One glimpse at my capsule wardrobe will tell you everything there is to know about my personal style. My assortment of sturdy jeans, simple sweaters, and plain black boots makes it quite evident that I’m a proponent of pared-down pieces. And after years of streamlining my collection, I’ve become somewhat of a minimalism expert.

So, when I tell you that I know exactly where to look for the best on-sale minimalist finds, you should believe me. Although Black Friday and Cyber Monday have officially passed, I haven't given up on my chance to score chic finds on sale. I’ve spent hours tracking down markdowns from brands like Aritzia, Gap, and Everlane so that you don’t have to. And the icing on the cake is that all of the items I discovered fall under $150—meaning you won’t have to max out your credit card to achieve a quiet luxury closet.

From neutral knit dresses to no-frills coats, you’ll find everything you could possibly need this winter. Given that Cyber Monday is behind us, there's no telling when these deals will end. Do yourself a favor and snag them now while you still can!
