Shopping The Sales for Next Season

The sales around this time of year are a great way to get deals on in season clothing, but they are also a better way to start stocking up for next Spring and Summer. Merchants do not want last year's items hanging around when they start putting out the new Spring merchandise so you can find deep discounts on items that will still be fashionable this time around. I have been collecting items and putting them away in dribs and drabs. Here is what I have snagged so far.

Yesterday Macy's was having a great sale and I picked up this French Connection dress and these French Connection shorts for 80% off.




I found these two cotton dresses at Old Navy for less than $10.




I found a drapey top that is perfect for a night out on the town on clearance at Nordstrom Rack.



And I found this vintage dress at an estate sale this fall for $3. I think I will wear it to my sister in law's wedding shower in May.



The key is to know what you already have and what you might need so you don't waste your money. Take a look through last summer's items and make a list of vacations, events, etc that you have coming up and what you want to wear to them. You and your wallet will be excited to start the new season out with fashionable and thrifty finds ;)
