I Call Myself the Sale Sniper—These Timeless Picks Are Beyond-Good Deals
I have a little nickname among my friends and family: the sale sniper. I track my favorite products of the season from when they first debut on the retail scene until the inevitable sale moment. My sale-sniper senses really start to quiver when a sale on sale or deeper discount happens because, ladies and gentlemen, then you know it’s go time. It’s the last moment before an item will disappear forever, so when I heard our own Who What Wear Collection was going to have an MLK Jr. Day sale on top of our already generously discounted items, I had to let you all know. Now through Monday, January 17, take an extra 10% with the code WEEKEND10. As the line’s creative director, I know these items really intimately, so keep scrolling to check out why I think these picks are beyond-good deals.
The bra-and-cardigan look, as popularized by Katie Holmes in Khaite, is pretty iconic at this point. Though, the downside is you have to buy two pieces to get the outfit, so I think it's super smart to wait until they're on sale. Sale on sale? Even better.
I'm going to ask that you click in to this sweet little bustier top because you simply cannot see the gorgeous herringbone ribbing unless you zoom in. I also think a knit bustier is inherently perfect, equal parts soft and sexy. Low-key yet alluring.
Hello, lovely blazer. Sometimes it's the simplest items in your closet that you end up reaching for the most. A khaki blazer will never go out of style. Like ever.
Imagine a classic slip dress. Then add darling scrunch straps. Simplicity at its best plus a special detail equals outfit perfection.
Floral dresses can sometimes feel a bit too sweet, but this one has a lovely chocolate hue and a scrunch detail down the front to keep the overall effect cool and laid-back.
This sweater is final sale, but at $37. What do you have to lose? It's perfectly classic, and the statement cuff is just the cherry on top.
Shop the matching West Slip Skirt ($98).
Draping and knots are incredibly sophisticated details rendered in slate blue silk.
A party LBD deserves some real estate in your closet. Why not get yours on sale, when you know you'll wear it for years to come? The subtle moiré print is divine.
This dress is, in a word, versatile. Ready for day or night, it's just a matter of accessorizing.
There are few things more flattering than a deep scoop neck.
A confection of silky black fabric. Elegant doesn't even begin to describe it.
This top has delicate details like the tiny bows that render it utterly charming.
You know that charming cream knit bustier? It's equally lovely in dove gray.
Ribbed pants are your travel secret for looking chic while feeling utterly comfortable.
A dress in cupro silk for under $100? That's a very good deal. Who knew eco-conscious fabric could be this chic?
Shop the matching Edie Mini Skirt ($79).
It's like Cher Horowitz took a camping trip and looked outdoorsy-meets-chic while doing it.
This top is the perfect canvas for your best statment pendant necklace.
I'll always have a soft spot for rosebud pink. That affordable price isn't a typo either!
This vintage swirl print will make you do a double take.
See, eyelet can be cool too. This top is proof.
We bet you don't have a celery dress in your closet yet. Why not take a risk when the cost investment is limited?
Plissé is a wonder fabric that always looks expensive.
I'd go for the matching pants while you're at it.
We call this color mahogany, and it's pure luxury.
I am 100% getting this skirt in the sale. Don't beat me to it!
Shop the matching Nicole Midi Skirt With Removable Belt ($61).
Whenever you're stumped on what to wear, a matching set is the answer.
This easy dress shows off your figure and is easy enough to wear with everything. Three words: add to cart!
Wear this printed slip dress with tall boots and your best coat. An instant outfit!
The ruching takes this black top to the next level.
I've seen so many body types wear these pants, and they look bomb on everyone.
I'm thoroughly obsessed with the cutout strap detail on this top.
The perfect cream button-down does not exist. Oh wait!
I love this dress equally as much without the belt worn loose. It's like a two-for-one.
Because your fancy LBD needs a casual, daytime counterpart.
The unexpected colors on this striped sweater pack a punch of major personality.
Sleek and modern. What's not to love?
