16 Elegant Summer Pieces I Found on Sale at Shopbop, Saks, and Bloomingdale's

I consider Memorial Day to be the start of summer—never mind that the "official" season doesn't begin for another three weeks. While I certainly have plenty of non-shopping-related summer traditions to look forward to, I always keep an eye out for epic sales to jump-start my new-season wardrobe. This year, retailers have not disappointed.
My biggest pet peeve is when sales feature scant selections from past seasons in limited sizes. Who really wants the leftovers that never sold? Right now, a trio of my favorite retailers are discounting the *good* stuff: Shopbop (an extra 25% off with code EXTRA25), Saks (up to 50% off), and Bloomingdale's (up to 40 % off and 50% off swim). I've rounded up my favorite sale picks below, including a Jacquemus bag, a Staud dress, Citizens of Humanity jeans, and more.

She graduated magna cum laude from USC and lives in Los Angeles. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2015, where she is now the Associate Director of Fashion News. From the Oscars to the Met Gala, she leads the site's entire red carpet coverage strategy. She specializes in celebrity and fashion news but also enjoys writing travel features and runway reports.
