Helpful Tips For Making The Most Of This Sale…

I know what you might be thinking…”its the beginning of July, why would I be thinking about fall clothing when I am at the pool with my kids in 90 degree heat?” But this is actually the perfect time to start shopping and save tons of money, AND help you plan & create a strategic wardrobe that you love come fall.

• Use this time during the slower, summer months to evaluate your closet. Access what worked for last fall/winter & what didn’t. Then get rid of what you didn’t wear or like. Don’t wait for the busyness of back-to-school and all the fall happenings, start NOW.

• Figure out your budget. You always want to go into this sale knowing & sticking to a budget that works for you and your family! Otherwise you will find yourself over buying and possibly feeling remorseful! I

• Strategically stock up on wardrobe essentials like premium denim, boots, jackets, sweaters, basics, and a pair of statement shoes (this is what I invest in every year) to help me cultivate a purposeful wardrobe come fall. These are the types of items that I wear day-in and day-out, so they are what I want to fill my closet with.

*I will be be hand picking & sharing wardrobe staples like these during the sale. Plus, I will showing you several ways to style all of them in order to seamlessly add them to your own current wardrobe.

• Shop early! Popular items sell out quickly, they do re-stock some items for the public sale, but if you see something you love or need, order it right away! They offer amazing free & easy shipping/returns. Don’t hesitate, because most likely it will be gone! You can always return it. But there is nothing worse then missing out on something you really needed or wanted, and its gone for good!
