I’m not a great sale shopper, I’ll admit. I know some people who nail their purchases every time after hunting down some amazing worthwhile deals, and I’m always envious of their talent. But I’m also aware that sale pieces (especially on the high street) can often be the trend-led styles left over at the end of the season, and it takes some real digging to find the gems. Since I’m A) a classic anti-trend shopper anyway and B) trying to be more responsible and avoid impulse-buying, I’ve resigned myself to the fact that high-street sales aren’t always for me.
But every once in a while, a really good one comes along—usually in the middle of the season and usually only for a limited time—that includes not only pieces I already have on my wish list for the current season but also those evergreen classics that don't normally get discounted. This just so happens to be the case for & Other Stories’ current 40%-off Weekend Treat flash sale. Yep, you heard that right.
Jess wears the belted denim jumpsuit, which is now 42% off.
I stumbled across it while doing my weekly new-in-section check this morning and *very nearly* scrolled right past it. But the huge discount caught my eye, and then when I looked at the edit and saw how great it was (including a lot of classic autumn items I’d been thinking about buying anyway), I knew this was one that I needed to share with you.
There are plenty of versatile pieces such as midi dresses, pretty tops and handbags that will make every outfit you wear look more premium. But there are also some great classic jeans, light jackets (including that sellout shacket) and timeless knits to see you through so many seasons to come.
So which pieces are truly worth buying, even without the discount? Keep scrolling, and you’ll see the items I’ve added to my basket as well as more classic pieces I would definitely recommend as being the opposite of impulse buys. Add them to your cart, and the discount will be applied at checkout. And don't hang around if you truly love something. The offer's only available until midnight on August 28! Happy shopping.
