I don't usually complain about sales, but right now, there are simply too many of them for even the most seasoned sale shopper to keep track of. In times like these, you have to figure out how to prioritize and accept the fact that, no matter how hard you try, you probably can't shop them all. But don't fret—I did some digging, and out of all the markdowns happening at the moment, there are only really three worth investing your time in. Those are the ones taking place at J.Crew, Madewell, and Banana Republic. Intrigued? I thought you might be.
Here's everything you need to know: Over at Banana Republic, from now until May 5, all items found in the sale section are an extra 20% off. Trust me—there are good spring pieces to be discovered there. Once you've found what you're looking for there, head over to Madewell and J.Crew, where big discounts are being doled out until May 6, respectively. On Madewell's side, sale items are as marked, and J.Crew is doling out an extra 30% off sale styles when you use the code EXTRA30 at checkout. Here's the best part: I went ahead and found the best pieces from all three sales and rounded them up below. Thank me later.
