Cool Sales For Hot Days
I get the feeling this is going to be a very warm summer. If your wardrobe needs a few “barely there” pieces for the hottest days and nights, I’ve scoped out some things from the multitude of sale offerings.
Above, this easy cotton dress could also double as a pool/beach coverup. (I think it has pockets too!) Many more styles on sale at Madewell, too, including some fun tops.
Ann Taylor is offering 40% off everything through 5pm today with code ALLOUT (now SUMMER). This pretty linen top nods to the statement sleeve trend, with a cooler elbow length.
Lots of good sale stuff at Nordstrom too. It’s a good time to shop for summer, as you can earn $20 Nordstrom Notes to use during the Anniversary Sale next month. This easy tunic has more polish than a tee but without a heavy layer.
What to wear to that July 4th BBQ? How about these red and white striped espadrilles?
I love the longer length and handkerchief hem on this easy hemp and organic cotton dress. Offered in Regular and Petite lengths, and also in red. I think it would also look good layered over leggings or slim pants when the weather gets cooler.
And if you’re going to be out in the sun, a wide-brimmed hat is always a good idea.
Bon weekend!

Thanks! I’ve been wanting espadrilles just like that, so I just ordered them.
Those red striped espadrilles are adorable.
The Ann Taylor Blouse is Not available on a discount code for Canadian online sales
Hi Gael, looks like they’ve changed the code to SUMMER but does seem to be valid in US only.
Yes, that code is not available to Canadians either. They have no INtl codes availalble at this time.
I think Madewell had great things right now as well. Love that handkerchief hem dress and those striped espadrilles. I have a feeling you are right about the heat Susan! Happy Weekend!
As I believe in the right to bare arms, I love the sleeveless Foxcroft tunic–but if you have to wear a baselayer, it kind of defeats the purpose. I prefer the linen jersey T-shirts by Eileen Fisher that I can still find at Neiman Marcus. And only Neiman Marcus. 🙁 The fabric breathes and doesn’t require a camisole.
Update on the espadrilles: because I wear an 8.5, I ordered a 9 per the instructions on the website to go up to the next whole size (they only come in whole sizes). The 9 was still too small. My heel was right at the back edge, and my toes were bumping up against the front edge. Sadly, 9 is the largest size. Back they go. Dommage!
Thanks for the update LeeAnn. Sorry they didn’t work out for you!
