READY, SET, GO !
Some hate it, some love it: Season sales. Personally, during the first sale days, I try to avoid as many shopping streets as I can because those first days are often the busiest in the stores and that is exactly what I hate about shopping.

The sale period is, however, the perfect moment to get hold of items at attractive discounts. Friends, family and acquaintances often ask me: “Where on earth did you find this cool piece ?!” My answer is almost always: “on sale”.

But because discounts are pretty much everywhere around this time of year, it can sometimes be difficult to see the wood for the trees. Are you looking to buy a few nice items this year, but you don't know how and where to start? Then I might have some interesting tips for you:

1.

Shop both online and in physical stores. The first few days I like to shop online and then later on go to my favorite stores near me. Brands offer other items in their webshop than in their physical stores. Moreover, the stock can sometimes differ from that in the store. For example, I really wanted this short faux fur teddy jacket, but unfortunately it was already sold out in all the stores close to me. Fortunately I was able to find it online in my size!

2.

Make a list beforehand of things you would like to buy. That way you won’t be overwhelmed by the large selection and you can shop purposefully. I make notes on my phone containing items I absolutely want to find on sale. For example, glitter socks are at the top of my list this year.

3.

Not much time (hello busy life)? Then online shopping is a good idea. Just like me, add your favorite items to your shopping cart before or at the start of the sales period.
That way you can always keep an eye on the stock and you run less risk that that one dress or that cool blouse sells out unexpectedly. Too late? You can still go to one of the stores in your area.

4.

And finally: shop more than once this month. Do you have a specific item in mind that has limited stock and do you absolutely want to get your hands on it? Then don't wait to buy it because there is a good chance that it will sell out quickly.
Still doubting about whether or not you want to buy a certain item? Then sleep on it for a few nights. During the sales period, new items are also on sale and stores often give extra discounts on already discounted items. Win win!

Okay ladies, hopefully these tips will make your shopping experience even more pleasant.
Have fun!
