We black-belt shoppers know our stuff, which is to say we know our sales. So while style may be eternally preoccupying, there are certain times of the year it pays to follow the vicissitudes of the fashion cycle. Particularly in the weeks following the holidays, pricier, more seasonal items—boots, let's say, or jewelry—tend to get marked down to make way for fresh spring things. This is when we make our modish move.
