Black Friday Buys

For Black Friday, I went to the Orlando Premium Outlets with my mom and grandmother. We went around 10 pm a little after our Thanksgiving dinner at City Walk in Universal Studios. It was surprisingly really cold that night. I had to wear two jackets to stay warm. I didn't think Orlando could get so cold. First store we went to was Banana Republic.


They had some pretty nice sales going on, though not as great as the ones I've seen at the Banana Republic at the Leesburg Premium Outlets. My mom got a suit for 70% off. I got this shirt, which was originally $39.99, for $12.99. There was a blue version of this but unfortunately, my size was already out. Still, white is nice too.

Afterwards, we went to a few other stores. Went to Nike and my mom got two pairs of sneakers for a total of $68 (and that's with tax). We went to Toys R Us to buy some Christmas presents for the cousins. Then we passed by the Disney Store, which was opening at 12 am. Luckily, it was already almost midnight so we decided to wait in line. The line wasn't very long so we were one of the first people to get in.


My mom got a whole lot of these tiny purses for the daughters of her friends for Christmas. For me, I really wanted a Disney sweatshirt. This one was originally $49.95 but they were selling it for $12.99. I got a nice XL size and it is super comfy and soft. The Disney store was kind of crazy. Everyone was buying in bulk.

We went to a few other stores afterwards. I was looking for a circle scarf. Checked in Charlotte Russe, which was just chaos, and Claires, which didn't really have anything special going on. Looked in Lids for a present for a friend but they didn't have her size. Not many stores carry such a small size anyway.


Then at Ann Taylor Loft, they had this adorable circle scarf. It is knit and very thick. They had it in red, white, and purple. I got the red one. It was such a pretty color. It was originally $35 but I got it for 50% off. That was quite a nice deal.

So we met up with my grandma after that. Went to Adidas to find some shoes but I didn't find anything I liked in the women's section. I liked the shoes in the men's section. Oh well. We left after that and went back to the hotel. The next morning, we went back to the outlets again! This time I was with my mom, her sister, and her friend.



The first store we went to was Tory Burch, which is one of my mom's new obsessions. We didn't go during the night because the line was way too long. There was no line when we went. Everything in the store was still pretty expensive despite the discounts. However, if you spent more than $300, you get 25% off. So my mom, aunt, and their friend just combined their purchases. My mom got me this cute printed flat tote. The color is hibiscus pink with a Lorenzo bird design. Original price was $125 but we bought it for $49.99.

Then my mom went to Toys R Us again to get something. Meanwhile, my aunt and her friend and I went to the Prada store just for fun. We weren't really going to buy anything there. Everything is way too expensive.



Then we went to Lulu Lemon. It's athletic wear, which isn't really my style. My aunt pointed me over to their jackets and I found one that was super cute. It's a light water resistant jacket that nicely cinches at the waist. It fit me so nicely. Originally, it was more than $100 but it was on sale for $54. Couldn't resist!


Ended the day with a trip to the Chocolate Factory. A cute small store in the food court that sells lots of delicious things. I got a hot cocoa set and this delicious chocolate and m&m covered marshmallow. A good way to end the shopping day.
