pumped on coffee, adrenaline and the hope of finding the perfect cocktail dress on a budget, my two oldest girlfriends and i set out to scour the city's sales for the hottest deals.
i expected to report back with tales of tears, joy and hair pulling, but alas, it turns out that a lot of the sales haven't even started yet! bummer!
call it sisterhood, but i decided to put together a few helpful guidelines on dressing for sale season, just in case things get a little messy!
DO:
(1) wear flats! there will be a LOT of walking and standing in line for trial rooms.
(2) carry a small handbag. shopping bags tend to get heavy!
(3) wear a simple top. it'll go with almost everything you try on. (i screwed this one up!)
DON'T:
(1) wear tight jeans! they're not always easy to get on and off. opt for a skirt instead.
(2) wear too many layers.you don't want to forget your favourite scarf in a trial room!
(3) over accessorize! trinkets often fall/break/ get lost in the hustle of trying on clothes.
{ dress : hippies, blazer : vintage, stockings : le bijou, shoes : christmas gift/trios, bag : colaba, necklace : colaba, bangles : accessorize )
what useful tips help get you through sale season? share them with me in the comments section!

I love your blog too. Your beautiful and super stylish.
Imogen: Awwww! That's so sweet! Thankyou! You just made my day!
I love the slightly oversized blazer with this, lady! Very cute!
You're so right about the flats. The only problem I find with wearing a skirt or dress rather than jeans is that if I try on a top, sometimes I really want to see how it'll hang when paired with jeans.
I just can't win! :)

Love the dress and your bag with the right pop of color. We have sales all round the year in US under some pretext or the other.
I am all for flats.
Massom: Actually, I decided to wear stockings because (1) You don't have to slip them on or off. If you're trying a skirt or shorts, you can just slip them on over and see how they look with them.
(2) if you're trying shoes, you can see how your shoes fit with a pair of socks /stockings on cos sometimes when u buy em and bring em home, they're too tight with stockings.
(3) I wasn't looking for jeans yesterday so I figured i could get away with it! ;)
Sophie: Thankyou! :)
Geeta: Thanks so much!
