Pro Tips for Shopping a Sale & New Year Sales Picks
New Years Sale Shopping
Happy New Year, you guys! I donβt know if this is just wishful thinking but, it feels like weβre maybe, kinda, sorta, possibly getting closer to a place we can wear cute clothes againβ¦ Fingers and toes crossed! So, in the hopes of manifesting more social interactions (gosh, I miss people), Iβm looking for some exciting things to pep up the old wardrobe. And what better than New Yearβs sale shopping?
There are some CRAZY sale shopping savings happening right now (like up to 70% off!) So, consider this my cliff notes version (oh I really just dated myself β I believe theyβre now called spark notes) to the sale stuff thatβs out there and that might make a nice addition and help zhuzh up your looks.
Thereβs not a lot of rhyme or reason to these picks β just pieces that spoke to me. And in my experience, thatβs the best way to shop a sale. Itβs challenging to go in to a sale (or a thrift or consignment store for that matter) with a specific shopping list, because youβll never quite know what youβll find. For folks with shiny object syndrome like me, itβs a blast, and a treasure hunt in itβs truest form. But for those that like a purpose and are uncomfortable veering off course, sale shopping can be overwhelming. Thus, the handy, dandy cliff notes β¦ and some tips.
Tips for Shopping a Sale
Just because itβs hard to shop a sale with a specific list, there can still be a plan of attack. Yes, have items in mind that you want and need to perk up your wardrobe. But if there is a piece that makes your heart soar, thatβs not on your list, take time to consider it, thoughtfully.
How to Shop a Sale
Before you hit βadd to cartβ, ask yourself these questions:
Are there 3 items in your closet, you can picture wearing with it? Cool get it!
Are there 3 places youβd can wear this item? Awesome, add to cart.
Do you currently have 2 or more items in your closet that fill the same role? Hard pass, unless itβs youβre getting rid of your current pieces and this is a replacement.
My New Year Sales Picks
As with any sales, itβs a you snooze, you lose scenario. Items are limited and there was fairly good availability when I hit publish. Also, take the time to look β what Iβm showing is just the tip of the sale iceberg β thereβs A LOT of good stuff!
Shopbop
Shopbop always has great sales. I scored the Lela Rose dress I wore for my daughterβs bat mitzvah at CRAZY savings from a Shopbop sale.
Anthropologie
Anthroβs winter tag sale is epic. Save up to 60% off the original price. Itβs their biggest sale of the season.
Lululemon
Lulu has a whole buncha stuff on sale under their βwe made too muchβ tab. Good news if you know your size and style. These pieces, while at a great discount, are final sale. So please be aware. Most of the items I picked have some wiggle room regarding size, but not the leggings.
Saks Fifth Avenue
Saksβ designer sale is up to 70% off! I included a few pricier items as well. But held off on the long line sable vest that was beyond gorgeous β it was reduced from $50k to $35K, a significant savings, however, a bit out of my price range!!
Bloomingdales
Iβve been a Bloomieβs girl since I was 6 years old and my Aunt Candy bought me the the Bloomieβs days of the week undies. After that, I was hooked! I highlighted the sale items, but there is also a buy more get more event going on. Save up to 30% off full priced merchandise with code NEWYEAR.ο»Ώ
