There is no better way to wrap up summer than with a fun and timeless piece. Plus, a few of my personal tips for shopping summer sales that are going on now!

The best time of the year is back! Ok, maybe the second best time of the year because my favorite time of the year is the Christmas! The second best is when all of my favorite stores have their end of summer sales! The sale that I like to focus (my wallet) on is Anthropologie’s end of summer sale. I got this skirt on sale and it filled with the cutest pattern ever! Can I be real for a second, Anthro is one of my favorite stores, but it is not always in the budget. These were all pieces that I liked in the beginning of the summer, yet since I held I got them for much less than original price. I wanted to share with you all some on my go-to tips for shopping end of summer sales!

I think it is important to keep a few things in mind when shopping “end of summer sales.” First, if you are going to buy pieces that are more geared toward summer fashion make sure it is a timeless look. For instance, this sunbather skirt features a fun pattern that will be cute for years to come. My girlfriend, Josie, even said that it is one of those pieces that you can keep for your own daughter. Isn’t that such a sweet thought, sharing timeless fashion with your child! Second, if it is not a summer staple that you could wear for years to come than make sure you are buying items that will carry you into fall. I would suggest staying away from multi-colored or neon items. Look for colors like, gold, gray, black, nude, greens, light pinks and blues. Last, it is going to get cooler in the later months so I recommend purchasing items that can be easily layered. I can’t wait to share the rest of the items I bought from the Anthro sell with you!

I love to wear high-wasted skirts with a knotted chambray. I own two of these exact chambrays because it is the best shirt ever! Also, these J. Crew gemma flats are my new black flats for fall! How will you be transitioning your wardrobe into fall?
