How To Survive A Sale?

Picture taken at Galeries Lafayette, oh boy i miss Paris...

Sometimes i seriously wonder, what am i doing to myself with this 5 piece French wardrobe thing. Why not let go a little? Well, simply because there's more important things in the world than clothes. And shoes. And even more clothes.
With bi-annual sale popping up everywhere , i always have to mentally prepare myself to prevent a huge pile of bad bargains by the end of it. Shoes that i am sure i am never going to wear... Crazy colourful stuff (because it's almost free!!)... Another black top to add to the already ginormous family in my wardrobe...
So here's my top 8 tips/rules on how to survive a sale.

1. Simply avoid. This one is both the easiest and the hardest at the same time. The easiest because there's no eye contact with any tempting dress or that one bag.  On the other hand it's the hardest because the sale is freaking everywhere.

2. Set a budget. I you do want to take a nose dive into the deep deep hole of what is called a sale, set a budget that possibly fits your bank account.

3. Stay strict. Remember that there was a reason you didn't want something in the beginning. You didn't buy those shorts you saw at Zara before because they were 100% polyester? Please don't buy them now. No, not even for 20 euros.

4. Need vs Want. When a sale starts, my 'wants' usually become bigger than my needs. Try to keep them apart by creating a list of what you really need and stick to that list.

5. When in doubt, don't buy. This rule kind of always applies, but especially during sale season. When in doubt, don't buy just because you're afraid it will be gone by the end of the day. You'll somehow get over it, trust me.

6. Stick to basics. This is for when you're not very much into sales or simply too afraid to buy crazy stuff for the sake of buying them. Stick to a pre-written list of basics and you'll be just fine.

7. Non-seasonal only. Don't buy anything that it too much 'in season'. That super cool florae Givenchy print? You can't wear it next season (or never).

8. Go early. Believe me its hard for me to even type this since i am definitely not a morning person as they say 'go hard or go home'. So go as early as possible, preferably when other bargain hunters are still sleepy or even sleeping.

Ready now? Let's go!

The Top Crops

When it comes to crop tops, there are a million ways to slice it, cut it, tie it...as long as your navel's getting some fresh air it's sure to be literally cooler than most other upper-half clothing options. But a word of caution coming from someone who's murdered drawerfuls of once-favorite t-shirts: leave the scissor work to the professionals. You'll be kicking yourself when you realize that you have nothing to wear with all your mid-rise and lower jeans, and if history repeats itself—and it always does—2003's low riders will be back in full force in about 10 minutes. So hurry up and fill your carts while you can still get some use out of those elevated waistbands:

1. American Apparel V Strap Tank: Or really anything from American Apparel, they have a huge selection of crop top colors and styles. They're all pretty great, too—especially for those that like to go commando up top, because the AA cotton/spandex collection of crops are basically pullover bras. The V Strap tank is a newer design with a collarbone-grazing neckline, cute back, and thicker fabric that leaves a little more to the imagination than, say, a thin-ribbed tight white baby tee...but not much.

2. Need Supply Co. Scout Top: I'd argue that while all crop tops are casual, not all can be dressy. The Scout Top can go both ways—pair it with oversized khaki slacks and whatever Birkenstock incarnation you prefer, or with a tailored pencil skirt and heels.

3. Reformation Castelli Top: A hybrid wrap/crop is so painfully disco. And being disco is so painfully cool. Plus, you can wear full-support bra—straps and all.

4. Dolce Vita Deanna Crop Blouse: If you were a fan of the Valentina Dress, this embroidered/lacy/eyelet half of a top is for you. How pretty is that shade of blue?

5. Asos Crop Top in Wide Rib with Zip: The unexciting name really speaks to the workhorse nature of this piece, which, while it might go underappreciated at first glance, will surprise you with how often you find yourself wearing it. Top? Absolutely. Cardigan? Just unzip it. Is it too cold? Not if you're in this top, because your shoulders are covered. Is it too hot? Not unbearable, because the sleeves only go to your elbows...and it's a crop top. Also it's grey, which is the blue denim of knitwear—it goes with everything.

MONDAY MINUTE | Spring Layering

MM is officially back so here's a little Monday inspiration to start the week fresh! Unfortunately the weather will not be as hot as last week, but let’s look at it from the bright side.. Spring layering as is done very well in some of the images above is much more interesting fashion wise than when it’s super hot right? Ok, I like high summer better as well in terms of temperature, but looking at these pictures makes me want to wear a light coat over oversized trousers with sneakers, which is perfect for todays weather. Happy Monday!

CHANEL RESORT 2015 IN DUBAI

A glimpse into the Chanel Resort 2015 show for us mortals who weren’t invited to Dubai for the show. Always looking forward to the next Chanel show because you never know what you’re gonna get. From what I’ve seen so far, I’m loving the moon shaped head pieces and the pointed flats. The jerrycan bag also adds a nice touch too.
