Hi guys! Soooo I have recently discovered something about myself that I never knew before…I LOVE SHOPPING A GOOD SALE! Now, at the risk of sounding like an idiot, snob, or worse, hear me out. I am a recovering retail employee of many years. As such, I never cared about sales because I always shopped with a discount, which was more often than not, better than the promotional prices and discounts being offered by various retailers. Now that those beautiful employee discount days are behind me (bitter sweet, really) it just makes sense that I should be more aware of how much I spend on clothes, accessories, and beauty products, because I promise you, I don’t intend to slow down my rate of shopping.
I discovered just how amazing sale shopping can be and how much product is eventually offered at promotional prices this past holiday season while shopping for…my family, I swear. Like maybe three things for me, tops. Basically, my point is: if you are patient, vigilant, and dedicated to monitoring the pieces you want, you can get everything your little hearts desire, without breaking the bank! So satisfying!
That being said, I’ve been busy doing a little sale shopping of my own lately, and you’re in luck. I’m sharing my top sales picks with you to shop right now. Get out those credit cards ladies and gents, you’ve got some work to do. Oh yeah, and one last thing: sale prices will help you save money, unless you are buying in bulk! Hahah good luck!

- Madewell has some of the best sales around and if you are willing to wait to get your items, everything will eventually get marked down. Believe me, it’s worth it. Fill up those shopping carts and keep checking back each week to see if the prices have gone down. It works like a charm. Also, they regularly do additional percentages off the sale prices so make sure you scour their site for some promo codes! What I’m loving from them right now:
The Transport Weekender Bag is the perfect travel bag for a girl on the go, and it literally never gets marked down…like never ever. It’s simple, timeless, chic, and most importantly totally functional. Run, don’t walk to buy this before everyone else does!
The Rivington Sweater Coat is THE BEST! Ok ok, admittedly, I purchased this sweater at full price because I HAD to have it, and I don’t regret it because I have worn it so much! Speaking of chic, this drapey cardigan is perfect for that cool-girl-minimal look that is so hot right now. Also how cute will you look traveling in this sweater? All you need now is the Weekender bag and some Gucci mules. Voilà!
This Denim Necktie Shirt is so cute on, it’s actually annoying! I’m obsessed with it because it looks cute with everything! Want to wear it under skinny, black overalls? Please do, it’ll look great! Want to wear it tucked into a lacy pencil skirt? Go ahead, it will look amazing! Want to try and pull off that forever cool denim on denim look and do a boyfriend tuck with this top into a pair of straight leg jeans? Do it, it will be perfection!
2. Aritzia doesn’t really seem like the place I should send you in a post about the glory of sale shopping because their sale prices are notoriously…underwhelming. Or so you thought! If you can muster up a little patience ( I know, there’s that annoying word again) Aritzia goes through multiple rounds of markdowns in their sales, and the prices get downright outstanding!
The Henriette Blouse by Le Fou is such a stunning piece and it was originally pretty pricey since it is part of the luxe capsule collection that Aritzia puts out once a season. Now that it’s on sale, it’s time to pull the trigger! I personally looovvveee this vibrant red, but it comes in multiple colors, some of which are neutral. I mean, how often can you buy lovely silk blouses for $74.99? Almost never, that’s how often! Go get it quick!
The Wilfred Rainbow Bord Blanket scarf is so cute, cozy, and easy to wear! It comes in a cream and a navy, both of which have a rainbow stripe border at the edges that adds a fun, yet subtle pop of color to any outfit! I honestly can’t say enough great things about Aritzia’s scarves, but I know they can get a little pricey. Soooo when they go on sale for 50% off, you buy them and you buy them in every single color!
I hope you lovelies enjoy this post and I hope you visit these sites and do some serious shopping! Cheers!
