black friday shopping tips, how to shop black friday
If you follow me on Twitter, then you saw my tweet about people in Ohio who lined up for Black Friday sales 10 days in advance.
Well, you clearly don't have to be that crazed to score some major sales this Black Friday. From clothes and accessories that start at just $5 {thanks H&M} to beauty essentials for 10 bucks, you'll have no problem finding goods for yourself or holiday gifts for the ones you love. And since "Black Friday" sales now start on Thursday {or even earlier!} for many retailers, you can start shopping now or at least devise your game plan. There are so many deals out there and it's hard to navigate where to go {either in store or online}, so I've compiled 10 top Black Friday sales.

Target tall boots, Target and Looking Fly on a Dime

Earlier this week I did what I normally do at least once a week: I went to Target! As expected, I found a ton of affordable fall options, including some stylish outerwear, bold accessories and even remnants of the latest designer collaboration.I was really impressed with the variety of boots, luxe for less purses and I was amazed to find two racks full of Phillip Lim for Target pieces.

closet revamp, looking fly on a dimeSix denim shirts. 12 blazers. 20 pairs of jeans. These were some of the clothes I pulled out of my closet last weekend. Needless to say, I don't need six denim shirts, 12 blazers or 20 pairs of jeans. I realized I was suffering from a pretty common dilemma: an overstuffed closet where I buy the same items multiple times because I didn't realize I already owned them.
Sigh.
With fall unofficially here and officially arriving in a few weeks, I took two hours this weekend to get my closet together. And luckily, there were only two major steps involved. Not only will this revamped closet make it easier to get dressed, it also benefits the wallet. When your closet is clutter free, you know what you have, which means you won't spend money buying duplicates.

Affordable healthy food, Target cheap eats
I love Target. That's not a surprise. From their clothes to being obsessed with their infamous dollar bins, I always walk out of the store with something amazing. And I'm really fortunate that my local Target has a grocery section. This has become my go-to spot when I need some last minute items for dinner or a light bite.
And though I tend to find myself in the ice cream aisle {I'm obsessed with Talenti's sea salt caramel gelato!}, the store is stocked full of fresh, healthy eats.
People often say eating healthy strains the purse straps and it can depending on where you shop, but during a recent Target visit, I racked up on four bags worth of healthy and wallet friendly food.
