I Have a Capsule Wardrobe – These Are the Exact Pieces I’m Eyeing in the November Sales
Meshki, The Iconic
Click Frenzy, Singles Day, Black Friday and Cyber Monday – November is a month filled with sales, both in-store and online. But, after too many years of being swept up in the frenzy, I’ve finally decided to be smart about my purchases and only buy what I need.
Plus, now being more aware of the devastating impact fast fashion has on the environment, not to mention the burden buying it puts on my wallet, I’m striving for a capsule wardrobe, with only one or two good quality pieces for every staple outfit-building item, eg. one black blazer, one white tee, two pairs of black sandals, etc.
So, with that ethos in mind, here’s what I’m eyeing (or already own and highly recommend you buy, too) in the end of November sales. Note that while Black Friday is November 26, 2021 and Cyber Monday is November 29, 2021, many of the sales are set to start a few days before the main events and end a few days after. So be sure to keep checking the sites ahead of the day to see if their sales have landed.
Alias Mae
Solaris
A 100% leather upper and lining make these Alias Mae slides one durable pair, while their wrap design makes them unique. Choose from leathers in natural, bone or black colours. Normally $199.95, they’ll be 25% off in the sales.
Nude Lucy
Rai Denim Jean
A full-length, straight-cut in neutral bone colour make these Nude Lucy jeans ($99.95, down 30% in the sales) a pair you’ll wear for years to come, both on the weekend or to work.
Glassons
Mid-Rise Linen Blend Wide-Leg Pant
Every wardrobe needs a pair of wide-leg pants, and this pair by Glassons is an affordable $59.99, with 20% off during the sales. Pair with a tight-fitting top for a weekend look and with an oversized button-up and heels for the office.
New Balanace
530 - Unisex
Though New Balance sneakers are having a moment (or so my Instagram feed says), considering there will always be a need for sneakers, they won’t be going anywhere anytime soon. These $150 unisex 530 pair are 30% off.
Papinelle
Mia Cotton Boxer PJ
Slipping into a fancy pair of PJs always makes me feel like I’m pampering myself. This pair from Papinelle, normally $99.95, but 30% off in the sales, is made from cotton poplin and has white piping and boxy fit for a classic look.
Meshki
Zanna Ribbed Tank
Every wardrobe should have a fitted white tank – it’ll work as the foundation for many an outfit. This $55 ribbed top by Meshki, down 30% off in the sales, is surprisingly thick material so it isn’t see-through.
Zag Bijoux
Capri Necklace
Though subtle, a dainty necklace can really help to make an outfit look more put-together. This Capri necklace by Zag Bijoux, $75 but 20% off in the sales, features a flower-shape pendant in a Mother of Pearl encasing.
Oscar Wylee
Hunter Sunglasses
Sunglasses not only keep you from from squinting and hide tired eyes, but they can instantly make an outfit look more chic. This unisex pair by Oscar Wylee ($169) is vintage-inspired so will stand the test of time. To add polarising, it’s an additional $100, but if you buy two pairs, it’s only $50 extra on the second pair.
