Cheers to Black Friday, friends! Or rather, Black Friday Eve! The overwhelming consensus was to share this post early, so I hope your bellies are full of pie, and your hearts full of love after a day spent with family. We had a fun, pie-filled day, and now I’m ready for a little quiet time… with my laptop, ha!

There are so many amazing sales, it’s hard to know where to start. But stay calm and take deep breaths, you don’t want your clicking-finger to lock up on you… I’ll be your tour guide. Instead of overwhelming you with every last retailer, I’m just sharing the ones I’ll be shopping, along with favorite finds from each.

If you’re new around here, Dressing Room Diaries is where I hunt down some of the cutest new arrivals from my favorite retailers, and review them for you. The shots aren’t good, the lighting is bad (especially now with the time change!), my hair is usually past its expiration… but it’s real life, real girl, real clothes… and hopefully helpful for you to see them this way, instead of perfectly styled on a model.

Fit Note: I’m 5’4″-ish, 125 pounds-ish (depending on the week’s pie count), with a slight pear shape. My usual size is an XS/0. 

NORDSTROM // Up to 50% off during their Cyber Week Sale + extra 25% off clearance!

Before I get in to the new finds, did you see all the Uggs on sale HERE, as is tons of Zella HERE! I’m grabbing this plush throw for Mama SP while it’s under $30, and finally ordering these leggings for myself to see what the fuss is about!

Okay, I found a slew of fun new things, starting with this relaxed fit cowlneck sweater. It’s super soft and and a great medium weight. I love the puffed sleeves for a little more style.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS

Slouchy Turtleneck Sweater | White Jeans | Similar Loafers | Ring (25% off!)

 

This chunky knit sweater had me at colorblock! I love the shades of pink and mustard, with a little bit of balloon sleeve. It’s fairly warm and heavy, and I’d likely layer it over a tee for more softness.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS

Colorblock Sweater | Raw Hem Jeans | Similar Booties | Ring (25% off!)

 

How am I just discovering Ugg makes streetwear?! And wowza is it good!! This zip-up jacket is about as soft as they come, with incredible quality and the cutest details. I love the taller neck and hood, with contrasting trim.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS

Zip-Up Sherpa Hoodie | Cropped Jeans | Similar Slip-On Sneakers | Ring (25% off!)

 

We know and love Zella athletic wear, but did you know they also do loungewear?! Yes ma’am, and it’s crazy cozy! This pullover has a tall funnel neck you wear up or rolled down, and is a super soft and warm sherpa. It has a bit of a high-low hem, perfect for leggings, too, and comes in a ton of great colors and patterns.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS (this brand runs large)

Fleece Funnel Neck Pullover | Cropped Jeans | Similar Slip-On Sneakers | Ring (25% off!)

 

Speaking of leggings, I love pairing mine with cardigans and vests, but prefer to keep my bum covered. This tunic tee is a great layering piece that provides full bum-coverage, and comes in black and white. It’s super-soft cotton, but not sheer.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS

Long Sleeved Tee | Leggings | Slip-On Sneakers

There are literally too many sales to keep up, but pretty much everything is on some sort of deal. According to my intel, these fave black jeans will be on sale, as will these perfect lightweight puffers. Here are a few more of my fave recent finds worth checking out. Starting with the cutest holiday graphic tees…

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a small in each of them

right: ‘Christmas Cheer’ Tee | High-Rise Cropped Black Jeans | Similar Black Mules

 

Y’all, this is getting borderline embarrassing… but I’m obsessed with this tunic sweater! I needed to see some of the other colors and pattern options in person, and now I’m sitting with five colors and can’t decide which to keep! It’s super soft, forgiving fit, long for the bum, and so cute!

Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS, but would size down.

Oversized Tunic Sweater | Cropped Jeans | Sneakers | Distressed Jeans | Booties | Gold Bead Bracelets

 

This pullover has Patagonia vibes, and is crazy soft and warm! I love the zipper detail and contrasting inside color. It’s a little longer, so great with leggings, and even has pockets. This one is a Little Miss fave from last year, and she wears the blue one all the time.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a small

Fuzzy Half-Zip Pullover in ‘Pink Single Side’ | Leggings | Slip-On Sneakers | Gold Bead Bracelets

 

This sherpa jacket is a family favorite… Little Miss and I trade colors all the time (she has the camel). We wear it over everything from pajamas to workout wear to jeans. It’s so warm and soft.

