Big retailers are banking on big sales after the holidays. They want you to come in and spend your new gift cards or purchase the items that you didn't find under the tree. In order to make that purchase even more enticing, they are slashing prices left and right. Now is the time to buy that item you've been eyeing since thanksgiving. That is if you can find it. The biggest problem this time of year is that inventory is low. If you can find what you want, scoop it up and enjoy!

If you are looking for advice on where to focus your energy I would recommend looking at your favorite retailers and those that are usually just above your price range. If you want to add investment pieces to your wardrobe, now is a great time to buy. You can get high quality and top brands at a deep discount. Those items that usually cost more than your budget can afford are now on sale. Investment pieces also last from one season to the next. So you can maximize getting the most out of your purchase.

This is also a great time to add pieces from your favorite brands. It's easier to justify that purchase for the item that you love but might not have immediate need for when it's a fraction of the full price tag. For me one of my favorites is always Anthropologie. They always have fun chic pieces that are both classic and trendy. The Post Holiday Sale at Anthropologie is currently featuring 40% off Sale. For a little inspiration check out this sample of their fantastic pieces!
