Black Friday is tomorrow and I’m cool about it, I don’t know what is the secret of my coolness about it, maybe because of these words that keep playing in my head since two weeks ago…
We’re operating like freaking robots around sales, remember Annette Bening on Women when she entered Saks and her brain turned to a strategic plan of what to get and what not. Black Friday is just like any other day and I’m completely chill about it because I got myself planned for any circumstances here.

Relax, Refresh and make priorities.
I only will buy what I want, and I know you say that to yourself everytime you enter any e-commerce site and they plan you so you get out with everything on your cart, the “only 2 in stocks” gets you every single time huh, WOMAN UP WOMAN!
You are a sophisticated educated woman who knows exactly what she needs from these sale days, timeless pieces that you’ll be proud that one day purchased then be handed to your grandchildren with the best story on how you got it. Nothing on the last trend that you’ve been so tired of watching scrolling Instagram and will be more tired of how people will sabotage it even more when they’ll buy it half priced.
However, look into the upcoming trends, the ones who you can establish, you can look into the future, aka the 2017 runways and take it from there.
If the piece will add to your closet, and I don’t mean what your mind convince you with— that it’ll go with everything and you need it right now, because your whole closet will be complete with just this pieces. If it’s something you truly dreamed of the whole last season since you watched it for the first time catwalking, if you visioned yourself with it everywhere and wished so many nights for this moment to happen, when you met in person— Is this kind of relations with clothes still exist? We need to talk more about this—then I can’t stop you.
Don’t fall into the buying, buying, bought, let me add it to the cart black hole. If you have it on your wishlist for 2 weeks then it’s only like, if it’s there for 6-8 weeks then it’s love, if it’s there 10 weeks then it’s admiration and this statics are build on experience. Aha.
That sums the black Friday for me and the holiday seasons shopping mind, I practiced to be in this shape and these are only the things I got my mind/heart on.
What about you!? What’s your mindset for Black Friday? and what’s the items you got your heart on!? Share, talk, and don’t shop without meeehhhhh.
*Like a boss, obv.
