I’m a Fashion Editor on a Budget—These 21 Designer Sale Finds Have My Attention

I know I'm not the only one currently on a budget dealing with a strong taste for all things designer. As a fashion editor, that shops professionally, this gets tricky real quick with a constant stream of temptations crossing my screen daily. It's for that very reason that when I hear that one of my favorite retailers is having a sale, I make a beeline to the site to see what discounted designer goodies might pique my interest before they sell out. This is the case with go-tos like Saks Fifth Avenue, Farfetch, and Nordstrom this week.
To stay focused during my perusal, I used the price filters to keep just about everything in the $400 or less range—I did make an exception here or there if there happened to be a piece I've been keeping an eye on. In the end, I came up with a nice selection of elegant gems that can be worn for many seasons to come, including smart blazers, chic dresses, sleek shoes, cool jeans, and much more. Ahead, shop 21 designer sale finds that have all of my attention this season.
