With Autumn-Winter 09 collections creeping into magazines and corners of stores, many retailers are beginning to clear old stock, making way for new. Standard procedure, but one that can make us feel as though we’ve been cheated out of a summer. Looking at things positively, we have lots of new styles, colours, shapes and accessories to get excited about and more imminently we have the mid-season sales to keep us busy.
With many weeks of summer (hopefully) ahead of us, countless festivals yet to attend and many warm occasions to grace with our presence, we still have plenty of time to make the most out of Summer 09 fashions - many of which are currently going for around half their original price.
Another great thing about this middle-period is that we have access to next seasons’ fashions so we can pick transition items in the sale that will see us through the next few months in style, whilst saving some pennies in the process.
Some super sales we have picked up on include the ASOS 70 per cent off bonanza, 50 per cent off at Topshop and Warehouse and multiple money-off offers at Miss Selfridge.
One thing to watch out for when sale shopping online is whether they have the item in your size; all too often I have been over-excited by a gorgeous item at an even more gorgeous price, only to realise my size is out of stock. A good tip to avoid disappointment is to search sale items by size, it also saves a lot of time. Websites such as Topshop do this automatically, but with others this is not always the case.
Another good sale shopping tip is to avoid buying an item just because it is a great bargain. A piece that has a massive amount of money off is not a bargain if you never wear it. Bear in mind what’s in your wardrobe and opt for sale items that will go with what you already have.
