EDITOR'S NOTE

I’m still racking my brain for the best products to help you save money in the long run. And with summer coming up, I’m overdue for a restock of the usual products I like to buy in bulk, including:

the daily steal
Soma bras

Soma’s $29 Bra Event

From now until Monday, select styles are $29.

The sale Skimm’rs love shopping is officially back, and we’d be remiss if we didn’t tell you about it. You can get up to nearly 60% off select bra styles — including lightly lined and wireless options. Time to retire that one stretched-out bra that’s only showing up because it has to. PS: There’s a five for $15 underwear deal happening too.

Three Totally Random Things

Here are three random products we’re loving this week:

Dr. Scholl’s x Favorite Daughter Heartbreak Sandals

Dr. Scholl’s x Favorite Daughter Heartbreak Sandals

Do we have ugly shoe blindness or are these surprisingly cute?

Quince Italian Plunge One-Piece Swimsuit

Quince Italian Plunge One-Piece Swimsuit

That one-piece you always wore as a kid, but sexier.

Uniqlo Ultra Stretch Dress

Throw this on when it’s too hot out to think.

Strong Feelings

Certain shopping topics can really polarize the masses (raise your hand if you've ever been in a heated discussion about Crocs). The latest debate in our Skimm Shopping group chat: Are the jelly sandals from our childhood good for summer (and appropriate for adults, nonetheless)? We’re breaking down two wearable options that are easy to style:

Melissa Float Flip Flop

Melissa Float Flip-Flop ($79)

Why we love them: Melissa is famous for its jelly-based shoes, and we’d argue that these are the easiest to wear because of the classic thong silhouette. If you’re wanting an attainable jelly sandal that isn’t overly trendy and will last for multiple seasons, go with these.

Note: For half sizes, you’ll want to go for the next size down.

Gap Jelly Ballet Flats

Gap Jelly Ballet Flats ($49.95)

Why we love them: This cage-like silhouette is what you’ll be seeing pretty much everywhere this summer. While the style is bold, we think of them as an everyday statement shoe that can be worn instead of sneakers, flats, or regular sandals. They come in four colors (and are currently 40% off), but we’re eyeing the tomato red shade.

Note: If you’re blister-prone, apply this powdery lotion before you put them on.
