I Find the Best Deals, and These Are the Only July Fourth Sales I'm Shopping

I plan to dedicate most of the long holiday weekend to relaxing, but before that happens, I’m quickly shopping three Fourth of July sales that are so good, I simply can’t wait. The first one on my list? Madewell's sale-on-sale, where on-sale items are now an extra 30 percent off with the code COOLDOWN. While I plan to do a pretty major haul, the first thing I’m grabbing is this floral midi dress that features a small but sexy cutout detail. The 100-percent cotton style is comfortable but elevated—meaning I’ll be wearing it pretty much everywhere—while the floral pattern is going to be perfect for vacation.

The next sale I’m shopping is Coach Outlet’s Fourth of July Sale, where hundreds of the brand’s bags are now up to 75 percent off, including the Jelly Morgan crossbody. According to shoppers, the bag is the “perfect size” for everyday and seriously durable. But what I most love is the vibrant color; that chili red is going to pop against all of my summer whites.

Finally, I’m making a quick stop at Nordstrom to save on summer shoes while they’re on rare discount ahead of the retailer’s Anniversary Sale. Pretty much every style you can think of is on sale—metallic Mary Janes, white sneakers, sandals with arch support—but what I’m here for are these Tory Burch flip-flops. Between those red straps and that statement gold hardware, my basic outfits will never be boring again.
