Memorial Day sales can be SO GREAT for rounding out your summer wardrobe. But they can also get overwhelming fast. So instead of sharing hundreds of random links, I’ve curated a list of pieces I actually think are worth a look this year.These are versatile, easy-to-wear summer staples mixed with fun pieces that help you pull together outfits quickly— from gauze pants to lightweight layers to everyday basics you’ll wear on repeat.
SIZING: I’m 5’6″ and usually S/M or 6 in clothes and 8.5 to 9 in shoes.
J.Crew Factory – 50% off everything
There are some really cute pieces fromJ.Crew Factoryon sale for Memorial Day, but there are a few that SUPER stick out to me. These are the ones that will beworkhorses in your wardrobe— for this summer and many summers to come!
- Gauze Button Up Top– Wearing in first outfit above.SO SOFTand great to wearby itself or as a lightweight summer layer. It breathes well and gives you a light layer that’s supercomfortableto wear all day but doesn’t suffocate you. I LOVE this, and it’s absolutely worth getting while on sale! I wear size S.
- Gauze Short Sleeve Top– You NEED a short sleeve gauze top in your wardrobe. It’s thebetter-than-a-t-shirt casual topthat you can throw on and instantly look good —while staying COOL because gauze isbreathable. Gauze is supersoftandcomfortable, too, (especially compared to linen, which can be scratchy).
- Linen Button Top– TOO CUTE! Another elevated casual top that makes youlook stylish without trying. The buttons add detail that makes your outfit super interesting while still being understated.
- Denim Shorts– These are reallycute!
- Denim Shorts #2– Also cute, in a medium to dark wash

Our Helix Mattress is 25% off!
This has nothing to do with style, but enough of you have been interested in mattresses, so here’s a friendly PSA that our mattress is 25% off right now!
We switched toa Helix mattressback in Nov/Dec and haven’t looked back. I used to wake up with aches every day, which I didn’t even realize because I was so used to it. 😳 We switched to Helix, and body aches in the morning are GONE! Like, WHAAATTT? It’s because we finally have a mattress fit for how we sleep.
I took thefree Helix sleep quizto fill in our sleep habits (like I sleep on my side, etc.) and it matched us with a mattress. (THISspecific mattress, if you’re wondering.) Now I wake up with NO ACHES. Freaking game changer!
If you’re looking for a new mattress, the 25% off sale is a GREAT time to do it. If you don’t like your mattress,Helix makes it sooo easy to return — someone comes and hauls it away for you. You don’t even have to box it back up!
Take the quizHEREand see what you get matched with, and take advantage of the 25% off!
Ruggable (Washable Rugs) – up to 20% off
Another non-clothes one, but some of you have been interested in rugs, and since they’re big purchases, sale time is the best time. These are great rugs with beautiful designs, and they’reall washable. We have a huge one, so truth be told, it doesn’t fit in our washing machine, haha. But Idofeel a bit better knowing that things should theoretically wash out of it more easily, even if we have to spot clean areas by hand.
That said, PMT team member Allison hasa cute small onein her kitchen. It’s a lot smaller, so that DOES fit in the washing machine. Good thing, too, because right when she got it, her dog peed on it. 😂
There are also someAWESOME doormat designsfor yourporch!
Anyway, these rugs are on sale, and there are beautiful designs to spruce up your home! See them allHERE.
