It's coming ladies, the biggest day of the shopping year! Whether you love it or hate it, Black Friday is an event that requires planning, patience and determination
(even just to get into the parking lot). The last thing we want to worry about is what to wear amidst the chaos, so here's a fail proof outfit to weather the shopping storm.
Stilettos are of course a beautiful addition to any street style photo, but how many of us will be rocking a 5-inch heel when negotiating the Target throngs this Friday? Probably 0%. Of course, if you have the guts to brave Black Friday in heels, power to you! But a sensible pair of sneakers is much more practical, and luckily for us right on-trend too.
Apparently the fashionistas' sneaker of choice is New Balance, a shoe I typically associate with my dad and P.E. teacher; however the classic sensibility of this sneaker is the perfect addition to a casual shopping suit. I'm constantly fighting the fashion battle between comfort and style, but I always prefer to do my shopping in an ensemble that will inspire me to make smart purchases. This suit and sneakers combo ticks all the boxes!
For this look I paired a simple black blazer with easy fit drawstring pants
(which we'll be thankful for post-Thanksgiving). Add a watch to keep the trip on track, an ipad case for quick price comparisons and digital shopping lists, a carryall tote, and of course some stylish kicks. What's your Black Friday uniform?
