I know we probably all did a lot of shopping over the last few weeks, but as soon as I received money at Christmas it started burning a hole in my pocket! So I took advantage of the new years sales. There are a lot of deals online, but I found the best stuff was marked down in-stores. Below are some of the best sales I shopped:
1. Victoria’s Secret Semi-Annual Sale: Wow, what a madhouse when I went in-stores to Victoria’s Secret. But it was totally worth it! They have tons of bras and sports bras included in the Semi-Annual Sale, and I picked up the cutest pajamas. For an extra fun purchase, I got an adorable plaid romper to sleep in (similar romper here).
2. Ulta Clearance: Ulta’s clearance aisle is a trove of goodies, and that’s especially true for after the holidays. The store had tons of hair and beauty markdowns. I picked up a new curling iron that I desperately needed and was 25% off the original price (here is the link but it seems to only be on sale in stores). There are also lots of fun bath items, soaps and nail polishes to stock up on for throughout the year. Who says you have to stop smelling like Christmas when the holiday ends?
3. Banana Republic: Stores are already starting to make way for spring styles even though it’ll be sweater weather for many more weeks. I shopped Banana Republic’s extra 50% off sale to get a new coat. My style seems to be sold out online, but this was a close second.
4. Crate & Barrel holiday clearance: I had a gift card to Crate & Barrel and popped in just to see what it could get me. I wanted everything! It’s the perfect time to shop the store and stock up for next year’s holiday decor. Since I don’t have much storage (one day…) I just bought one red vase that will be beautiful for other times than just the holidays.
So hope you don’t have a spending freeze this January. Even if you do, some of these sales might be worth bending the rules for!
