Your Summer Style Starts Here: Top Picks from the Memorial Day Sales
The Memorial Day sales are in full swing, and if you’ve had your eye on anything to update your summer wardrobe, it’s a good time to circle back. I’ve rounded up a few of your favorites & mine that are now marked down, so do take a look…
Madewell
Madewell currently has 25% select full-price styles, plus an extra 40% off sale items with code LONGWEEKEND. I have these pants in brown, and love how they fit and feel. (They worked well in my most recent travel wardrobe: comfortable and not prone to creasing.) And I’m really tempted to try that top…
Talbot’s
I’m loving the crispness of cotton shirts this season! Talbot’s is currently offering 40% off one item, 30% off sitewide, with an additional 50% off sale items! This stripe top is $34.99 (after discount)! This warm pink color is good for Springs. I like this blue/orchid version for you cool season ladies (Winters and Summers).
Also check out this pretty blue woodblock print shirt, and this one in a longer style.
Nordstrom

Nordstrom just launched their Half-Yearly sale, and I’m seeing a lot of great warm-weather options. Above, a polished casual classic look for summer events. There’s a good selection of Eileen Fisher pieces included. If you’re a fan of linen, it’s a cornucopia of options! (I’m eyeing this shirt with lace detail at cuffs and hem.)

I love that white and pink striped Talbot shirt. I would buy it immediately if I lived in the USA. Of course, not in petite haha.

Thanks Susan! I wish those Madewell pants were still available to try–but I looked at the ‘lightweight’ denim that Rag and Bone offer. I’m thinking of trying the Logan style in a light wash denim. Have you tried those before? Still trying to get *just the right pieces* for my trip in July!
What style pants for summer do you think will be your favorite?
I love linen pants in summer. I’ll probably be wearing my wide-legs and lantern pants from Eileen Fisher, and these from Quince.
Nice to see the Madewell top in a “soft white” that is not too beige or ivory. That just ‘off white’ or eggshell color is lovely.
