It is the only time of year that you can walk around like this without people wondering if you are a complete, “lady on the street, but a freak in the bed.”
But, seriously, you need to go into battle strategically. No rookie mistakes, because all is fair in love and Victoria's Secret.
1. Wear a cross body purse. Big purses get in the way, hit things and people, and complicate your incredible balancing act of bras lining one arm, sweatshirts on the other, and fists full of panties.
2. Dig straight to the bottom.
No way in hell are any of the panties on top going to be in the right place. You do not need to fall in love with an XL pair that somehow found its way into the small box.
3. Go in before the sale starts and figure out your sizes in everything. You will never get a dressing room. End of story.
4. Do not wear black. The last thing you want is people constantly coming up to you and asking where stuff is; you have your own shopping to do.
5. Wait until there is only one week left to go. Unless there is something that you absolutely need in a specific size, color or style, wait until the end of the sale. The prices slowly decrease as the sale drags on; by the end, you get the best deals. Granted, you probably won’t get exactly what you dreamed of, but your bank account will thank you.
Happy Semi-Annual!
