Most online retailers have a year round sale section.
Most online retailers have a year round sale section. Such is not the case with La Garçonne. So as you can imagine, its Spring/Summer sale is a special treat. The sweetest pieces we're after are Alexander Wang's boxy oversized romper ($396, originally $565), VPL's drogue knit top ($228, originally $325) and Rachel Comey's winnie slingback wedges ($242, originally $345). There are also a few baby clothes for those fashion forward tots in your life.

Online Sale Alert! End of Summer Sale at La Garconne

When I checked out La Garconne's end of Summer sale, I expected to stock up on warm weather items.

When I checked out La Garconne's end of Summer sale, I expected to stock up on warm weather items. Surprisingly, the 30 to 70 percent off discount also includes a slew of Autumn-friendly items. Now that's a double whammy.

These Les Prairies De Paris L'Effronte Peep Toe ($195, originally $390) would look great with a pair of black trouser socks. Scrunched, of course, and paired with a skirt and long cardigan to get that sexy librarian look.
