New week, new name! Welcome to the Sample Sale. This week we'll be discussing what to do when it's officially Spring, but the stuff falling from the sky can best be described as "slush."
Wool Engineered Stripe City Coat (Land's End, $179 from $298) I know, I know: you want to be wearing your adorable spring coat. But at least this is a stylish and warm alternative. (Bargainer's Note: Land's End usually has a megasale on winter clothes in July. I got the solid brown version of this coat for $60.)
Lineae Blades Necklace (Annie Costello Brown, $296 from $370) For your disgusting morning commute, a visual representation of "Leave me the fuck alone."
Skunk Mittens (Uncommon Goods, $4.99 from $22) Much like the necklace, a warning to stay away.
Blanket Scarf (Theodora & Callum, $79 from $175) I don't think you're actually supposed to use it as a blanket? But I once had a desk in an unheated basement and this really would have come in handy.
When you finally make it home, you'll probably be cold, wet, hungry, and grumpy. Put on these things:
Cotton-lined wool knee-highs (Sock Dreams, $10 from $15)
Flannel Sleep Pant (JCrew, $29.99 from $49)
Farfar Cardigan (Anthropologie, $29.95 from $128) (With the caveat that some of the reviews said it smelled funny. ALWAYS read the reviews on clothing discounted this heavily. There are usually defects of varying severity, like "armholes kind of small" or "box was filled with bees.")
Then drink this:
Hot Chocolate (Williams Sonoma, $6.99 from $19.99)
In this:
Owl Mug (West Elm, $5.99/$8 from $10)
While eating these:
Love You Chocolate Collection by Knipschildt Chocolatiers (Dean & DeLuca, $13.75 from $55[!!]) That is 75% off chocolate, y'all. If that doesn't say "just trying to survive until spring," I don't know what does.
And finally, curl up in this:
Ultraplush Sherpa Fleece Throw (LL Bean, $34.99 from $49.50) Heck, buy a dozen, build yourself a cocoon, and come out a beautiful butterfly in six weeks.
