Shopping 101

Labor day is upon us, which clearly means one thing: no, you can still wear white. In fact, it's encouraged. What it means is...shopping season is upon us! This is probably the biggest shopping time of the year. Think about it...we have back to school, followed by Halloween, and then all of the holiday parties, holiday gifts, all ending with the perfect New Years' Eve attire.

With all of this money spending (or DIYing) approaching, a good way to not get overwhelmed is to make a sort of plan. I found this great little cheat sheet in Glamour a while back and I want to share it with all. We may have missed the mark for the first half of the year, but think of this as a way to get ahead for next year. With all of the fall/winter shopping coming up, hold off on a few things that will be much more budget-friendly for you if saved for future shopping.

August - Best time to buy sleepwear, belts and shoes. Check out Nasty Gal's Shoe Cult, which just launched today.

September - Jeans and Handbags.

October - Swimwear.

November & December - Get that last minute holiday shopping done!

January - Shorts, dress shirts, T-shirts and jewelry.

February - Suits and skirts. Although I did find the most adorable mini skirt at Free People yesterday for a slammin' 70% off! It happens.

March - Intimates, outerwear and coats.

April - Dress pants.

May - Sunnies.

June - Take a break...

July - Sweaters. You might actually throw it on with all of the AC madness everywhere you go. Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale is a great place to start!
