How to Get Spring's Hottest Trends Without Paying Full Price
This spring season is chock-full of some of the most wearable trends we've seen in a while, meaning naturally, you are tempted to buy each and every one of them. If you aren't made of money, that level of consumption simply isn't realistic, but buying all of the season's hottest trends without paying full price luckily is. Out of sheer personal curiosity, I went through the sale sections of some of my favorite retailers to see if I could find any of the spring trends on my list on sale. Guess what fam, I did. From '90s cropped tank tops to light leather layers, I was able to locate over 25 items that are so on-trend for spring 2020 that it hurts. If this isn't a major life hack, I don't know what is.
