Welcome to the Nothing To Wear Edit, where each week we break down the topic we spoke about on the podcast. Listen to the full episode here.
On this week's episode of Nothing To Wear I had not one but two guests in the studio.
I chatted with the Two Broke Chicks (AKA Sally and Alex) and forced them to share their very best insights and advice for shopping on a budget. Okay, maybe I didn't force them, seeing as that's exactly what they've based their whole careers around.
Sal and Al have amassed half a million followers by posting about sales, hacks and handy tips for bagging a bargain.
Their list of specific sales and discounts they painstakingly compile (which you can access for free) has become iconic.
If you don't follow them I suggest you listen to the episode…you can thank me later.
In the spirit of sharing, I've compiled a list of fashion buys I love that are on sale right now.
The best pieces to shop in the sales right now.
Dissh Jil Silver Tailored Trucker Jacket.

Currently $85 down from $170, it's a no-brainer to buy outwear when on sale at this time of year. I personally love wearing lighter colours in the cooler months, and this boxy oversize style is so easy to chuck on over everything.
St Mrlo Aries Jeans

Maybe I'm bias because it's my star sign, but at 30 per cent off (they're currently $77 down from $100), these Aries jeans are a brilliant buy. A wide-leg and flare hybrid and in a classic indigo wash, this cut and colour can easily be dressed up.
Adidas Originals Handball Spezial.

As the weather slowly cools down it's time to pull out our lifestyle trainers. A black and beige colourway will work with anyone's wardrobe, from wide-leg pants to midi and maxi skirts and dresses. Get them right now for $126 (usually $180).

Uniqlo U 100% SUPIMA Cotton Crew Neck T-shirt.
My favourite ever classic t-shirt is on sale right now in selected colours. Currently down to just 15 bucks, the cut and fabrication of this wardrobe staple truly feels like it should cost at least triple the price.

Retreat by Bambury Microplush Robe.
Another thing I love about entering the cooler seasons and less humidity is getting to wear a snuggly robe around the house. This lush one in a beautiful olive shade is currently 40 per cent off (down to $30 from $50).

Lily Loves European Linen Bias Cut Maxi Skirt.

To get more out of my summer maxi skirts I've been inspired by Copenhagen street style and I'm planning on pairing them with a knit and sneakers. This one is just $15 now, and also comes in beige and black.
Cotton On Chloe Faux Leather Trench Coat.

Leather outwear is a big trend again this coming winter. A real leather long trench would cost a pretty penny, but this faux one is on sale for $50 (when it was originally $130). Added bonus — vegan leather is better in rain and easier to clean.
Tony Bianco Charlie Slingbacks.

I've had my eye on these kitten heel points for a while now. The shade I want, Vanilla, is now 30 per cent off, so I'm glad I waited. The Black and Snakeskin is also discounted, and the tan shade, called Peru, is even further reduced.
Billini Misty Handle Bag.
The Iconic.
I'm sure you've spotted the biggest colour of the season, cherry red. It's most popular in accessories, so add an easy touch to your autumn outfits with this handle bag while it's 30 percent off (now $56 down from $80).
