Zella Effortless Square Neck Midi Dress

You’ll want to live in this soft, stretchy dress all summer. The square neck and low back are super flattering, and I love how the skirt swishes and swings. Plus, who doesn’t like a dress with pockets? You can easily dress this up with a blazer or dress it down with flip-flops, making it appropriate for work, shopping, beach days, and pretty much most occasions. 

Madewell The Mini Suede Shopper Tote

If you love the casual style of totes but prefer the compact size of crossbody bags, this irresistible mini tote is a perfect hybrid. Measuring 12 inches wide by 12 inches high, the bag has an interior slip pocket and is just roomy enough to hold essentials like a card wallet, phone, lip balm, and even a small snack. The crossbody strap allows you to sling the bag over your shoulder, or you can detach the strap and carry it by the handles instead. The tote comes in two gorgeous hues—wild cranberry and deep indigo.

Cece Print Scallop Shirt

This short-sleeve blouse bursts with delightful details without feeling too busy, from the sweet geometric print to the scalloped hem along the cuffs, collar, and even alongside the buttons. The sheer lightweight fabric is great for summer, and a second layer underneath ensures full coverage—no need to wear a camisole. The puff sleeves are sheer, though, which adds a touch of fun.

Best Dress Deals

I have lots of dresses but too few occasions to wear some of them, which is why I love this flutter-sleeve maxi dress—it’s pretty, but also casual enough to wear anywhere and anytime. The same goes for this flattering cotton shirtdress, which has a ruched bodice with a unique drawstring. Fans of flowy dresses will love this Donna Karan New York cold-shoulder dress and this floral wrap dress with flutter sleeves. If you’re looking for something more dressy, you’re sure to make a splash with the stunning colors on this Tahari ASL pleated dress.

Best Sweater and Top Deals

You can’t do better than a pointelle cardigan if you’re looking for a warm but breathable layer during summer. Or there’s this Zella half-zip tunic if you need an extra layer for your morning workout. I love the ruffled collar and V-neck design in this fun yet work-friendly top, and this snap-button plaid shirt has a fabulous drape. Last but not least, stock up on some long-sleeve Tencel crewnecks—because you can never have enough base layers.

Best Pant and Skirt Deals

I love the frayed hem and washed black color on these effortlessly cool bootcut jeans. If you’re looking for something a bit more office-friendly, try this smock-waisted tiered skirt or these stretchy black pants in a flattering bootcut silhouette. If you’re more about lounge and workout pants, these straight-leg knit pants are soft and comfy and these Spanx leggings boost you in all the right places.

Best Shoe and Bag Deals

Upgrade your work bag with this roomy Coach tote in a pebbled design—it’s on sale right now for 37 percent off. On the smaller end is this Baggallini crossbody bag, which is barely 10 inches wide but still holds a lot. If you need breathable footwear during summer but you’re not a sandal person, these Ilse Jacobsen Tulip sneakers will do the trick. Snag a pair of Toms platform wedges to dress up any outfit, or try these playful Adidas Gazelle sneakers for a burst of color.
