Did you know that it is a myth (in terms of sales) that Black Friday is the busiest shopping day of the year? While foot traffic is certainly very high, many people do not buy on Black Friday. The trend in recent years, according to the International Council of Shopping Centers, is that the Saturday before Christmas generates more sales for retailers than Black Friday. That data is relevant for the years 1995 – 2002. In the years 2003 and beyond, 2003 and 2005 were anomalies and did see Black Friday as the big winner.
Anyway … I’m not foolish, brave, insane enough to go shopping today (nor do I on Black Friday), but I still have some last minute errands to finish before the holidays are upon us. A perfect excuse, if you ask me, to wear my new faux fur Juicy Couture jacket.
On a whim, I stopped in the Juicy Couture store to see if their “Couture Couture” line was still in production (it’s not, I’m sad to say — such a pity, it was amazingly well made and so adorable) and instead saw the most darling tiered faux fur jacket. This was on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and I have been dying to wear it ever since. I also wear a Chloe top and Forever 21 skinny pants.
Check out the thick pile of the faux fur …
And, I break out my new Miu Mius from Resort 2010 to wear …
Well, I’m off. See you soon. — Carole
I love your new shoes! The coat is great too. I have a faux fur Juicy Couture one and I adore it. xoxo
