Black Friday - Buyer's Remorse


ROSEMARY HARRIS: So Black Friday is over. I spent the day at home writing and stuffing envelopes and sending emails (I had a free book offer on my newsletter and over 1500 people responded!)
I didn't spend a dime. Am I un-American?
I have friends who camped out at their favorite stores waiting for the doors to open and one who is already trying to unload an HP laptop that she bought on Friday. (No idea if it was a proposed gift that's already been rejected or she just couldn't pass up a great buy.)
I guess we've all done it. Bought something on sale that you normally wouldn't have purchased - just because it was on sale.
My very abbreviated list -
-The one-shoulder lilac sequined, attached on one side by velcro strips dress which I've never worn. It's Armani. Need I say more?
-The knee high orange boots (Donna Karan) that only pinched a little in the store.
-The black Tracy Tooker hat I wore once because I thought it made me look like Audrey Hepburn.
-The silver platform sandals. No idea what the thinking was here. Maybe I thought disco was coming back.
Any shopping mistakes you'd like to share as the holiday season kicks into high gear?
