Bagging a bargain this sale season...

To be in with your best chance of picking up a bargain, it helps to know when the sales start though my personal tip would be to wait till the tail end of the sales when you're most likely to find the best buys.  The likelihood is other shoppers haven't spotted that item's potential so you're less likely to see lots of other people wearing it and, the price will have been knocked down to the bone.  Bonus!!


Oh, and p.s. please vote for me in the Vintage Life Covergirl Sweetheart Competition (see below)
