I say for sales, get something you wouldn't be daring enough to get at full price. Last year, I almost got a pair of peeptoe booties in boring black, but I decided for the price that I was paying I should branch out and instead got a neutral color -- people admire them all the time! I don't think I would have enjoyed them as much in basic black.
Thanks for the tips - loving those satin pumps!
sALES SALES SALES!!:)
I often have my sale goggles on :( but then i ask myself it it wasn't said designer/on sale would I still want it. Navigating those sales are a tricky tricky thing!
I NEED Abaeté and this Halston dreeses, and this great white Loeffler Randall boots!
oh my gosh, the first one to comment how cool! Anyway, great picks. I have been eyeing Mulberry Baywater for a while now. That ostrich in hot pink is tooo savvy!
fabulous!! as always...
I really like the white boots. I never wear white and maybe this is a sign I should just jump right in and start.
Great entry, as always, and goodness that gorgeous Botkier wristlet totally stole my heart, although everything is lovely indeed!
And thanks so much for your sweet comment and encouraging words, I appreciate them so very much! <3

I tend to flip-flop between what WendyB does and just buying things I know I would get a lot of wear out of. This year during Boxing Week I bought a satiny halter vest, something I wouldn't normally go for, but I also stocked up on tights, undies, and bought an everyday cardigan.
Absolutely fantastic sale items...that Mulberry bag is to die for! And who can ever resist 50-70% off?!
xo
good point on the "sale goggles" I used to fall in that trap a lot. Now I only buy pieces that I really want regardless of sale but the sale price definitely helps!
The dresses are fancy, love them :)
a kiss :))
hot dang, those loeffler boots are amazing! Also love the abaete asymmetric dress.
this is a really helpful entry and you picked some great items. i'm loving that mulberry bag. i love ostrich skin!
Great post, CC!
I adore Mulberry bag and forever stylish accesories and clothes!

I love buying, but buying sales is like going to heaven!!!

Ok, "sale" is already enough to make me drool - but then you posted those jeans and I completely lost all will power. I'm going to check those out. Everyone says you can't have too many pairs of denim (I agree).

Hi there-the Tibi dress is fabulous my dear, lovely picks all round!
I always buy in sales period pieces of clothing that are quite rare or dary and that I would not buy at their normal price.
Yesterday I got myself a black jupsuit for just 9,99€!
Hey hun,
Love the LaROK skinnies, and those boots on the model wearing the Twenty8Twelve coat are pure bliss!
I adore sales, just got a Sass'n'bide bandage dress and I loves it. Much :)
Have a great day!

The Bop Basics tee dress is adorable and can be dressed up or down, which is great. Also the Laila Azhar side drape dress is amazing. YAY for sales!
so love that white one shoulder dress!
kisses from las vegas
the white abaete dress is gorgeous!
I found your blog through a comment you left on that hilarious(!!!!) Rufus/Gossip Girl site. (Should I say that in public?) I'm not comfortable enough yet to admit I am a 'gossip girl fan' or even that I watch the show. I'm older than you so it looks really pathetic, but luckily I have teenage daughters I can pin it on. ("Oh well, the girls had that silly show on and I was in the living room folding laundry so I had to sit through the entire episode...yes, it was a really big load of laundry I had to fold...)
Anyway very glad my guilty and shameful pleasure lead me to your site! I am a jewelry designer who works from home and my couture could definately use some inspiration. My pathetic New Years resolution was to actually to get dressed in real clothes each day! (Sweats are so dang comfortable!)
A woman in her late thirties that folds laundry,watches tv, and lives in sweat pants. My... I am really painting an alluring and captivating portrait of myself.
At least my sweats and t's are always accesorized with awesome jewelry! ha!

Abaete is a fav of mine, and that one-shoulder number is a very flattering cut.
love love love the beige I'll call it a 'Sargent Pepper' jacket above......very fashionable!
I will be purchasing these LaROK skinny pants with the GUARANTEE that I look like the photo when I wear them!
ENJOY!
