Shop Til You Drop!

Pumpkin pie, turkey, stuffing, green bean casserole…. SHOPPING!!

 

Shopping is an essential part of any Thanksgiving celebration!  I literally shopped until I dropped this AM.   I forgot my camera at the house, but I stopped into Starbucks around 12:30 and bought a multi-grain roll that came with a packet of almond butter (only $1.69! I love their new line of healthy food).  I also had a green tea.

 

Here are my super awesome purchases:

 

New jewelry to wear with my rehearsal dinner dress….

Black jewelry is definitely the "thing" right now. It was all over the stores!

 

I also bought a new dress (very Gossip Girl-inspired).  This dress definitely channels my inner Serena.

And the open back (super hot):

A pretty purple satin halter top

A satin black pencil skirt with fun detailing on the behind.  Love this! Gives me an arse! :)  Here’s that back:

Two sweaters to wear in Napa on our honeymoon.  The dark blue one is really purple.

And two tank tops for $2.49.  Old Navy is having an INSANE sale right now!

After I got home, I ate my "real" lunch at 3:00 PM! Whoa — my eating schedule is all crazy-off today.

I had carrots and celery with Sabra hummus.  This hummus is so delicious!

And the last of my crock pot chicken soup….

I’m planning to go on a run shortly and then I need to prep for some Thanksgiving cooking!  I’m also working my first shift at the doggie kennel tonight. 🙂

 

Are you a fan of shopping on Black Friday? I LOVE IT – but I have to work at the kennel on Friday.  How early do you hit the stores?

    Beautiful jewelry, dress, sweaters…everything! I definitely love channeling my inner gossip girl, ahhh so glamorous!

    I am not really into the shopping after thanksgiving, even though the sales are good, the crowds make the whole experience miserable for me.

  • HangryPants November 26, 2008, 2:18 pm

    I love the Gossip Girl dress!

    I love Black Friday, just for the crazy experience of it, but I don’t get out there too early. 😀

  • Lyss November 26, 2008, 2:19 pm

    where did you get that dress?! I love it!!!

    I don’t normally do Black Friday, but I’m very into cyber Monday. I love online shopping- no crowds! I MIGHT hit the stores for a short time Friday morning before I babysit at 8. We’ll see. Let me know where you got that dress!

    it happens to me often that when I go out for shopping, I forget totally my belly…..hahahha…so 3pm lunch is so common!

    wow, those are some awesome finds, especially the “gossip girl” dress.

    I don’t sop Black Friday anymore. I went once and some lady ran me over with her cart for a Barbie. That was enough for me. 🙂

  • girlrunningaround November 26, 2008, 2:47 pm

    Wow! You did some great shopping!

    I L-O-V-E Black Friday! It’s so much fun to be a crazy and stand out in the cold at 4am. My step-mom made it a family tradition years ago. Even when I worked in retail, I loved it. I had to be at work at 4am, but I was out by noon and the day flew by.

    You got cute things! I like the halter top.

    I actually just went to Old Navy yesterday to buy some jeans and a couple shirts. I *hate* shopping though because it usually just makes me frustrated. Glad you had an enjoyable time 🙂
