Happy Labor Day, friends! I hope you’re enjoying your long weekend. We don’t have any plans today, so I’m hoping to get my closet and master bathroom organized, and I still have to finish unpacking from all of my travels. Meanwhile, I rounded up the most popular blog posts and top sellers from the month of August, and most of them are on sale right now!
I’ve also made a few more updates to my Labor Day Weekend Sale Roundup, so don’t miss that if you’re still shopping for some late summer deals.

#9. MOTHER The Rider High Waist Ankle Slim Straight Leg Jeans (29) // These jeans are so good, and I can’t improve upon the description on the Nordstrom website: “These high-waisted jeans cut from soft stretch denim in a subtly faded dark blue wash are the perfect compromise between straight-leg silhouettes and skinnies.” They were part of the #NSale but are back to full price for now.

#5. KUT from the Kloth Zinnia Patch Pocket Jacket (S) // This jacket is extremely lightweight, so perfect for those in warmer climates who want a nice outfit completer piece for fall. It also comes in grey, and it runs a little small; you may want to try a size up, if in between.

I purchased #2 red Mary Jane’s from Target. I wore them 2x to work last week and received many compliments. They are comfy, too! I’d purchased a pair of red leather Naturalizer Mary Jane’s from Nordstrom Rack for $99, but the red was not a deep red like the Target ones. Thanks for posting about them!
Good luck with your tasks today! I have things I need to do today, but I’m struggling because I heard a snap in my upper left arm on Saturday and it is very painful to extend that arm or put any weight on it. While I didn’t purchase any of the top 10, I am strongly considering the roll neck sweater from GAP Factory. I can’t wait to change over my closet and for the cooler temps to move in for good. When you are sharing footwear with us, I would appreciate it if you could share some that are available in a narrow width, especially the loafers and Mary Jane flats. I would really like to add one of them to my closet, but the medium width just won’t work.
I also purchased the red mary jane’s from Target. They are adorable and really comfy but it’s still too hot here to wear them. September in Georgia is basically just as hot as August and often a lot more humid. Yuck. I also bought the striped Faherty sweater during the NSale but returned it. I felt it was slightly scratchy and was afraid that would make me avoid wearing it. But every time I see a pic of you in it I question my decision and wonder if the scratchy thing was just in my head. Ha!
I am busy trying to gather appropriate travel clothes and shoes for an early November trip to Europe. We are doing a Rhine River cruise and I’m trying to balance things that are comfortable, easy to pack, and weather appropriate while still being at least moderately stylish. It’s trickier than I expected.
Thanks for inspiration
