It's the biggest (and most overwhelming) shopping month of the year. This week, Chelsea Hui and Lucinda Pikkat are letting us in on their complete survival guide to the November sales. Chelsea admits she's a reformed impulse shopper who used to buy "on the vibe," while Lucinda is our Type A friend that relies on the sales for more practical purchases.

They're sharing their non-negotiable rules for shopping Black Friday without the buyer's remorse, from doing a full "inventory check" of your current wardrobe to why you should use the sales to stock up on the "boring" basics (like Bonds and activewear) and all the gifts for the entire year ahead.

EVERYTHING MENTIONED:

Chelsea's Boujie: Jil Sander Embellished draped wool & cashmere-blend sweater $3828 down to $2297

Lucinda's Boujie: Camilla & Marc Seidler Coat $950 down to $570

Chelsea's Budget: Meshki Rian strapless knit mini dress - cream $109 down to $87

Lucinda's Budget: Cotton On Body Relax Short Sleeve Sleep Set $69.99 down to $41.99
