Each year, I look forward to Memorial Day weekend because it means two things: the (unofficial) beginning of summer and epic sales. But since I’ll be spending the holiday weekend at a wedding, I decided to get a head start on my shopping spree.

Levi’s Mid-Length Denim Shorts
Buy on Amazon $50 $30
I’ve always had a hard time finding a pair of jean shorts that aren’t too short, but don’t fall into the category of Bermuda shorts, so when I saw these Levi’s mid-length cutoffs, I immediately added them to my cart. On sale for $30, the denim shorts fit all my criteria; they’re long enough to cover your butt, feature a flattering high waistband, and are slightly stretchy for a comfortable fit. And according to a reviewer, they “don’t ride up when you walk.” Choose from 22 washes and sizes 24 through 40 plus.
Zesica Tie-Strap Smocked-Bodice Maxi Dress
Buy on Amazon $67 $45
On hot and humid days, a flowy dress is often the most comfortable option. That’s why I grabbed this stylish Zesica maxi that’s on sale for $45 with an on-site coupon. The sleeveless dress has adjustable tie straps, a shirred elastic bodice, and a long, flowy skirt with side pockets and a ruffled hemline. It’s made from a breathable material that’s “lightweight” but “not see-through,” per a reviewer, and comes in 24 colors. I’ll be wearing this breezy maxi dress with sneakers and sandals all summer long.
The Drop Listilla Espadrille Wedge Sandal
Buy on Amazon $50 $38
Speaking of sandals, I’ve got my eye on these under-$40 espadrille wedges from Amazon’s in-house brand, The Drop. With multiple bridal showers and rehearsal dinners on my calendar this summer, I need a versatile pair of sandals like these to throw on with my dresses—plus, they’d look great with jeans and a blouse for a casual night out. According to a reviewer, they’re “super comfortable and great quality,” meaning I can wear them for hours at a time without worrying about achy feet.
EltaMD UV Daily SPF 40 Tinted Face Sunscreen Moisturizer
Buy on Amazon $41 $33
In the beauty department, I was thrilled to find the EltaMD tinted face sunscreen on sale for less than $35. I’ve been using the brand’s non-tinted face SPF for years, so I’m excited to try the tinted version for a summertime glow. The formula absorbs quickly and doesn’t leave a white cast or have that overpowering sunscreen smell. Plus, it’ll protect my skin from UV rays and even out my complexion at the same time—a win-win.
Dyson Outsize Cordless Vacuum Cleaner
Buy on Amazon $600 $400
As for my splurge of the sale, I’m replacing my old vacuum with the Dyson Outsize cordless vacuum that’s now $200 off its original price. The cleaning device has a few key features that make it stand out: an extra large bin, powerful suction, a wide head that covers more space with each stroke, and up to 60 minutes of running time on a single charge. It also converts into a hand-held vacuum cleaner with the included attachments. As a self-proclaimed neat freak, I’m embarrassingly excited about all the cleaning I’m going to do with my new Dyson vacuum.
