Wear Now, Wear Later: Transitional Style Picks (Plus Labor Day Sales)
It’s hard to believe we’re already wrapping up August! With warm days still ahead (but fall on the horizon), I’m leaning into versatile wear-now-wear-later styles. And best of all, many are on sale! I’ve rounded up some of my favorite transitional picks, along with a quick guide to the best Labor Day sales happening this weekend.
Madewell
JEANS*| BOOTS | SHIRT JACKET | TEE | CUFF | BAG
*included in the sale, use code LONGWEEKEND
I always circle back to Madewell in the fall for easy and versatile casual styles. They currently have an extra 40% off sale items and 30% off select fall styles with code LONGWEEKEND. Some of my favorites are included in the sale…
Cotton Cardigan – $59.99 (+extra 40% off!)
A lightweight cardigan like this one is such a great transitional season piece! Drape over the shoulders for cool summer evenings, and layer under a jacket when fall weather arrives.
I’m wearing size Small.
Suede Saddle Bag – $132*
If I didn’t already have something similar, I’d be all over this elegant (& logo-less!) suede bag. It really punches above its weight appearance-wise.
*after discount, LONGWEEKEND
Cotton Striped Sweater Vest – $62*
Many of you clicked on this cute cotton sweater vest when I first shared it. Having found a light sweater vest to be one of my summer wardrobe heroes, I thought I’d share again now that it’s on sale. Wear now on its own, and over a tee and/or under a jacket when the weather cools.

I just bought the cotton striped sweater vest! I’ll be in San Francisco for my son’s birthday next month, and this will be perfect. I’d never have found it if I hadn’t seen it here on you, Susan. Thank you!
So glad to hear it! Have a wonderful time in San Francisco!
Another great posting Susan! I’m going to try the booties. Thank you to you and Brian for posting his lip colors for the different seasons! I love that he’s made 3 for each season and it’s so helpful that you two describe the colors! So helpful! I’m also going to try Ruti’s barrel jeans. Cheers!
Most of the times I will go into a shop for the sale and come out of the shop with something from the new collection. I am terrible at bargain buying.
