There are only a few more rays of sunshine left until the unofficial end of Summer uses her claw-like fingers to throw us back into reality. Lucky for us, there are still a few days to catch up on those things we’ve been meaning to do and buy all Summer.
As a personal rule, I like to try and fill in the items that I’ll need for next summer (or vacation) right now, while the prices are low and the discounts are high. The best part is that I am really in touch with what’s missing from and needed for my wardrobe. By the time Summer ’16 rolls around I will be secure in knowing that I have everything I need and won’t feel guilty for indulging in a few new trends and impulse purchases.
Below is a list of some of the most noteworthy pre-labor day sales. Keep checking back as more promotions are added to the list:
Alice & Olivia
Each season Stacey Bendet makes this collection stronger and more irresistible. Right now, there are some great items on the site that are reduced up to 70% off. This watercolor halter maxi dress is now $280 from $700 and this sunflower print shorts and blouse are sure to make your mood brighter even during winter.
