Statement sunglasses

There are shades you wear every day. And then there are those you’ll wear when feeling adventurous. They may not be worth buying at full price, but now, the price won’t hurt as much.

Bright clutch
We bet your wardrobe has the staple black, white and metallic purses, but you find yourself lusting after a neon or printed clutch every now and then. If the price has been holding you back, now’s the time to clutch at it.

Ballet flats
Yes, the market is flooded with affordable closed shoes, but you’d have to be really lucky to find a durable pair you like. On sale, a sturdy pair in leather is a buy that will withstand the test of time.

Formal blazer
This is a good time to invest in a quality blazer. It’s not winter, so these will sport the lowest prices now. A great trick to go from formal to casual is to look for funky prints on the under-side of the sleeves. Roll ’em up and you’re good to party.

Printed skirt
You’ll wear neutral, solid shades more, but get a printed one if you think it’ll go with two tops you already own.
