Black Friday: The Year Of Sweatpants

Black Friday: The Year Of The Sweatpants on vickiarcher.com


We could call it that, right?

Hand on heart I have never worn sweat pants so much in my life and now I even have multiple pairs. This is really a first for me. I mean the sweat pants we live and lounge in, not those strictly for gym use.


So I am thinking this weekend, now more than ever is the moment to take advantage of the sales and find some great buys. I’m focusing on comfortable clothing, sweats or otherwise, to relax, revive and thrive in. There will be plenty of moments later in the weekend to find a pretty holiday dress and get our dressing-up back on.


I remind myself of pertinent “strategy” points; learned the hard way over the years.

* Buy only what you know you want.


*Consider as if the item is full price, meaning you would be prepared to pay full odds so any reductions are truly genuine.


*Choose what you know works; save adventure for another day.


*Take advantage of the prices and replace the classics.


*Buy only if you need or love an item more than the one at home.



After my shopping spree I do take note:

* If a new item hasn’t been worn within 3 days it is unlikely to be; no excitement over something new in the first three days then euphoria is unlikely to strike.


When 7 days are up and you haven’t worn it, fill in the paperwork and hit return.


After 14 days and there have been no outings, the newest purchase could be considered a mistake; remember for next time.



With that in mind, here we go. xv
