Summer might still be here, but I'm already looking forward to fall fashion. However, dressing for the transitional weather period is tricky at best. Mornings are cold, and the weather often heats up by mid-day, confusing me (and my wardrobe). And with changing fall trends, I'm stuck refreshing my sweater and boot lineup on a budget.
Luckily, there are plenty of sales going on across the internet as retailers gear up for the new season. After some scrolling, I found everything on my checklist for less. From lightweight fall jackets that are easy to throw on to comfy loungewear and fall-ready dresses, these are the pieces I'll grab in the upcoming weeks. I even found a jacket worn by none other than Katie Holmes. Keep scrolling to shop all of my favorite on-sale transitional finds, and be sure to use Marie Claire's exclusive coupons for an even bigger discount.
This suede bomber jacket is a whopping $400 off, making it one of the best deals I've seen recently. It's the same suede Mango jacket Katie Holmes wore in May so that you can steal her style for a fraction of the price. Save even more with one of our Mango promo codes.
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is still going strong, and these ballet flats are one of our favorite finds in the sale. With their streamlined design and luxe leather fabrication, you'll want to wear these flats every day. Save even more with one of our Nordstrom promo codes.
