Memorial Day Deals

I’m so excited to share that I’m now on LikeToKnowIt! Since there are so many great deals happening this weekend in celebration of Memorial Day, I thought a quick roundup of a few items I’ve been eyeing would make a great post to announce this new chapter for the blog!! From my favorite jeans to a vacuum cleaner, I’ve pulled together some of the sales I’ve been watching this weekend below.

JEANS

These white jeans are only $16.80 today! (You’ll see the discount at checkout.) Like most ladies out there, I have found a certain type of jean that I like and if I deviate from that style/cut/etc. in the slightest bit, it’s just not the same. I had bought some white jeans earlier in the year for our honeymoon and when they came in they didn’t fit quite right but I thought they just needed to be worn/washed a few times to break them in. The biggest issue was that I have tiny calves and unless jeans are “super skinny” they look like mom jeans on my legs and even certain types of “super skinny” jeans don’t work for me - as I’ve discovered - so I now read the fabric makeup of them before buying now lol. This pair of Mid-Rise Rockstar Super Skinny Jeans in Bright White is made up of 91% cotton, 8% polyester, 1% spandex.

My other favorite wash for these jeans is even CHEAPER today ($13.20 after discount)! I love the Mid-Rise Rockstar Super Skinny Jeans for Women in regular short. This color is called Rinse and I love the contrast of the stitching on these dark jeans. I just love dark jeans so much. I wear them year round. I love that these have a little stretch and fit so well. These jeans are 71% cotton, 20% polyester, 8% rayon, 1% spandex. (Slightly less cotton than the same jeans in white!)

Note: Rakuten users - you can get 6% cash back on Old Navy purchases today!

COMFY DRESSES

Another Old Navy find, some comfy swing dresses are only $8 and $15 today! I could live in these all summer. They’re cute and yet you feel like you’re in PJs. You can dress them up or down and they’ve got some any cute prints and solid color options. I loved the black and white stripes in the short sleeve dress and navy with polka dots in the sleeveless. I have bought this dress in both regular size and petite size and I do prefer the length of the petite swing dresses over the regulars size but it’s generally pretty hard to snatch up petite dresses on sale, they go so fast it seems. I’m 5’1 and the petite swing dresses from Old Navy hit a little above my knee where as the regular size are like right at my knee.

AIR PODS

So I’ve had my eye on some Air Pods for a while now and I’ve put off buying any. There are some great deals on the latest model of Air Pods both with the wireless charging case and with the regular wired case. So let me break down my findings:

Walmart has the best deal on Air Pods: Air Pods with wired charging case for $139 and the Air Pods with the wireless charging case for $169. For less than a dollar more, Target has the Air Pods with wired charging case for $139.99 and the Air Pods with the wireless charging case for $169.99. Best Buy is also selling the Air Pods with the wired charging case for $139.99 but they can’t compete on price for the set with the wireless charging case ($179.99). (If you go the route of Best Buy, Rakuten is offering 1.0% cash back today!)

I’m on the fence about buying these today or possibly waiting until the holidays. I know I will use them every day once NYC opens back up and we are using the subway more and just out and about but right now, I don’t really need them - everywhere I go, Darrell is typically with me these days and we don’t venture far so I’m usually talking to him, not listening to music/podcasts or on the phone.

The whole reason I want them is because I see how amazing they’ve been for Darrell, especially when working out. But again, we aren’t going to the gym any time soon so it seems like a big purchase at this time when there are other items like this next one I’m about to tell you about, that we could really use right now.

DYSON V8 ANIMAL

Ahhh! You guys! We ordered one! Huge thanks to Darienne at Happily the Hensleys for the heads up on this sale. Target has the Dyson V8 Animal Cord Free Vacuum for $299.99 today! My sister is a big fan of her Dyson V8 Animal Cord Free Vacuum and when I lived with her for a couple months, I had the chance to use it and loved how it worked on hardwood, tile, etc. plus cordless vacuums are SO NICE! (Side note: How did I get here? At an age where vacuums are so exciting?) Anyway, we have tried a few other vacuums for pet hair and nothing had done a sufficient job. So in the back of my mind I’ve been considering “investing” in a Dyson but they’re so dang expensive. (Probably because THEY WORK!) But this deal was so good and we are at our wits end with Penny hair so we ordered it! I’ll probably do a follow up on post just about the Dyson later on, I know Darienne recently got a Dyson and did a review as well if you’re looking for additional insight!!

JACK ROGERS

I live in Jack Rogers from like April to October. I love them so much and I wear them with EVERYTHING!! Jack Rogers has a huge sale right now on so many goodies including a black pair of Jacks similar to the ones I’m wearing today for only $79! (And Rakuten is doing 1.5% cash back today for Jack Rogers purchases!)

Anywho! I’m super excited to now be on LikeToKnowIt and to be able to share more goodies with you! As an avid blog reader, I enjoy affiliate links in blogs so I hope you will to! Please follow me on the LikeToKnowIt app to shop my posts even easier!

P.S. My jacket is 50% off today at Loft when you use the code SUMMER!
