A Sale Is the Perfect Excuse to Shop a Season Ahead—29 Fall Buys in My Cart
I am always shopping, so when it comes to sale season, I get very strategic. Now that we've reached the peak of summer, I'm starting to daydream about the fall trends that I know will be huge in just a few months. Shopping a season ahead sometimes feels counterintuitive if you're still planning your outfits for this weekend, but hear me out. Trying to buy into all of your favorite trends will hit you at a hefty price if you wait until September. If you're smart like me, you're going to start shopping for fall now.
I've scoured the best sales of the season to warm up my fall wardrobe, and one that can't be skipped over is Amazon Prime Day. While many people I know will be using this as an excuse to score a new television or household gadget, I have my eyes on the prize—fall fashion buys. After hours of scrolling, I loaded up my cart, and I have to share these 29 finds with you.
A great piece you can wear now but style with a cardigan once fall hits.
The sleeve detailing makes this item look designer.
Everyone will be wearing moto jackets this fall—mark my words.
The prep-school girl in me always finds her way out in September.
Polo dresses have been a game changer on days when I need to get dressed in a hurry. You can easily just put it on and walk out of the door.
Nights out are definitely going to be a thing this fall.
