The sales have arrived and you finally have the excuse to open your wallet without guilt.
Yay!
Be careful though:
the lowered cost must not change your approach to purchases
Here are a few rules to follow
1. Clarify your ideas
Mark the items you miss and the ones you need to freshen up.
Maybe now is the right time to ask your wardrobe to see where your style is going. Look at the items in your closet and try to ask the questions I wrote in this article about the reorganization of the wardrobe, you may have some surprises.
2. Make yourself comfortable
Shopping during sales is a big challenge. It's hot in the shops, there's a crowd, and in the end, you always get sweaty and scarred up. So opt for a comfortable look, clothes that you find quick to remove and put back on such as a nice jersey dress, and wear a jacket that is not bulky if you decide to take it off and hold it in your hand. For the same reason, keep a bottle of water in your purse.
The cooler your mind, the more aware your purchases are.
3. Don't get carried away by the opportunity
Is your closet full of things you bought on sale and never used?
Before you go to the checkout (real or virtual) take a moment and think: how will I use this item? What will I match it with? If you can imagine the clothes in action in your everyday life buy without hesitation, otherwise think a little more.
Don't get caught up in the anxiety of the downturn and use the technique of letting the possible purchases in the cart decant, leave them there for half an hour and then come back, observe them and reason about what they tell you about you and your style.
And take advantage of this moment of shopping as an exercise to understand what are really the right clothes for you and buy what looks like you, as I explained in this article on how to find your style.
4. Focus on accessories
The accessories cost less and allow us to experiment because we know that during the day if we do not feel comfortable, we can take them away.
Have fun daring with the earrings and use them to light your face.
In particular, among the things that I always recommend to buy on sale are the socks. Each season the shades change slightly and stocking always allows you to have the right point of color to combine with an outfit for a harmony of color that suggests care.
And then two socks of different colors can make the same dress look different. Can't you believe it? Look at the combinations I created in this post on how to take advantage of the sales even in case of a limited budget.
5. Quality is important
It's true with sales you spend less but every euro you spend is a euro you've earned with effort. It's always better to prefer quality clothes that will last over time.
How to match 5 garments to focus on and that will be in trend next year.
1. The pleated skirt, feminine and refined.
Choose it metallic and use it to renew the most classic office look.
2. Pink, the main color for next season.
It suits everyone, just find the right shade. Warmer and more intense for you who have a dark complexion, dirtied with blue or dusty like powder for you who have diaphanous skin.
On the other hand, Christian Dior used to say, "Every woman should have pink in her closet, it's the color of happiness and femininity".
Use it to make cropped pants more romantic, in the wide pleated version.
3. The cape
A true must in the season, it accompanies the body with its over and warm shapes.
4. The suit to wear as an evening dress.
If you find it in jeans and you love the country chic style, don't miss it.
5. The dress with maxi print
Romantic, floral, pop, choose the print according to your style, it will be perfect to wear when it will be a little less cold with the leather jacket and the wide-brimmed hat.
Off the list, finally, here's a total white look for you to prepare for the invasion of white that we will have next season.
A perfect color also for winter to feel like a snow queen in your everyday life.
And if, like me, you're pale, let yourself be helped by a beautiful deep red lipstick.
