Buy Now, Wear Now

We use this term a lot in retail. When speaking with vendors, I talk about how most of my customers are buy now, wear now. For example, we have so many beautiful things in right now for spring and summer, but there aren't many people ready for that yet. It's an odd time of year for retail. Customers are sick of the cold and don't want to buy any more sweaters, but they aren't quite ready for spring yet either.

Well, we still have some amazing pieces left in our Winter Clearance/Warehouse Sale that you can buy now, wear now. We all may have enough sweaters and cold weather clothes, but with some deals still to be found, why not get one or two quality pieces at a great price. Before I owned Kiskadee, I would do this. Come February, I would find a few good deals on nice pieces that I could wear now or perhaps save for next winter to spruce up my wardrobe. Here are some of my favorites that are surprisingly still here!

These two sweaters from 525 America and Lilla P are truly versatile. They are perfect for buy now, wear now, but they are lightweight enough to transition well into the cooler days of spring or fall. We have more in the store!

525 America, was $118, now $40; Lilla P, was $168, now $50

Outerwear and warm shoes are always necessary! I personally bought these boots from Johnston and Murphy for myself, and not only are they warm, but they are so comfortable. This coat from Lilla P is another great piece for now. I love the one button on it, making it wearable with bulky sweaters, etc.

Lilla P, was $285, now 114; Johnston and Murphy, was $198, now $138

 Of course, you can't forget about hats, scarves, and gloves. Everything we have is so cozy and warm. Bonus? We still have a few pieces that have fun colors and pearls, etc. We just marked these all down 40 percent. Use code WINTER40 for all hats, gloves, and scarves online. They are marked down in store too.
