I’ll admit it: I love fashion. Combining colors, mixing patterns, putting together basic staples with unique pieces to create entirely new outfits… It gives me a rush. The problem?

Over the years, I’ve developed a certain skill of finding quality clothes for really, ridiculously cheap prices. The secret lies in knowing when stores rotate sales and markdowns. The blog Cardigan Empire has put together a list of popular stores and their markdown schedules, so you can plan your shopping trips and get more for your money. Click the picture and get to saving!
