Welcome to my edit of the best Black Friday sales in my classic color palettes…all of these products are from The Outnet. Use code: BLACKFRIDAY at checkout for 25% extra off. This code doesn’t work on all items, such as clearance items and Just In. This sale is really good for already on sale items, and many Balmain items are included in the sale. I have the Stella McCartney coat in the cardigan style, and it really is amazing quality. The Outnet also offers the cardigan style in a navy blue color way. I don’t think you can ever go wrong with a sweater dress or a leather skirt, and these are by far the most stunning leather skirts I have ever seen. There are a lot of sales this Black Friday, but most websites offer from 20-30% off. In my opinion, The Outnet is the best because you can get a 25% discount on luxury items already on sale.
Black Friday 2020
As we approach Black Friday, I wanted to “throw together” a few luxury looks that are literally what dreams are made of. Though I am not able to splash out on a Chanel classic flap right now, I do like to have a luxury wishlist in mind before going cyber crazy when Black Friday sales launch. Being conscious of the quality and style that I value, will prevent me from overspending on fast fashion and just shopping because something is on sale. This pink Balmain cardigan looks unbelievable, but I would never spend this amount of money on a cardigan.
If I happen to find it pre-loved at some point, and it is 65-70% off retail price, then I would consider purchasing. I have seen amazing Balmain pieces in amazing condition on TheRealReal for a fraction of the retail price, and I recommend knowing exactly what you’re looking for when browsing reselling retailers. While most of these featured items are available on The Outnet, the houndstooth Balmain cardigan shown below is exclusively available on MyTheresa.
I am so in love with this 2 piece Balmain set. I absolutely adore how Claire Chanelle styled it and she is 100% my inspiration for this. The cardigan would like incredible with any white dress, thought it is quite the splurge, especially for both the cardigan and the skirt. If you are looking for a game changing outfit to really make a statement, this might be the investment for you.
The Outnet is currently offering 25% off clearance items. That is AMAZING!!! Typically, the clearance category offers 70% or more off retail, and with this promo, you get an extra 25% discount. For a limited time, they are also offering 22% regular priced items. It will work for the Balmain dress above, however it did not work for another Balmain sweater dress. It also didn’t apply for higher price point Zimmerman pieces. If you see something you love, try the code before checking out and maybe you can save an extra 22%.
In full transparency, I have no affiliation with The Outnet. It is just my go-to shopping spot for high end apparel at a more accessible price. Instead of shopping my heart out at a handful of retailers this Black Friday, I will be focusing on a few specific investment pieces.
Farfetch Mini-Haul
Because I was resourceful and did most of my Black Friday shopping at Unclaimed Baggage, I was able to make a few splurges on a luxury retailer. I didn’t want any returns or regrets, so I carefully considered every single purchase. I selected only classic pieces that were lacking in my wardrobe, and that are versatile and lasting.
After comparing my wishlists on Farfetch and Net-A-Porter, Farfetch’s promotion of 30% off on sale items was too good to pass up. I still only bought two items..perhaps the best Black Friday purchases that I’ve ever made…
The white blouse from LoveShackFancy can be worn to dinner, on the weekend, with jeans, or in the Spring with skirts and shorts. It has the perfect amount of crop and puff sleeve and the small is a perfect fit. I have several great statement tops, but needed a classic Victorian style blouse that can be worn over and over.
The square neckline is very flattering and I love how this top highlights the waistline. Paired with high-waisted pants or jeans, this will create a very leg-elongating look.
Now, onto my favorite Black Friday purchase. It is my first real designer belt purchase. I fell head over heels for the pastel pink logo with the pink and black ribbon belt.
I wear black almost every other day, and the pop of pastel pink with that, adds the right amount of color. It is modern and fresh, but still with a feminine touch. It gives any outfit a more statement look and will look phenomenal with black denim.
And let me introduce my new favorite fashion retailer for high-end looking but more affordable fashion…Fashion Bunker. For Black Friday, they offered 25% off full price items.
After a long search for the perfect camel coat, I decided on this light nude option by Keepsake. This brand offers amazing, high quality pieces that look very designer, and Fashion Bunker offers the best selection of Keepsake. I love an ultra pale nude shade…and this wrap style and dramatic lapels is very slimming and modern.
This “Lucky” coat is more special than designer versions I have seen. It also has a much more tailored distinct look than a camel teddy or basic wool coat. And when you get a classic color, you only need to invest in one fabulous coat. I will be wearing this year after year. And I actually love the style more than versions I saw on Net-A-Porter.
I hope you did some resourceful Black Friday shopping. I expect similar sales to continue after the holidays to celebrate Boxing Day.

Black Friday at HBX
If you love a little luxury, HBX is a great place to focus your attention Black Friday. These mini bags are a great gift option if you want just a “little luxe.”
I got a little carried away with the selection of belt bags, but they are a better price than a full-sized handbag and are definitely on trend this year.
Give a gift that packs a punch. If you love a print or something that is a bit more statement, this selection from Prada does all the talking…
I’m including a bit of everything…whether you just want a little fashion treat or are on the hunt for a show-stopping gift.
How cute are these bedazzled barrettes for a stocking stuffer?
Perhaps the best belt bag is this pink and black Prada saffiano leather one, a mini version of the Prada Cahier.
A pink shearling bag? Umm….yes!!!
After you shop for yourself, I recommend browsing for gift options on HBX. They have unique and thoughtful items that not everyone will have under their tree. Here are a few of my favorites…
Have fun Black Friday shopping! As you shop, keep your signature style, shopping budget, and wardrobe needs in mind. There are definitely amazing sales launching this year (the best I’ve ever seen!) and I will be updating you very soon on my Black Friday finds:)
Zimmerman Sale
While I love a good basic, I have fallen hard lately for statement florals that amp up the femininity and can be styled in a more edgy way. I gravitate to Zimmerman when it comes to dresses.
Zimmerman creates day-to-night girly dresses, that transcend the seasons and look stunning paired with modern accessories.
I only recommend dresses that I see myself wearing and loving for years to come. Each of these is definitely an investment.
I do prefer to get high-end dresses, statement pieces and eye-catching prints when I can get them on sale. I do re-wear my prints, but still can’t re-wear them the same way I could a plain black dress, so getting a discount is smart shopping.
I do believe that separates are more practical, but a well-made dress is a one-piece outfit that makes getting dressed, effortless. These are my top 6 investment dresses. Yes, they pack a punch, but they also have an aura of classic femininity about them.
Clicking the image above will take you to the stunning selection of Zimmerman dresses offered on Net-A-Porter. I have also included links below for each dress shown above. Happy Shopping!
