It's official, unless I'm in the market for deeply discounted electronics...Black Friday is not in my foreseeable future. For the first time in a long time, I had zero interest in waking up at the crack of dawn, battling crowds or getting in a tug of war with a wild eyed woman over the last cashmere sweater marked 70% off. The salacious news coverage only solidified my thinking.

Instead, I opted to help my mom in the kitchen, run errands with my sister (which included crossing state lines to find a pair of boots that someone she knew had at Marshall's - we actually FOUND them!) And, after bribing her with lunch...she took me to a few thrift stores close by my parents house. I scored amazingness. Details to follow.

Speaking of zoos! I'm obsessed with animal motif clothes. Yeah, yeah. Animal prints are great but, actualanimals printed on your clothes is so much better! My dual giraffe sweatshirt makes me so happy!

PS -Remember my Crazy Like a Fox post about my lusty desires for foxes? ASOS Curve to the rescue with thisfab fox motif tee in plus size! AND Everything I'm wearing abides by my Personal Challenge- wearing clothes I've owned for a while!
