It makes me sad to think about the end of summer. This is clearly my favorite season. But as I’ve been telling you for a few weeks now, where retail is concerned… summer is almost over.
Why do I keep repeating myself? Well, it seems like the sort of intel that you might find useful. If you know that summer is slowing down for retail, you’ll be prepared for all the price slashing you’re seeing and you won’t be surprised when all you find in stores next month are Fall Back to School deals!
So now that you know to expect deep discounts in the near future, how should you proceed? Well, here is my tip… shop now for any remaining summer wardrobe needs you might have. While the sales will keep getting better you will run the risk of inventory running out if you wait. In particular, you run the risk of not finding what you want in your size. That’s usually my biggest hassle! There might be an amazing sale happening but I won’t get to take advantage because the items I desire are no longer available in my size. Over time, I’ve learned to keep an eye on items that I like so when they first go on sale, I can take advantage of a discount but still find items in my size.
This has also been a tip to my clients when shopping. Try on everything you like in a store, regardless of price. That way if you fall in love with something in the dressing room that is a little to steep for your pocket, you’ll know what size you need when the next sale comes along!
Seeing as the sales are in bloom, take a look at a few favorites below from the current fresh cuts at Anthropologie!
