My favorite sale of the year started yesterday! The NET-A-PORTER End of Season Sale! Some of my favorite pieces have been purchased in this sale each year, from my adorable mini pink Marc by Marc Jacobs bag (which was part of my first ever order from them) to printed Burberry Prorsum loafers.
Here is my system, which I've clued you guys in on a few times before, but it bears repeating. On the first day of the sale I go through every item and add anything I like to my cart, not matter what the price. After everything I like is in my cart I let it sit there, slowly items sell out and I go through and get rid of things I definitely won't wear. I also try to wait until the final reductions, which come in a few weeks. This is risky, but also good for my wallet.
If an item I have been lusting over for a long time shows up in the sale I may purchase it in the first round, but that is rare. Last year I bought my Burberry loafers at the beginning, and good thing too, because they sold out. So there is always an exception to the rule!
I am currently debating the Miu Miu slingbacks that I've wanted for quite some time since they are selling out quickly. At the time I am writing this post (mid-day Monday) I haven't broken down, but who knows what will happen by the morning! I also want the cardigan and jeans featured in that post but will resist them for now!

Those of you that read my blog regularly will know I have a slight obsession with designer jeans. I have almost 20 pairs and always want more, not a lot considering some people have hundreds, but still a large number. Right now, True Religion is having a 25% off sale on many of their womens jeans. They have everything from ripped jeans, bootcut jeans and skinny jeans for women. I'm most partial to skinny jeans but I've created a few looks using different pairs available on their site.
Look #1: First up is a fun outfit with the 'Casey Vintage Coated Dark No Flap Womens Jean' that features an ombre effect. Ombre tops, skirts and dresses have been a trend for the past few seasons so why not take it to the next level and apply it to your jeans. These are definitely a statement piece, so I've styled them to be the centerpiece of the outfit.
Look #2: Coated jeans are another style that I see sticking around for quite a while. They come in all different colors and styles, but I prefer skinny jeans, surprise, surprise. This style, the 'Halle Super Skinny Womens Jean' has a great worn-in feeling and is in the maroon hue that everyone has been into lately (especially me, but I've loved burgundy for years.) I paired this with a printed tank top and a leather jacket, but you could also top it off with a cute cardigan instead if double leather frightens you. When wearing jeans like this I think it's important to embrace the uniqueness and just go for it! Pretend they're just plain denim jeans and go crazy!
Look #3: I promised I wouldn't just feature skinny jeans, so here we have a nice flare, my second favorite style! The 'Charlie Flare Womens Jean' is a really fun 70s style jean in a super light wash. With this style of jean it's really fun to go all out with 70s style, bold graphics or aztec designs to give off that nature-loving vibe. For this look I paired it with a pretty epic knitted coat. Since this is a long coat and the pants are wide legged, you want to be careful about proportions so I would style it with super tall heels to get the length back into your legs. A pointed toe will also help in this instance, although you will only be able to see a peek of it through the jeans. You'll also notice I broke a "rule" and paired navy with brown - but I say anything goes!
