The best way to tackle a sale is to create categories and look for a price arbitrage. Although, it is a treat to have so many GREAT options with deep discounts, it can be a little overwhelming. So, wouldn’t it be great if someone can narrow down the endless possibilities into a concise list of “must have” items? A strategized approach to finding the best investments with the highest performance? Ding, ding, ding! You’ve hit the jackpot! This is exactly what I’m doing here for you. I’m narrowing down the items by categories and subcategories that will boost your closet performance all year round.

Cardigans are a great way to add comfort while sprucing up an outfit. Look for neutrals and earth tones, as they can be paired with almost anything such as t-shirts, camisoles, tank tops, etc.

Lingerie and Sleepwear
Everyone should always start with a food foundation – in this case, that would be underwear 🙂 Make sure you have a great pair of: full coverage bra, a strapless bra, and a bralette. I also highly recommend the Topshop Supersoft sweatshirt and jogger pants. It honestly feels like you are wrapped up in a cloud.
