As much as I love to splurge, let’s be honest. I’m a single, young 20 something with two full time jobs; Working during the day and shopping at night. Between my love of fashion and my knack for strategic spending, I have come to be an online/store sale snob. I think it’s smart to invest in things that I know I will wear for more than just a season, and go cheaper on things that are trendier. I also believe that before you press “complete order” you need to do a quick shop search on to make sure you are getting the best price. You can also browse Shoppok classifieds to find plenty of clothing for sale. Depending on what your favorite type of boot this season is, you may want to spurge on some for full price, and save on another style. I have been scouring the sales to purchase a new trendy boot this season. Here are my finds in each trendy category that won’t empty your wallet, but will last you long past the first snowfall.
