How This Fashion Blogger Shops During Sale Time
It's that exciting month of the year when Aussie retailers are heading into end of financial year sales. While it doesn't take much for our editors to fill shopping carts online and as if we need another reason to shop, The UNDONE has just kicked off its mid-year sale and we're all onboard. The online boutique is one of our favourites. Reason being? It's full of curated local and international designers with stylish takes on the classics— think blazers, slip dresses, midi skirts, and denim. Goodbye money, but hello fresh wardrobe pieces.
We reached out to co-founder of The UNDONE, Sara Donaldson, to find out her best advice on shopping at this time of year. "Sales are the perfect time to snap up those wardrobe essential pieces at a fraction of the price," she says. "But avoid the trends and zone in on the classic, well-made items, with elevated detailing." As the chilly (and rainy) season kicks in, we'll definitely be purchasing quality basics to add to our wardrobe to wear under our big coats.

If you haven't added an off-the-shoulder top to your wardrobe already, this one is an adorable option.
Wide-leg trousers are both super comfortable and stylish to wear to the office.
A jazzed-up version of the classic black ballet flat.
A great LBD to layer with a skivvy and live in through winter.
We're always on the hunt for basic, quality T-shirts.

Who's your style icon?
Jenny Walton. She has a quirky, French, feminine style I adore. She mixes designer, vintage, high street really well and isn’t afraid of colour and print. My style board on Pinterest is full of street style images from her at fashion week events.
