The end of July is a signal that fall is near, which makes me both excited and a little sad. There’s always so much to look forward to – like all the pre-fall releases and the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. However, it also means that summer is coming to an end – and the days won’t last as long. Although this year has looked differently, I can honestly say it has been a productive past few months. Fashion-wise, I indulged in dresses, took advantage of all the great designer sales and splurged on some investment-worthy pieces. Based on the pieces you guys shopped most last month, I think it’s clear that you’re finding my designer sale round-ups helpful, which I’m so happy to hear. If you’re curious as to which products my readers loved this month, keep reading to find out!
