I once went to a Tibi sample sale in Soho and left with a pair of boots that were half white suede and half black leather. I wore them exactly zero times, as I realized that pristine suede would remain its original color for exactly 2.5 seconds in New York, before succumbing to the gritty city sidewalks. I learned my sample sale lesson then and there: don’t buy something that you will never wear, just because it’s marked down 80 percent.

This lesson is much harder in practice, which is why I’m taking the time to pass down this vital lesson to you, dear reader. You shouldn’t be allured by the super cheap prices at sample sales; if you’re not going to actually wear the overly voluminous top or the too-weird shoes, just don’t buy them! Instead, focus on pieces that could easily be integrated into your existing wardrobe, that follow along with your personal style and actually fit you. When in doubt, simply go for the basics, ones that are guaranteed to be a regular member of your day-to-day sartorial lineup.

Here, I’ve rounded up 10 of the best pieces to buy from Tibi’s online sample sale, that you won’t regret, feel remorse about, lose sleep over or anything along those lines. These are simply good pieces, from a simple black satin dress to some sensible, but chic leather sandals. And they all come with Tibi’s certified cool girl stamp of approval.

This online sample sale, which runs from March 20 to 23, is bound to sell out. So quickly stock up on these spring and summer wardrobe must-haves, marked up to 80 percent off, before they’re all gone.
