This weekend, you don’t have to hit pause on the Valentine’s Day romance to hunt for Presidents’ Day deals, because I found some really good early sales that you can shop right now. At Madewell, all markdowns are on double discount: My favorite wide-leg jeans and this cozy V-neck sweater are now less than $50, and these outfit-elevating metallic Mary Jane pumps are 76 percent off.

J.Crew’s Presidents’ Day sale is where you’ll want to snag early spring staples; not only are markdowns an extra 50 percent off, but the brand also slashed prices on just-dropped styles. The items I’m immediately adding to cart include this $27 slip skirt that’s loved by more than 850 shoppers and this versatile puff-sleeve midi dress. And as the owner of this Christopher John Rogers X J.Crew satin bustier, I highly recommend snagging it while it’s on double-discount. The rich-looking top is the perfect pop of color for spring.

The final stop on my early-deals tour is Nordstrom, where I found deals on celebrity-worn footwear and cozy transitional staples. That includes these low-top sneakers from Autry (a brand Katie Holmes wears on repeat), Good American’s cool-girl cargo pants, and Eileen Fisher’s buttery-soft cotton sweater.

Shop more deals at Madewell, J.Crew, and Nordstrom before they disappear.
