We’ll always adore wearing dresses, but on the days when we’re craving a change (or just relaxing!), nothing beats the ease + casual chic of jeans and a cute top! We tend to favor timeless straight leg and oh-so-flattering demi-boot cuts, and we’re super excited because so many of our to-gos are on sale right now!

Until the end of the day tomorrow, you can score select Madewell denim styles for just $50, and enjoy up to 70% off lots of other sale styles! The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is a one-stop shop for all kinds of amazing fashion and beauty deals, and we’re especially loving this year’s variety of denim (check out this classic crop!). For a limited time at J.Crew, take an extra 50-60% off sale styles, including all of these great jeans (we’re also eyeing this patchwork puff sleeve top, this eyelet button up top and this striped poplin blouse!). We couldn’t chat about denim without mentioning Levi’s, and even better still, lots of our favorites from this most-loved source are on sale today! If you’re currently in the mood for an interiors refresh, don’t miss out on Serena & Lily’s Tent Sale savings, or up to 30% off sitewide + up to 70% clearance at Ballard Designs! Happy shopping!
