Look of the Week (On Sale!)
Here’s a late summer look for those of you who look best in a Summer seasonal color palette (Cool & Soft). You could easily transition this look into fall, just add a denim or other lightweight jacket.
So Madewell’s having a pretty nifty sale…get 20% off your purchase when you buy a full-price pair of jeans. If you’ve had your eye on anything at Madewell, it’s a good time to take another look. (I’m partial to these darted barrel-leg jeans, which have a subtle barrel shape.)
The best of the rest of the sales…
Lands’ End – 40% off tops & up to 40% off sitewide with code LAKEVIEW
Black Luxury Accessories – Anniversary Sale, 20% off (including my favorite silk-cashmere scarves!)

Banana Republic – 30% off your purchase for cardholders
Eileen Fisher – end of season sale (lots of good linen pieces included!)

I appreciate those summer colors. The rayon top looks delicate and is listed as dry clean. Would you hand wash?
Hi Dianne, thanks! The top is viscose, so I’d hand wash in cold water (or wash in the delicate cycle in a lingerie bag) and line dry.
I’m not a summer, but I bought that top as soon I saw it here. Ordered from Nordstroms because of their generous return policy and free ship. It cracks me up that the color of the top is called “Cherry Red.”
Hi Susan,
Thanks to your recommendation I have a leopard print scarf from Black which I love! So great for travel! I also had my eye on the red/blue/orange Paisley design you showed awhile back from Black’s Liberty print archive collection, but that appears to be sold out. Wondering if you have any alternative to suggest for Springs? Looking for something to pair with jeans and J. Crew Belvedere red cashmere. 🙂
Thanks,
Kathy
Hi Kathy, I’m so glad you love the leopard print scarf! For Springs, I’d recommend the Liberty Print Pineapple (on pre-order, ships end of August) https://bit.ly/4oTF4dV . That one should work well with your Belvedere Red.
Excellent. Thank you so much!
It seems so hard to shop for a “spring” right now. Most of the colors are gone even for the sales.
I can’t wait to see what you choose for fall.
Enjoying your blog.
Thanks so much, Nancy! I’m keeping an eye on the incoming collections, and taking notes on colors for each season.
Which of the Black scarves would work for a winter? And are they too large for someone petite and 5’1″?
Thanks.
Hi Vicki, I’m also 5’1″ and I find they work well because they’re not bulky. Both the Gray and Navy leopard prints are good, and the Kaleidescope Quartet https://bit.ly/4oEeuFj, Liberty Peacock Print https://bit.ly/4fMPU16, the bright pink leopard print https://bit.ly/3V00Gay would all be good choices.
Love the colors on this outfit.
Thanks!
