Saying goodbye to Summer!

Due to a 'not very impressive' Summer season this year, many Summer collections went into Sale/Clearance pretty early - which for those of us lucky enough to have had a hot holiday abroad has been great news for holiday shopping, meaning we can get a whole new suitcase full of bikinis, sandals and dresses for a lot less! However, those that haven't, [and those of us who are still suffering holiday blues and wanting to show off our freshly bronzed pins], it's all a bit depressing having to say goodbye to Summer just as it was getting started!
I, for one, am instantly excited when I see SALE or CLEARANCE displayed around my favourite stores - but who does it best? And the imaginatively? Let's take a look at some of the ones from past and present that caught my eye...

These are just a few I found online, as I haven't been able to get out and about to take any myself. Would love it if you could share some of your favourites, or ones that you have worked on! What do you think is the best way to promote a Sale - Sell the Sale or Sell the Product?

Thanks for reading!
