Get massive savings coupled with a huge self-confidence boost this weekend: So many retail brands want to claim you as their bestie. Of all the Friends and Family sales going down, Theory, 3.1 Phillip Lim, and Donna Karan are those high-end acquaintances who will convince you to spend the big bucks with all their glamor and cool, while Madewell, ASOS, and Piperlime will hit you up for some laid-back fun time. Regardless of the sale, being so popular has never been easier on your wallet. And try not to take the expiration date on their friendship too hard: Friends come and go, but great style is forever. 19 sales not enough for you? Tell us what we've missed in the comments.
