Fashion

I'm in MA, I generally don't start spring 🛒 until March 1 which is still winter for us.  In the past when I bought something too early, I put it away and totally forgot about it and never got to wear it.  While I do enjoy looking at spring fashions, I'm not likely to buy anything until March.

Easter is early this year in March, so, maybe I will shop right before then if I need something!

We don't have four seasons here and spring is usually cool and wet.  Hence my nic - Hunting, Winter, Still Raining, Sun - My Eyes!

So no need for a change until about July.  I did get two tees last week for under hoodies if that counts.

If you like it, you may want to purchase before your size is gone.

I grabbed it, many thanks.

I bought a few clearance priced items which I can use for Spring and they arrived in two days.

Many years ago I started buying clothing for the upcoming season at the start of the season, and quit buying much if anything on clearance.  I found that by the next year I didn't care for much of it and it was a pretty much waste of money.

So I started buying what I wanted and loved pre-season, paying the price but saving in the long run because I bought what I loved, would wear and needed, so didn't "need" much when the season got rolling. Which was nice not having to shop.

For the majority of the time, there is no specific time I purchase any particular season of clothing. 

If I see a 'new' in season garment I really like, depending on the price, I will buy it immediately.

In most cases though, I will put it in my wishlist if it is QVC or Ebay and give myself time to think about purchasing. I weigh many factors...sale, S&H, and # still in stock/availability.

Sometimes it doesn't matter about the sale price or S&H. If it is a garment I REALLY want...a 'have to have', I will just order it.

Today is a great example...

I feel like I hit the jackpot today...absolutely over the moon! Back in early December when Dennis Basso had his TSV 30 yr anniversary coat, he had a fabulous new top I REALLY wanted. I had to put it in my wishlist under a different size than I needed because it sold out so fast. Sadly I missed the initial presentation, otherwise I would have ordered it immediately.

Today was my lucky day. This DB top came back in stock in my size/color. This is one of those pieces, even if it was at the high QVC price, I would have snagged it. The top is A628187 and I was FINALLY able to order the black/XS.

So my point is, for me, the last factor I consider is the particular season I purchase a garment.

@Susan Louise Lucky you...What a pretty top! It's not available in my size, otherwise, I would order the sand color. Enjoy!

Retail is always about 3 months ahead, and I would think most people would know that by now.

The temperature outside is irrelevant. 

You shop when the clothes (etc) are in the stores.   

The early bird gets the worm.

You snooze, you lose.

Yes, I know.  Usually, the new items trickle in.  I am experiencing a flood where I shop and what I looked at.
