Dress Like a French Woman

A Parisian-inspired one-page style guide for effortless, everyday dressing.

French-Inspired Memorial Day Sales

Want to know what to buy during the Memorial Day Sales? Here’s a list of French-inspired Memorial Day sales to help you decide. Memorial Day weekend always signals the start of summer, warm weather, longer days, and patio season.

There are so many sales happening this weekend, it can seem a bit overwhelming. I’ve narrowed down my favorite ones, places I shop, and pieces I’ve bought to help inspire you.

How To Shop The Sales

Think about pieces you need or ones that have been on your wish list. Don’t buy something just because it’s on sale. Use this time to invest in some quality items which are classic and timeless and you can wear for years to come.

Take it from French women and their philosophy of buying better quality and buying less. Focus on using these French-inspired Memorial Day sales as a way to elevate your closet and feel great all summer long.

French-Inspired Pieces To Shop

  1. J.Crew Skinny Flare– My favorite pair of flare which I own in the white and resin colors.
  2. MANGO Tweed Jacket– Chic and classic tweed jacket that you can wear all year long.
  3. A.P.C. Small Grace Bag– Love this A.P.C. bag which looks designer but at an amazing price. Snag this bag for summer.
