The minute I catch wind of an upcoming Amazon Prime Day event, I immediately go into shopping mode. In advance of the usually epic sales, I like to compile a virtual cart filled with all the pieces I have been eyeing recently. This comes in handy the day that the Amazon Prime Day sales go live, as I can easily see which of the endless deals might apply to my top picks. From there, I am able to seamlessly check out before any of my favorites sell out.
Not only does this approach have me ready to go the day that Amazon Prime Day starts, but it also keeps me focused on what I really want so I can avoid any unnecessary impulse buys. Right now, my main focus with the fashion sales is to scoop up a variety of chic, elevated pieces that help create an expensive-looking closet. This includes a variety of elegant basics like tank tops and button-down shirts, cool dresses, trendy shoes, and so much more.
Scroll on to shop 31 elevated fashion picks that I am keeping an eye on in anticipation of the Amazon Prime Day sales.
