{closet-worthy} My Net-a-Porter End of Season Sale Picks and Tips

I know, I know, I just posted some of my favorite pieces from net-a-porter, BUT their End of Season sale started yesterday morning and you guys know I've been waiting for it for MONTHS!  I got the email when I woke up yesterday and was so excited about making my purchase that I forgot to eat breakfast!  You guys are going to think I'm insane but I bought these two pieces (click the image go to to the product pages.)
  


For those of you that don't know how it works, the sale starts with reductions up to 50%, then after a few weeks they reduce the prices even more and then after a few more they reduce one more time! So you can either wait and hope what you want doesn't sell out, or buy it and not wear it until you know whether or not the price is reduced. It does take a bit of self control to not wear the item right when you get it, but it can save you a lot of money in the end.

My strategy, (and what I suggest you guys do if you can afford to) was to buy 2 things I REALLY wanted now and then wait for further reductions to buy more stuff I want. Then, if the things I already bought are reduced and still available in my size to buy them again and return the originals.
Good thing I didn't wait to buy the Burberry London dress because I bought the.absolute.last.one!!!! It was a bit out of my budget, but I love it so much and I've wanted it for months. So I half hope it fits and I half don't because then I'll have to keep it!  I want the shoes to wear to my cousin's wedding in July, but I'm hoping they're more dark pink than red. If they are red red I'm going to return them because I already have red pumps.

And here are some other pieces I'm keeping an eye out for, as well as the pieces in this post! I put them in order from least expensive to most expensive for your convenience. (I only got through 20 pages of the clothes out of 82, so I may post some more pics on Facebook tomorrow rather than torturing you guys with another post...unless you want another full post!)  There are pieces in every price range so don't be afraid to check out the sale if you don't have a lot to spend! There are tons of pieces in the $18 to $100 range.
Have you bought anything in the sale?! Or will you?

  2. Such darling shoes. And I love the peacock swimsuit! Unfortunally I can't buy anything in this sale, as I spent my last money on a trip to my best friend. Sometimes it is hard to choose what to do with your savings.

  10. I find NaP is pretty spot on with colors. Love you buys though. I actually did get the Alice and Olivia skirt as well, couldn't justify only making the one purchase since shipping to NZ is so pricey! Love the Marc by MJ jelly flats... I'm considering getting them too haha

  11. I adore the stuff you bought and really like all of the stuff on your wish list too. Sadly, I will not be buying anything from the sale as I've been trying to cut back on my spending!
