What could be better than a long soak in a deliciously scented bath with an excellent book, Relaxing cocktail and an evocative soundtrack?
Nothing.
Except it’s the one week of the year where all the stores are wooing us with the promise of massive savings. My suggestion is to peruse the discounts from the comfort of home and let the online world do the work, leaving more time for that luxurious long bath.
Before I start with this year’s edit I want to remind us of our rules of engagement. These are most important because without a good sales strategy our buying can all go horribly wrong. We have all made expensive errors when it comes to discount buys – I try and stay within my rules and not only my wardrobe is reaping the benefits but also my wallet.
Be Strategic
* Be precise – Look at only what you know you want.
*Buy as if the item is full price, meaning you would be prepared to pay full odds so that any reductions are truly genuine.
*Save adventure for another day; sales are not the time to reinvent personal style.
*Take advantage of the prices and replace the classics.
*Buy only if you need or love an item more than the one at home.
The Rules Of Engagement
* If a new item hasn’t been worn within 3 days it is unlikely to be; no excitement over something new in the first three days then euphoria is unlikely to strike.
*If 7 days are up and you haven’t worn it then it must be returned.
*After 14 days and there have been no outings, the newest purchase could be considered a mistake; hopefully, it can be sent back.
I will be showing you my best edits throughout the week and in the past, these “rules” have really helped; I am sticking with them. xv
