As soon as Thanksgiving ends and the holidays hit, you can always count on amazing sales and deals to starting rolling into your inbox. And they are so difficult to refuse! I know this first hand...

First off, this adorable retro checked sweater was an in store purchase courtesy of Banana Republic! The material is so soft, and I love the high neck and bell sleeves. It gives me a casual 50's housewife vibe! Regularly $100, the price was marked down to $60 on clearance. Sale was an additional 50% off, plus an extra 10% for BR card holders. 1/4 of the original price! *Note that BR sale that is 50% off or more is typically final sale, so make sure you love what you buy!

These distressed skinny ankle jeans are not an item I would typically wear, but they called to me and I didn't say no. I'm totally smitten with them now! I think they add a fun, young detail to an otherwise sophisticated look, plus they are SO stretchy! (Perfect for the holidays!) I got them through a Black Friday sale on the Gap website, a partner of BR. Not sure of the original price, but after being marked down to clearance, an additional site wide sale, and extra discount for BR holders, I got them for a measly $10!

Lastly, these perfect go-with-everything nude chunky heel flats have been on my radar for sometime, and I found a deal at Nordstrom Rack in store that I couldn't pass up! I was just nonchalantly scouring the clearance racks of Rack while wasting a few hours in Seattle a couple weeks ago and grabbed these and never let go until they were on my feet! Originally over $100, I got these Susina flats for only half the price at $50. Insider tip! There were a lot of sales associates going through marking down the red tags for a lot of designer shoes, including Tory Burch, Longchamp, and Burberry, and those are only the few I saw. They were still a bit too pricey for me, but if you are in the market for a new pair of designer duds I would highly recommend checking out Nordstrom Rack!
