So, is everyone almost finished with their holiday shopping? I'm panicking because I am totally NOT — and while clicking around I've noticed that a lot of places are having pretty crazy sales.
SO — we thought we'd round up which stores are having which sales, as well as what they're promising for delivery dates.
We've noted the ones in bold that are still promising 12/24 delivery if you're hoping for Christmas gifts!
The list is in two parts: one is sales on workwear (because, hey, this is Corporette) — the second part is notes on gift ideas and delivery dates.

Help! I have a last minute local TV appearance (I’m a lawyer getting interviewed about an issue that’s big in my state. Not COVID but serious). What do I wear? I’m petite, pale skinned, dark shoulder length hair, dark brown eyes. This question is both “do I wear a suit” and “what colors”.
Jewel tones read well on tv on most complexions
Yes to jewel tones, and no complicated fussy bits anywhere. Visual simplicity.
Wear solid colors. I made the mistake of wearing a print blouse once and it looked like my clothing was moving!
Yes to suit. It’s just what people expect from a lawyer to project authority, even in a pandemic. Jewel-tone shirt without collar if possible (button-down if white or very light under suit can read young if that’s an issue for you).
I wouldn’t do a button-down; what if a button pops open, what if the collar misbehaves and comes out of the suit on one side but not the other. I’d do a silk shell, that way there will be no distractions.
Huh? Didn’t you also say this yesterday?
This whole thread except your comment is from last week. Weird.
I would go with a sleeved suiting or other business formal dress in a jewel tone or navy with a statement necklace. Maybe a boucle blazer or other blazer that is less formal?
I would wear a suit or at least a suit jacket with a simple shirt underneath.
