I opened up my inbox and found an e-mail with subject “What to wear for holiday shopping” from website Piperlime.com. Yes, please, to their suggestion:

And speaking of holiday shopping, we’re T-10 hours or so until the Modern Gal starts her Black Friday shopping extravaganza. I admit I’m way behind on my Christmas gift planning, but I’m sure things will come together tomorrow.

By the way, Real Simple (a must-read for any modern gal), has a fantastic resource for surviving the holiday shopping season at their Black Friday survival webpage. There are tips there on how to keep from spending too much money, how to try on clothes quickly, how to keep your plethora of shopping bags from hurting your back, etc. There’s also a handy holiday gift budget sheet, and the Modern Gal just loves tools to help her budget.

Happy bargain hunting! If anyone finds any really awesome deals, please share 🙂
