5 things we do not buy in the sales ☝🏻 Sales can be brilliant when used strategically. They’re the moment to secure those pieces that are usually slightly beyond reach - the ones that genuinely elevate your wardrobe. But to shop well, we also need a clear list of what not to buy: 1. Items we’ve never considered before. If it wasn’t on your radar pre-sale, it’s most likely an impulse purchase. Decide your priorities before the discounts begin. 2. Duplicates of what we already own. If you already have a version you prefer, the second one will sit unworn. The exception is true wardrobe workhorses like good basics that you go through. 3. Pieces outside the budget No discount is worth going into debt for. If you love it, add it to a future wishlist instead. 4. Items we only like when they’re discounted If the only appealing thing about it is the price tag, it’s not meant for your wardrobe. 5. The big-reduction distraction A great markdown doesn’t make it a great purchase. Use price-per-wear as your decision lens. Smart sales shopping means staying focused on your style, your needs, and the long-term value of what you bring home. Have you ever bought something in the sales and regretted it later? I certainly have in my shopaholic days. 🤍You can find the items I’m wearing in my link in bio, or just comment “link” and I will DM the links to you 🤍 …and if you want to start your own wardrobe journey, I suggest you begin with the 7 day wardrobe reset.
