Although stores definitely advertise it, I feel like I have a little secret. Did you know many stores start their black Friday sales the Monday before Thanksgiving? Express is one of them! As long as you’re signed up for their rewards points, (no credit card necessary- I will never point you to a credit card) you can get 50% off everything NOW and beat the crowds! Not only can you enjoy shopping before the rush but you can also bet on a much better selection. You can also shop the sale online in the comfort of your own home now!

Today, Charlotte and I decided to stroll through several stores that have started their sales already and got many Christmas gifts out of the way while I was also able to put some holiday outfits together. We have several different events coming up so I was thrilled to find the best pieces for them at Express.

I was on cloud 9 with Express’ color palettes and textures for this season. Blush, lavender, blues and creamy neutrals everyyywhere along with velvet and fuzzy, soft materials. 😍

Whether you’re looking for dressy, holiday pieces or cozy items, (or both as I was) the prices are excellent and the selection is beautiful!

Metallic Turtleneck Sweater / Leopard Print Long Sleeve Tee (under $20!) / Blue Velvet Dress / Pom Beanie / Earrings (these have to be my favorite find 😍) / Fragrance – Lace smells SO good! / Cozy Sweater / Pom Slipper Socks / My Rug

Happy shopping!
