The peak of sale season may already be in our rearview mirrors, but really, I find that I get the best shopping done at the very end of the summer, when prices are the lowest and you really have to dig through virtual sale bins in order to score something big. Personally, I’ve been monituring the discount scene for weeks, waiting for the best possible moment to attack those items on my wishlist that I could never afford at full price. And now, with leftover clearance pieces and Labor-Day Weekend deals teaming up, I’ve reached that perfect last window before all of those beautiful red slashes disappear.
As we speak, a handful of sales are going on. There’s the 25%-off Matches code that you have to spend $300 to qualify for (which is not a hard feat given how elite the selection is) and a secret Tory Burch sale that everyone in the NYC Who What Wear office has been whispering about. Net-a-Porter’s doling out an extra 20% off of already marked-down pieces from the summer, while J.Crew’s at 40% off almost everything on its site. Suffice to say, I know what I’m going to be doing on this Friday afternoon before the holiday weekend: shopping.
