Summer Sale Standouts

Is it just me, or does it seem like there are always sales going on. Half yearly sale, back to school sale, anniversary sale, _______ sale.

Look, I am not complaining, I love a good sale. But to me, the extension of a sale to every holiday makes it confusing to know when to actually shop.

But, I must tell you - right now is a pretty good time to shop.

Virtually every major retailer is having a great sale - making way for the new fall pieces. The great thing about this time of year is that while the retailers are pushing out all of their summer pieces, you can pick up great summer staples and store them in your closet for next spring and summer. Could you also shop for fall staples while picking up great summer steals - absolutely!

So, over the next week, I cover the best summer:

• Flats
• Sandals (low to no heel)
• Nude Sandals
• Black Sandals
• Heels
• "Where the hell are you going to wear those?" Heels

But, a couple of tips for those of you shopping out there:

1 - Get into a summer state of mind. No thinking about the leaves turning, hot apple cider. You must remember that these are going to be pieces that you may be able to get a couple of more wears this summer, but are predominately for next spring and summer.

2 - Act fast. If you see a pair you love, don't wait to buy. These are the last items from summer, so it's likely the stores aren't stock piling extra sizes.

3 - Don't forget your closet needs. In the whirlwind of sales, it can be easy to get caught up in the thrill of the sale, and wind up with shoes that you never wear. Always keep in mind what you wear, what you need and what kind of budget you are working with.

See you over the next week!
