What: Tufi Duek black jersey banded tank strap empire waist dress
Why: The positive elements of a sale ore pretty obvious – the discounted clothes, the thrill of the hunt – but there can be a downside. Avoid looking like last season’s cast off’s by focusing on finding classic, as opposed to trendy pieces. I know it’s tempting, but now is not the time to experiment with leggings.
Instead, stick to a sure-fire look with something like a little black dress. Thanks to the immortal style of Audrey Hepburn, the LBD will always be a “do,†and as long as designers keep popping these puppies out season after season, chances are good that you’ll be able to find the perfect classic LBD, like this tank dress, that will last you more than one season without eating up your clothes budget for the entire season.
Price: $169.99 (orig. $199.99)
