Most former places of employment I tend to avoid, like the retail job I worked in high school, which I still haven’t stepped back inside. Fortunately, that’s not the case for Madewell; I was a fan of the brand before working there, became obsessed during, and still wear and shop it on-repeat years later. And right now during its sale-on-sale, I’m once again stocking up while spring must-haves are up to 79 percent off.

Now through April 8, select sale items are an extra 30 percent off with the code FORYOU, so of course I started loading up my cart. Here’s everything I’m eyeing from the spring sale — from best-selling classic tees to slip dresses and even leather bags — starting at just $6.

Pleated Short-Sleeve Top

Buy on Madewell.com $73 $21

This pleated top is perfect for spring thanks to its floral print, loose short sleeves, and slightly cropped fit. I love how it could be worn casually with a pair of jeans or dressed up for work with high-waisted trousers or a slip skirt, and shoppers agree: “It goes with anything from slacks to shorts to jeans,” said one person regarding the blouse’s versatility, while another wrote that they’ve worn it both to the office and on dates. Plus, “the cut and fit are gorgeous and the fabric is soft,” they raved. And at 71 percent off, it’s a must-buy.

The Rosedale High-Rise Straight Pant

Buy on Madewell.com $118 $49

Pleated trousers are the cool-girl staple every wardrobe needs; they can instantly elevate even the most basic wardrobe staples, including cropped tees and classic white sneakers. So why not grab the Rosedale pants shoppers call “chic” while they’re on sale for $49. They’re available in four shades, including a white version that’s perfect for spring and summer and is a favorite for its fit, feel, and style. “These are super flattering but also as comfortable as pajamas. I look totally pulled-together,” said one fan of the pants, while another wrote that you “feel like you are wearing sweats, but you look classy and professional.”

The Layton Midi Slip Dress

Buy on Madewell.com $110 $42

Slip dresses are a forever spring and summer staple — they’re easy but still elegant — so I’m grabbing the Layton style while it’s just $42. The dress features a V-neck, spaghetti straps that cross in the back, and a straight silhouette that shoppers say “falls on the body so flattering[ly].” “It fits me like a glove,” wrote someone else, while another fan called it “perfect” all around. “The fabric is soft, I love the [color], and I’m never in fear of a nip slip,” they raved — though shoppers do recommend sizing up if you have a larger chest. And while I’m personally eyeing the purple striped style (it’s so classic for spring!), the dress is available in three other colorways, including a basic black and a glamorous silver.
