10 Must-Have Pieces Now 60% Off

Every time we do a new markdown, I scratch my head and think to myself: Why is this left? It really makes no sense to me. I get that sizes are dwindling and we may not have the exact item a customer wants in the size they need. That is the nature of a sale. But I just think there has to have been someone who has walked through the doors and had a Goldilocks moment. Something has to be just right.

We just marked all sale shoes, clothing, and accessories to 60 percent off, and there are so many items that I have in my own closet. So I thought I would share my top 10 picks. They're my top picks because I own and wear them—in fact, I've worn all of them this spring and summer.

1) The Allude Overshirt
Reg. $445 | Sale $178

We did an entire post about this trend—the oversized knit overshirt. It's such a great way to add some interest to your look and is easy to wear into fall as well.

2) Leon Tote by Jerome Dreyfuss
Reg. $800 | Sale $320

This really is the perfect tote bag. I use it all the time for travel and work.

3) Metal Handle Rhea by Mansur
Reg. $695 | Sale $278

I get that maybe this isn't the most practical purchase, so that's why it's so great that it's now on sale. I love the shape and the metal handle.

4) Medium Belt with Molded Mussel Buckle in Dakota by TWP
Reg. $445 | Sale $178

I am obsessed with this belt. I really started wearing belts more this year, and it just helps bring an entire look together. You won't regret this purchase—I promise. I wear it all the time.

5) Marlowe Floral Leather Appliqué Top by Ulla Johnson
Reg. $1,800 | Sale $720

I realize this top is an investment, even at 60 percent off, but it is gorgeous. I hesitated when I placed the order, but I loved it too much to pass it up.

6) Patchwork Twill Slicker Jacket by Tibi
Reg. $995 | Sale $398

I do not know why this jacket did not sell, but as I write this, we have all but one size left. It is one of the most versatile jackets around. The sleeves zip off to turn it into a vest, and it has a double zipper for easy styling.

7) Ecru Chino Pant in Khaki by Nicholson & Nicholson
Reg. $374 | Sale $150

This is a new brand to the store, and I was so pleased with its success. These may look like a regular pair of khakis, but when you feel the fabric and see the construction, you'll know they are elevated pants of the highest quality.

8) Ultra Light Silk Tencel Shirt by Tibi
Reg. $495 | Sale $198

Most Tibi shirts fly off the racks, and I was shocked when this one didn't. I wore it all the time, and I will say that once customers saw it on, they realized how great it is. It is the most flattering shade of blue and a great lightweight fabric for the warmer months.

9) Reelwind by Autry
Reg. $275 | Sale $108

We have so many Autrys left—it's crazy. Clearly, I loved the Reelwind style more than everyone else! I promise it is so comfortable, and you can walk all over town in them without your feet hurting.

10) Cove Top with Embroidery in Crème by Ulla Johnson
Reg. $490 | Sale $196

Early on in retail, someone told me to be careful about reordering items that sell out. This shirt sold out in just a few days when we first got it in, so I reordered it. Well, now that shipment is 60 percent off. It is so comfortable and cute, and I can't believe it is still here.

So stop in and shop our newest markdowns. We still have so many great items left, and be sure to check out our new arrivals as well. It's hard to believe we're unpacking fall when it's 100 degrees outside, but we are!

Owner | The Shoe Hive/The Hive

I spent the first part of my career as a copywriter who helped elected officials brag about their support for entrepreneurs. Then I decided to get off the printed page and do it myself. The Shoe Hive made a splash on the fashion scene in Washington, and was named the region’s best shoe store in its first year. Fourteen years later, I have tripled the store’s size and also opened a sister store, The Hive.  At The Hive, we offer clothing lines that are sophisticated and approachable like Rag & Bone, Tibi, Raquel Allegra, Ulla Johnson and Veronica Beard. We have tried to fill our racks with clothing you will want to wear all the time, elevated basics that are worth the investment.
