Face it: Pumpkin-spice season is basically here. And pretty soon you’re going to have your annual post-summer freak-out over having to wear pants again / having nothing to wear. Luckily, there are Labor Day sales. Right now is best time to shop for the things that’ll keep the panic to a minimum — fall pieces such as chunky sweaters, boots, and maxi skirts that can help bridge that weird transitional weather time.
Here’s where to shop to get what you need (and maybe a few things you don’t need because why not). Read on to see our picks.
Saks Fifth Avenue
Saks Fifth Avenue has up to 70 percent off designer handbags from Mansur Gavriel, Coach, Staud, Moschino, Proenza Schouler, and Marc Jacobs, to name a few. This one can survive the elements.

This leather crossbody is the perfect size for your everyday essentials and 30 percent off.
Denim brands such as Levi’s, Frame, Citizens of Humanity, Agolde, and Re/done are nearly half off and will keep your legs from getting cold when, you know, it gets cold out.
