Black Friday haul

This Friday was Black Friday.  The one day no one feels guilty for shopping.  So I noticed that this blog has substantially more international readers than American so a quick briefing on what Black Friday is is probably necessary. Skip the next paragraph if you already know.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Kay, so, the day before Black Friday is Thanksgiving; a day for thanks.  Most likely it is also the one day of the year where everyone across America is eating the same meal at around the same time; turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie.    Yep the good stuff.. well... my family decided to be very unorthodox and have a sushi night on Friday.  We basically did nothing on the actual Thanksgiving Day.  So back to Black Friday.  Black Friday is the biggest sale day in America.  EVERYTHING is on sale at their lowest prices.  Sounds great right? Well every shopper that day must suffer a bit to get what they want.  Meaning if every store is having huge sales... of course everyone is going to shop on that day which leads to trampling, pushing, trashing.. just a lot of bad stuff.  You literally have to fight to get that 60% off LCD TV.  You think you can outsmart the system by arriving early? Well think again because that's what everyone else is thinking too. People will make an event out of this day by camping out for a day or two outside of their favorite stores.  Its ridiculous.  The most notorious out of the stores with campers are Walmart, Best Buy, and malls in general.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

I personally don't go Black Friday shopping because the sales are pretty decent on the Saturday and Sunday after, so that's what I did this year. Smart eh?  Oh btw, online shopping is a great alternative as well for the obvious reason of not waiting in line 'n stuff.  Also, everything is marked down and has free shipping.

Well as you guys read, the title is "Black Friday haul" but i actually shopped today which is Sunday.  The deals were still good, but there were a lot less people.

Well I went to the mall with only one mission; to buy my Steve Madden Oxford Taps in cognac whether or not they were on sale, and I did.

They're SHOOO kyoot! I love 'em.

However, they weren't on sale.  I got them for $97.82 with tax

man... idk why my legs look so chubby.. maybe its the angle.

These are the boots I got.

They are by Nordstrom's brand, BP and are called BPRuston - leather in Cognac

They have nice detail AND i got them for super cheap. $92.33 with tax.

The craziest thing is they used to be like 180 bucks! I mean its hard to find nice leather boots under $100.

So I'm very pleased :)

So today was an awesome shopping day.  I spent less than 30 minutes to decide.  They were both just love at first sight. >u<

The only downside is... my occupation is full time student meaning i have no job therefore.. my wallet is considerably lighter.  None the less, I'm super happy!  I normally just wear my 4-5 year old, destroyed chucks.
