Alas, fall is in the air. I woke up at 3AM this morning in fetal position and proceeded to drag out from storage the heaviest blanket I could find whose warm embrace finally put me back to sleep. I am not ready for summer’s departure so you might see me busy chasing summer’s tail in the coming days.
Enough rambling. Current discounts pale in comparison with Labor Day sales but almost all retailers received new styles this week which made for really fun window-shopping.
Retailer: J. Crew
Discount: 25% off shoes, boots, and bags with code EXTRAS.
J. Crew’s September New Arrival has a bit too much camouflage (exhibits A, B, C, and D) and is in some aspects too utilitarian for my taste. The only thing that caught my eye is the Schoolboy Blazer in Beaded Tweed.

In contrast, Crewcuts’ fall collection is significantly more interesting. Aside from the Peter Pan Collar Dress, I also think the Dotted Peplum Jacket and Necklace Sweatshirt look promising in pictures.

Retailer: ASOS
Discount: Up to 70% off
Picks: I tried a few sale styles last month but none of them really appealed to me. There’s usually a reason for why certain styles get so heavily discounted. Take this blue top for example, it was just way too low cut for someone short (or those with a short torso).

Happy shopping!
