My Black Friday Gap haul - YouLookFab Forum

I hit the Gap store by 9:00 this morning for the Black Friday sale. Everything was 50% off until 10:00.

I'm down to two pairs of dress pants, one is nearly 6 years old, so I've been eyeing up their modern boot cut premium pants. I'm a rectangle so if pants fit in the waist they usually don't fit in the hips. These turned out to be a great cut for me (I know it's impossible to see the detail in navy pants in a photo).

So I bought two pair, in navy and black, a cascading cardigan in navy with grey trim, a lounging t-shirt, two pairs of tights (one in purple!) and two pairs of boxers for my husband. All total $130 or so. Oops, there goes December's budget in November. But I'm happy! I feel like I really have a good working wardrobe now!

The pants are a regular inseam so they work very nicely with 1 1/2-2" heels. So I think I'll hem one pair to flats and leave one for heels. I'm usually in flats but I do like the leg line created by bootcuts with a heel. This lets me wear my tall heeled boots with pants to stretch my shoe wardrobe also.

you did great... no battle wounds either!

No, just waiting in line for 45 minutes! But they didn't have my size online so it was my only choice. I was too dazed to be traumatized by the mall.

They look great. Well done! And I have to mention - that top looks fabulous with your hair!

Ohhh, you brave soul!! You did great!

Great haul, Kristine. You are much braver than I am to venture forth into the madness!
Sounds like you survived unscathed AND with great stuff.

Looks really great! Patience paid off!

Great looking pants. Maybe it's time to revisit the Gap. I haven't gone there in ages.

Very nice purchases! And wow, 50% off is great. That top is beautiful on you and looks great with the pants.

Stunning! Those colors look really good on you. You have done a great haul there. Looking forward to seeing more of your work wardrobe in action. Sounds like you have got some great basics. $130 for all that!! Green eyes here.

The pants fit nice. Sounds like it was worth your time venturing over there.

Thursday night I headed to ToysRUs. I had to wait 30 minutes outside in the cold and then when I got in, it was a total madhouse! They tried to control the check-out lines by establishing a "follow the blue lines on the floor" system but it snaked through various narrow aisles. I had a hard time squishing between those waiting in line so that I could see what was on the shelves. When I tried to ask an employee where I could find something on their flyer, I was just pointed to a general area, not told what number aisle nor personally led there. I had one item in my hand, but when I figured that I would be waiting in line forever, saving the 8 dollars just didn't seem worth it. On my way out, I was even more frustrated to see that the store had at least three registers that they were not even using! Ugh!

On a positive note, I did go out Friday afternoon and I am 4 presents away from completing my Christmas shopping!

Wow, great gap loot! That was one store I am sorry I missed but the gap was not in the mall I visited. And I was not willing to brave the crowds to go to the one near me that does have the gap later in the day.