Fit Tip: I prefer a size up, I’m wearing a small.

Who knew I needed a leopard puffer in my life?! Leopard is the ultimate neutral, you know, so you could pair this with virtually any color and pattern! This is a quality puffer that’s not too heavy or bulky, and packs easily in the attached pouch. It’s a great lightweight top layer for fall or mild winters.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a small

Leopard Puffer Jacket | Cropped Jeans | Similar Slip-On Sneakers

 

It was instant-smitten with these Levi’s, and I’ve worn them on repeat! They’re the same fit and softness of the distressed ones I’ve been wearing all fall, but in a dark, black rinse. They’re super soft and stretchy, and fairly lightweight in a comfortable high-rise fit. And you know I love that kick at the ankle for pairing with flats and sneakers!

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a 27

OLD NAVY // 50% off everything

Old Navy continues to slay the fall and winter styles… I found several fun new things, but this knit blazer is my hands-down fave ON find in months! It’s soft and stretchy, and perfectly relaxed. I love it layered over a hoodie, too!

Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS, it’s a generous fit.

Look at Old Navy with the on-trend leopard! And so soft and stretchy, too! You’d never know by the fit and feel that it’s so affordable!

Be still my fair-isle loving heart! This navy sweater is super soft and stretchy, with a cropped fit and blouson sleeve. Wear it alone, or layered over plaid. Super cute under puffers, too. Old Navy makes one of my fave puffer vests…they’re fleece-lined with a tall neck I love.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a small in all pieces. 

Fair Isle Sweater | Plaid Button Down | Puffer Vest | Cropped Jeans | Similar Loafers

 

Here’s another look at the puffer vest…so cute layered over hoodies, flannels, sweaters and more. This plaid is a soft, brushed flannel in a classic fit.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a small in both the shirt and vest.

Plaid Button Down | Puffer Vest | Cropped Jeans | Similar Slip-On Sneakers

 

Back to the leggings talk from before…this is another great long tunic tee for keeping the bum covered! It’s a drapey jersey knit with a scoop neck, and comes in several solids and stripes. I got the solid black too for laying with black leggings.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a small, but could have probably gone with an XS

Striped Tunic Tee | Puffer Vest | Leggings | Slip-On Sneakers | Gold Bead Bracelets

If I didn’t see the label, I could have sworn this teddy bear jacket was J.Crew! Great quality and fun neon color pop.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a small.

Old Navy does sherpa right…this quarter-zip pullover is everything you want it to be…cozy, warm, super soft, and just the right length. At 50% off, how do you not grab multiple colors?!

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a small. 

Sherpa Pullover | Crop Flare Jeans | Similar Slip-On Sneakers

 

How about some darling pajama sets for holiday? I love Old Navy’s brushed flannel bottoms…they’re soft with stretchy waist and drawstring. They also launder really well. I get my kids new prints every year. I paired these with a fun ‘Bring the Joy’ graphic sweatshirt.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a small in both, but could probably do my usual size.

Graphic Sweatshirt | Pajama Pants | Cropped Jeans | Similar Slip-On Sneakers

 

If you prefer more neutral tones, this set couldn’t be any softer or cuter! The pants are a true fleece, so they’re super warm. The top is a stretchy knit waffle, that’s not too sheer.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing wearing small in both. 

Waffle Weave Tee | Leopard Lounge Pants

 

Another pajama pant option…these are a jogger style with elastic at the ankles and a drawstring waist. They’re the same brushed flannel we love, in the cutest holiday plaid print. The sweatshirt is oversized and a little boxy, but with a cute patch embroidery.

Fit Tip: I’m wearing a small in both, but could use my usual XS

J.CREW // 50% off your purchase with code EARLY

J.Crew always nails it in the sweater department, and they’re one of my go-tos this time of year. Starting with this cuter-than-cute leopard option. It’s a tall, but stretchy neck, with an oversized fit and slight high-low hem. It’s crazy warm, and not-at-all itchy. A total keeper for me!

Fit Tip: I’m wearing an XS

Leopard Turtleneck Sweater | Cropped Jeans | Similar Black Mules | Gold Bead Bracelets
