$70 Birkenstocks, 63% Off at J.Crew, and a $7 Sweatshirt Are Today’s Best Deals
This morning I realized that it’s officially the first day of spring. Oh no, I thought, remembering that my wardrobe still needs some work. While I’ve managed to secure most of my spring staples, it feels like there are still a few missing pieces—fortunately, there are five sales happening right now that are going to help me fill in those gaps.
For apparel, I’m headed straight to J.Crew’s double-discount sale and Nordstrom’s spring event, where everything from comfy trousers to lightweight knits are up to 60 percent off. Kate Spade’s sale-on-sale makes grabbing a new bag a no-brainer, and Rue La La has secretly marked down rarely-on-sale Birkenstock sandals. As for everything else, I’m relying on Amazon, which dropped major deals on everything from classic sneakers to Levi’s jeans ahead of its Big Spring Sale.
5 Best Weekend Sales
Shop my top picks from each sale, below.
Nordstrom Spring Sale
BP Oversize V-Neck Sweatshirt
Nordstrom
Nordstrom’s Spring Sale includes more than 55,000 markdowns (that’s not a typo), but I’m shopping these six styles before it ends on Monday. I love a lightweight sweatshirt for spring, so I’m grabbing this elevated V-neck style while it’s just $27. Another comfy-chic must-grab are Beyond Yoga’s Status Trousers, which shoppers have deemed the “perfect work pants” since they look professional but feel like sweatpants. My other top picks include these 60-percent off ballet flats, these trendy-yet-practical loafers, and this breezy mini dress.

Kate Spade Sale-on-Sale
Knott Large Shoulder Bag
Kate Spade
Right now, Kate Spade’s entire sale section is an extra 30 percent off. I’m really loving this large shoulder bag, which has a knotted strap, slouchy silhouette, and is available in the perfect spring blue. I’m also eyeing the small yellow Grace bag, this now-$41 polka dot wristlet, and this tote with a baby pink trim, all of which are great seasonal styles. But there are plenty of timeless bags on sale, too, including the Katy Satchel and Grace Convertible Shoulder Bag.

J.Crew Spring Sale-on-Sale
Ribbed Cotton Button-Collar Sweater
J. Crew
J.Crew has marked down its on-sale spring styles by an additional 40 percent with the code EXTRA, and I’m stocking up. The best deal is on this striped sweater with a sailor-inspired collar and chic gold buttons. But you also can’t go wrong with this now-$32 mockneck top (the perfect elevated basic), this flowy blouse with a tied-waist, the Barbie-esque Tweed Lady Skort, or this lightweight and dressy sweater skirt.

Rue La La Birkenstock Sale
Gizeh Narrow Birko-Flor Sandal
Rue La La
Rue La La is ushering in spring by quietly marking down tons of Birkenstock sandals. (To access the sale, all you need is an email.) The best deal is on these Gizeh sandals in an outfit-elevating silver. But you can also save on the brand’s famous Arizona sandals and the always-sold out Boston clogs, which have become a supermodel staple. Since sizes are already limited, I’d make sure to secure your favorite ASAP.

Amazon Early Big Spring Sale
Levi’s 725 High-Rise Bootcut Jeans
Amazon
Amazon’s Big Spring Sale officially starts next week, but there are plenty of early deals for anyone looking to get a headstart. While there’s plenty to pick from, the deals that stood out to me include this Hanes sweatshirt that starts at $7, Levi’s leg-elongating bootcut jeans, and Reebok’s cool-girl sneakers. But there are sales beyond just fashion, with discounts on Apple’s AirPod Max headphones, a popular hair growth oil, and a wrinkle-correcting body lotion.
