The feeling of waking up lighter on payday can be likened to that first sip of celebratory bubbly - it's a refreshing moment that restores optimism.
And after the reality of debit orders slaps you in the face shortly after, it only makes sense that you soften the blow with a new item of clothing or two - no matter how small.
With malls currently as bountiful with sales as Kylie Jenner's bank account is with money, this payday allows for you to grab an extra item, especially considering the fact that in the world of fashion, next season's wardrobes are curated in the previous one.

So you had to hold off on buying those cowboy boots when you saw them slap-bang in the middle of month, but the good news is that you can now get them at a lower price. Plus, more 'It' trends to shop at these mid-season sales.
Time to head to the mall (or your computer) to try on and shop these essential items on sale:

Only the most talked about sale right now.
The Zara sale is the best place to do your winter shopping at the beginning of every year and it's even better in July - boots, coats, jeans and statement pieces are some of the most sought after items shoppers wish to purchase here.

H&M sale
If it's knitwear for every day of the week that you're looking for, H&M has got you.
And with up to 50% off the most Instagrammble items including corduroy pants, dresses and pleated skirts, you might just leave the store with more than an armful to create these street style looks.
But first, start with the basics:
Underwear bottoms (3), R179
A blouse you can wear in multiple ways, R329
Plus, comfortable denims for every occasion, R179
Woolworths quality sale
This one's a national favourite because it truly lives up to its name. With up to 50% off items and an extra 10% off for WRewards members, this sale is no joke - I bought my favourite pair of black pants here for R50 about three years ago. Yes, R50.
You might be just as lucky too this payday.
