It’s finally a looong weekend (though not long enough, tbh), and I’m so excited to have an extra day off of work! Do you have any plans for the weekend? I haven’t really done much of anything outside of the house since the start of the pandemic besides seeing family every once in a while, and this weekend I have plans with my mom and aunt to attend an outdoor paint and cider class. I’m looking forward to it while also still extremely nervous! I still haven’t felt comfortable eating outside on a restaurant patio.

We had a couple of days of cooler weather—a little taster of fall before it hits 100°F again this weekend, sigh—and I got the chance to break out one of my favorite outfit combos: long sleeved tee + shorts! I love wearing long-sleeved tees, sweaters, and sweatshirts with shorts, and there aren’t enough days that are the perfect temperature for that combo so I wear it as much as I can. Now that I’m WFH, I can take full advantage of those perfect days and wear that combo more often! This tee is an oldie but goodie; the alternating navy and red Breton stripes are *chef’s kiss* perfection, and I love that it’s heavier than a typical tee.

Since there are so many sales happening this Labor Day weekend and it can feel overwhelming to sort through them all, I went ahead and rounded up a few that I’m browsing myself. These are all retailers that I hope make it through the pandemic! Are you planning to shop any LDW sales?
