We love a good bargain.

We adore sale time just as much as the next person, but we all know you have to be tactical. Many of us get carried away when we see 50 percent off and end up buying pieces that we never actually wanted or needed in the first place. We have found that scoping things out online first is the best thing to do so you don't end up panic splurging. Zara has a great sale on at the moment and we just spotted a gorgeous dress going for €12.99. It's described as a "short V-neck dress featuring short puff sleeves and a belt in the same fabric with lined buckle." It's the perfect dress to have in your wardrobe as it's so versatile and can be worn in both the cold and warm weather. Pop it on with a pair of tights and a cardi over it to keep you cosy, however, when it comes into spring, simply throw on a pair of sandals and you're good to go. The dress was originally €17.95 so it currently has 25 percent off. There are a good few sizes left, and it if you want to brighten it up, the dress is available in pink and a lovely sand colour.
