As we enter the season, I start to focus on revamping my autumn collection. I have already inspected my wardrobe, deciding what to keep, what to give away, and what I still need. After being fixated on Madewell's pre-fall collection just a week ago, it feels like the universe has granted my wish with the retailer offering significant discounts on numerous items perfect for the upcoming fall season.

The Labor Day Weekend Sale at Madewell has arrived and it offers great deals on both discounted items and newly released clothing. Currently, you can enjoy a 30 percent discount on certain new arrivals and an additional 40 percent off sale items by using the code COOLDOWN. Being someone who used to work for Madewell and always took advantage of the savings, I couldn't resist filling up my cart during this sale.

Out of the numerous items available at a reduced price, there are 10 particular ones that I find myself repeatedly drawn to. Among them are leather slip-on shoes which have a remarkable discount, fashionable wide-legged jeans that are gaining popularity, and a highly popular autumn sweater that sells exceptionally well.

When I saw that the Conway Pullover was included in the sale, I immediately added it to my shopping cart (in the colors baby blue and garnet stripes — oops). This sweater is made of cotton and according to shoppers, it doesn't pill, stretch, or itch. It has an oversized, vintage-inspired appearance with a rolled crew neck and dropped shoulders, which gives it a relaxed and cool-girl vibe. One person described it as very comfortable but still looking polished. Shoppers have summed it up as a "must-have" item in their wardrobe — one that can be worn with anything from trousers to jeans, and even sweatpants. The Conway Pullover has been known to sell out quickly, and since this is the first time Madewell is offering it in solid colors, it's advisable not to wait too long to make a purchase.

This autumn, I have a strong preference for wearing only wide-leg pants. The fashion is extremely comfortable, flattering, and predicted to be the most popular denim trend of the year. Celebrities like Eva Longoria and Katie Holmes have been seen wearing them on multiple occasions. I already own Madewell's Super Wide-Leg jeans (which are also discounted by 30%), but during this sale, I plan on purchasing the more sophisticated Harlow pair. These trousers have a more tailored appearance due to the subtle pleating at the hips, which a customer with a curvier figure described as "subtle and...very flattering." Shoppers have also noted that this small detail gives the pants a more formal and elegant style, making them suitable for dressing up. One person even mentioned that they are perfect for professional settings. In terms of comfort, shoppers have mentioned that these jeans are incredibly soft and smooth, almost like butter.

I'm absolutely obsessed with this cute little slip dress! I'm planning to wear it non-stop from the minute it arrives until autumn comes to an end. Madewell really nailed it by designing a print that works perfectly for the transition from summer to fall. The loose fit and lightweight fabric make it ideal for this time of year. I'll be rocking it with sandals or sneakers during the remaining summer days, and when fall arrives, I can easily switch to knee-high boots and a big blazer to keep warm. What's even better is that this dress comes in five different colors, all of which are currently on sale (and four of them have an extra discount!).
