Memorial Day Weekend Sales!

I don’t know what your plans entail for this weekend, but we’re not expecting great poolside weather in San Antonio.  So instead of barbecues and pool floaties, I think I’m going to dodge the forecasted thunderstorms and spend at least part of my weekend in the comfort of my own home, shopping the Memorial Day sales!  A lot of stores are having HUGE Memorial Day Weekend sales, and this year I’m making a plan, a wish list, and hitting those stores!

If you need some shopping ideas, here’s a list of the stores I’m planning on shopping at this weekend:

Nordstrom: They’re having their half-yearly sale for Women & Kids (up to 40% off).  I’m going to have to make some kind of list, because the amount of stuff they have on sale is ridiculous.  I “need” a pair of black sandals for summer, so that’s what my focus is going to be.

Neiman Marcus: Up to 40% off in Cusp/Contemporary, Dress Collections, and Sport Shop and 33% off in Men’s. This might be a good time to find a dress for my son’s bar mitzvah!

Gap: Another store that’s having 40% off pretty much everything in the store.  I personally love Gap clothing, but think it’s normally priced a bit high for what it is, so this is the perfect time to actually get some of the pieces I’ve had my eye on for awhile.

Joie: I know these items are not exactly budget-friendly, but this is the brand that made the blouse I wore on my live television debut (and is now my lucky shirt).  All their sale items are an additional 20% off this weekend, and my lucky shirt (the Marru) is on sale in either a bright canary yellow or summery mint green through May 26th.

Ann Taylor Loft: They’re not having a specific Memorial Day sale, but I did see that they’re having a huge sale on summer basics.  Items start at $8, with the most expensive piece coming in at $35.  I have a feeling I may go a little insane there.  I’ve been shopping at Loft for decades, starting when I got my first job as a teacher and needed an affordable, professional wardrobe.  Since then, I’ve moved away from professional and gone straight for cute, trendy, and comfortable.  They have a relatively new line called Lou & Grey that I really enjoy, and I bought quite a few pieces from to liven up my spring wardrobe. A lot of the pieces from the most recent collection are now 50% off!

Target: Starting May 25th, all women’s summer essentials are up to 40% off.  I have to admit, if I look through my closet, the majority of my clothes come from Target.  If I had to stock up on one thing, it would be their tank tops.

Old Navy: This store is another go-to place for me for basics and trendy pieces.  I just picked up a lightweight jacket that I know is going to be a staple for a long time.  The whole store is up to 50% off this weekend!

These are just the tip of the iceberg as far as sales go, but I’m trying to stay focused on a few clothing items and away from makeup this weekend!  If you know of any great sales that I need to check out, please let me know in the comments!

Let’s not forget that while the sales are great, and extra family time is always a bonus, that the real reason we have Monday off is to remember the over one million servicemen and women who gave their lives in service of our country.  Fly those flags!!
