As a shopping editor, I love nothing more than discovering a great deal. Whether it’s the last pair of designer heels in my size or the perfect dress for an upcoming event, every purchase feels more worthwhile when you know you’re getting something great at a surprisingly good price.

Over the years and as my style has changed, I’ve refined my shopping strategy to favor quality basics and rarely spend money on an expensive piece without knowing exactly where (and how often) I’ll wear it. So I’m happy when brands that make excellent everyday items offer big discounts, usually at the end of the season.
