Generally speaking, going for the steal is usually more appealing than the splurge. When we feel like rewarding ourselves for finally making it to Wednesday — even barely — it makes more sense (financially speaking) to treat yourself to something small than to head straight to Barneys. But there will always be times where you want and deserve really nice things, and there’s no better time to jump on them than during peak sale season.
Since having to deal with the overwhelming number of pages (or aisles) of discounted merchandise is the only real downfall of shopping sales, we’ve done the hard work for you, zeroing in on some of the best designer deals you can shop right now. Here, the steal and the splurge overlap. With pieces discounted up to 80% off, you’re making an investment in something you’ll likely keep forever at a fraction of the original price. A win-win, no?
