Memorial Day sales get a lot of hype. 40 percent off everything sounds incredibly appealing, until those packages arrive and you find that nothing works together.
To avoid the problem of “buy now, regret later”, the best way is to start with what is modern and actually useful, making the selling price a secondary consideration. I’ve looked at options for combining some pieces that you should really pay attention to from every few brands.
Tommy Bahama: Earn a $50 Reward for every $175 you spend
Before I left for my trip, I stopped at Tommy Bahama to try and see what’s new for the warm weather. I also wanted to take a good look before the hype of Memorial Day sales starts whispering, “You need this,” to every browser tab.
I tried this timeSunset Harbor Embroidered 3/4 Sleeve Dressstore and delivered quickly home for my trip to Singapore. A soft navy, which I found perfect for hot weather because I can skip the slip 🙂

The Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale is on, and it’s one I always shop for!
Lands End’s Memorial Day Sale is 50% off sitewide.
If you want to buy, I would suggest you do it early. This is one of the best-selling items, and styles often sell out, especially swimwear.
ILands’ End Chino Shortit’s another retail favorite, long enough to wear with low-heeled sandals and a blazer, or paired with a tee.

Talbots: 40% Off Your Highest Price and 30% Off Your Remaining Price Merchandise
The Talbotsthey’ve just released their new summer collection, and it’s full of color – think holiday-ready, tropical prints made for warm weather wear. If you’ve been looking for statement pieces this season, this is a must-see.
- These 9-inch shorts are one of the simplest things that always work. They come in many lengths, depending on how much coverage you want.

I reordered3 of these Support Bras. They are thereamazing, comfortableand invisible under my white t-shirts. Then I remembered howthese panties are beautifulso I re-ordered a few new pairs.
One last thing before you click “add to cart” on everything: a good sale is only good money if you can wear it. If you buy it because it’s cheap, that’s not saving money, that’s spending it fast.
