We all know it can be tricky to get dressed in summer. When the heat gets serious, it's often hard to find something in the closet that both looks cute and keeps you comfy. So before the extreme temps settle in, why not be strategic and snap up some summer-wear you'll be happy to slip into? The good stuff goes fast, and the last thing you want is to be scrolling sites on July 1, when sizes are gone.
We have the perfect place to shop. One of our favorite easy-breezy retailers — Madewell — is having a sitewide sale for Memorial Day, and folks, it's epic. Think flowy tops, cotton sundresses and elevated basics (as in, the first ones you pull out of the laundry basket); these are the tees and shorts you're going to love all summer long.
And now for the numbers: Today for Memorial Day, every single thing at Madewell — yes, even already discounted merchandise — is an extra 25% off with the code LONGWEEKEND. Bags, shoes, date-night blouses.
Seriously, we need to stop chatting about it and get shopping. Ready, set...get it!
