy shopping day like Black Friday. So for those of you who are headed to the malls today, may the odds be ever in your favor! For those of you ladies shopping from the couch with a cup of coffee and slice of pie within reach, here are some deals and steals that I’d consider the best of Black Friday for 2018.
Lots of my picks are either from my Affordable Holiday Gift Guide, are well loved in my wardrobe, are on my wardrobe wish list, or are things that I or friends use constantly in our lives. So what I’m trying to say is that I tried to hone down all the sales going on (because there are hundreds of deals) and just share the things that I think you ladies will love.
And without further adieu, here are the Northwest Blonde Best of Black Friday picks for 2018!
