We all know how easy is to get carried away in the sales and with the biggest sale season of the year upon us we wanted to put together some of our own tried and tested tips for mindful sale shopping. Just because there are bargains to be had doesn’t mean we have to buy unnecessarily.
Shopping mindfully means taking care to only buy what you truly need while resisting those more impulsive buys which can be made all the more tempting by clever marketing!
So, where to start… our golden rule when it comes to buying sale goods is ‘if I wouldn’t buy it full price I’m not buying it in the sale.” That can take restraint when prices are slashed but becomes so much easier with planning ahead. The first thing we’d suggest is taking a good look at your wardrobe and making a list of any key pieces you feel are missing. For example, where are the gaps in my wardrobe and what specific pieces would have helped to pull it together? Most of us have that one pair of jeans or a dress we love on the hanger but never actually wear because they’re crying out for a style of boots we simply don’t own.
Alongside these, search for any of your most worn basic items that need replacing as we tend to wear these layering pieces most days. Mindful shopping isn’t just about practicality, it should bring you pleasure too in creating your working wardrobe of garments that work hard and that you love to wear.
We recommend signing up to newsletters to receive not only a cheeky joining discount code but and also to be the first to know when they do finally go into sale. Early bird access is a great help when you’re shopping mindfully.
We hope you find the pieces that you need in our big winter sale.
Wishing you all a joyful and peaceful 2025.
