Black Friday Update: BR doesn’t do 40% off often. Up until November they had only gone that deep (checks notes)… twice previously through all of 2023. So while this ran a couple weeks back during their big Holiday Preview sale, it’s relevant once again thanks to Black Friday. Anywhodiddly…
Why anyone would want to wear only clothes from one store, I don’t know. BUT. It does make for a fun experiment, especially when it comes to showing the versatility of some classic (or even trendy-ish) pieces. Here’s five clickable outfits that we mostly mined from the 40% off B.R. Sale.:

*NOTE: Going with a full zip instead of quarter-zip because with all the heavy kitchen work, Thanksgiving can get HOT, and you may need to take that sweater off. Full zip = no crazy-hair if you need to un-layer and re-layer. Also… going with a polo instead of a tucked in button down. Untucked = more comfortable. Because… food.
