Black Friday Shopping: Expert Advice from a Former Nordstrom Stylist!

Article from Who What Wear - I tell Everyone To Buy On Black Friday SalesEarlier this month, I collaborated with Bobby Schuessler at Who What Wear, the international online publication, for an article about what to buy on Black Friday. This was a fun article to work on, and the full piece can be found here. Using my experience from my days as a Nordstrom stylist, I’ve highlighted items to consider shopping for during Black Friday. Plus, I’m also sharing sales from my favorite retailers. Get ready because there are so many fantastic sales happening in the next few days. I’m sure you’ll find some perfect gifts for your loved ones and maybe even a little something for yourself too. Happy shopping!

Look for Sweaters for you and for someone on your holiday list. Whether you prefer classic cashmere, stripes, Fair Isle, or eye-catching patterns, you’ll find a wide variety available during the Black Friday sale.

Where to Shop!

Let’s start with sweaters from Nordstrom. Most of us wear sweaters often, so having a good quality option in our wardrobe is nice. One of my go-to brands for sweaters to recommend is Vince. I’ve linked a few that are on sale below. Also, the Nordstrom cashmere sweaters are great gifts, too. I have several of the cashmere V-neck styles in my wardrobe.

Tuckernuck and Jenni Kayne are having amazing site wide sales and J.Crew is having up to 50% off sale on pretty much everything on their website.  Tuckernuck sale: 20% off sitewide, 25% off over $500, and 30% off of $1000. If you’re new to Tuckernuck, they offer a range of timeless, sophisticated, fun clothing, accessories, tablescapes and gifts. They are all about having a fun-filled life! Plus, they provide free shipping and easy returns when needed. Jenni Kayne is having a 25% sale off sitewide. Jenni Kayne has beautiful sweaters available in neutral tones, and the fisherman sweater is a personal favorite of mine. All her sweaters feel luxe and would make wonderful gifts.

2. Jeans

3. Boots

It’s boot season, and Black Friday is the perfect time to add a new style to your wardrobe or to give as a gift. I have my eye on tall boots, ankle boots with kitten heels, and any boot in a beautiful shade of brown

4. Designer Items

Nordstrom is currently running a fantastic holiday promotion on all designer items, including shoes, handbags, and clothing.

Also, when investing in a designer coat, shoes, or handbag, I recommend choosing a timeless piece you’ll enjoy wearing for many years. Here are some best sellers and favorite items I recommend.
