At first, I told myself that I wasn't going to participate in Black Friday. But after going to a Starbucks and Panera run, me and my friend Isa had nothing to do so we went to the mall. Surprisingly, a lot of stores were still stocked so I was able to find some good stuff! I didn't buy a single piece of clothing because I felt like the sales weren't that great. I did see that H&M were selling $5 sweaters but by the time I went, there were only $10 sweaters left and they weren't that great. Other than buying my brother a pair of dress pants from Express for Christmas, I had a major shopping splurge for myself. In total, I bought myself 5 pieces of jewelry which I absolutely love! I always give in when I see collar necklaces and the Peter Pan Collar Necklace was something I couldn't pass! Even though it was $16, Francesca's Collection was having a BOGO 50% off sale so I got both the necklace and stone bangle for about $24. Before Black Friday, my jewelry collection didn't really consist of much but now I am proud to say that my collection's growing! I can't wait to wear my new jewelry with different outfits! I also bought a suede/faux leather tote at H&M, which I started using today for school. Before I bought this, I used my Zipper Bucket Bag from Zara. But now I can use this bag when I go out instead! Overall, I splurged the most at ULTA. Ever since mid-November, I've been getting more interested in makeup; partially because my friends Isa and Jenn are so obsessed with everything make up related. I don't really wear make up everyday, but when I dress up and wear a nice outfit, I like to put some eyeshadow and lipstick on. I ended up buying a $40 Lorac Palette which sadly, I am going to return because I might be getting the Naked Palette 2 instead. But I'm really happy with the two Revlon Matte lipsticks I got because I've read good reviews about them and have been wanting them forever! Now, all I have to do is wear/use all the stuff that I bought! For the next few months, you'll probably be seeing me wear the things that I bought with different outfits so stay posted!
