DO shop quickly as items sell out fast. The Patagonia fleece that I wanted was already sold out before I could even shop the sale. Wah!

DON'T waste money on cheap items you can find elsewhere. I'm looking at you,

! I've made the mistake of buying inexpensive fleece in past years and they don't hold up in the wash and end up looking like a tired teddy bear.

DO buy items that fit your lifestyle. If you're doing Zoom meetings, I recommend this

to add instant polish to work-from-home looks.

DON'T think you have to shop. It's fun and exciting but only a sale. There will be more deals!

I have to rethink my strategy with many of my wishlist items already sold out. I'll report back with what I buy. In the meantime, happy shopping! You can look back at all my #NSALE coverage

for more inspiration.
