Editor's Letter: Miranda Purves' 5 Pieces to Buy Now

Magazine editors never write about seasonal sales. I haven't received the memo as to why, but for me they're an essential and delightful aspect of the fashion cycle, because they involve both luck and strategy. This time of year we've seen the fall runways, and spring will be marked down shortly. Fun! Time to cross reference. It's easier to make fast, intelligent decisions when you're armed with the knowledge of what's going to be relevant for months. You can do your own math, but in my vector of nowness/desire/longevity my money's (literally) on a plaid top, a floral frock, super slouchy trousers, a midi skirt and lug soles to go with all.
