I don't mean to burst your bubble, but if you think you can make it through summer without snagging at least one (or more) cute pieces from Madewell, you're not-so-sadly mistaken. You see, a major Madewell sale is happening right now, and resisting the urge to shop it is highly unlikely. Through July 10, the brand is offering an *additional* 30 percent off sale styles when you use code COOLDOWN at checkout, which means you can score a boatload of summer fashion pieces for up to 70 percent off in total—and I doubt you'd want to pass that up.

I, for one, love a good sale on sale, so I'll be filling up my cart with this trendy crochet-knit tank (was $70; now from $38) and these sleek Rosedale pants (were $118; now from $28) while they're priced way below $50. Yes, the deals are *that* good. After peeping the seven best finds below, don't be surprised if you shop the sale twice this week—I know I'll be.

I consider this crochet-knit tank a summer must-have, and it isn't just because of its trendy style. It's all about the top's semi-sheer cotton fabric, which will feel light and breezy on even the hottest days, and looks great over your fave swimsuit or worn over a base layer. Not to mention, shoppers rave over its drapey cut that doesn't feel too fitted. So, as I said, this top is a *must,* and starts at just $38.

Of course, you can't skip the jeans at Madewell, especially this high-rise pair, which is cinched at the waist and has a little more room in the hips and thighs, in order to give you an hourglass shape. Um, yes please! I'm also a fan of the lighter wash for summer, but here's why one shopper is obsessed with them: "I was hesitant to go for [this] curvy version because I'm only moderately curvy, and I didn't want drastic stretch or to have unflattering thigh cut. The fit was *perfect* at the waist; no gapping at all! [They're true to size], and the fit didn't compromise anywhere to get the perfect [snatched] waist." BTW, they're made with just a touch of elastane for some stretch, but fall in line with PureWow's go-to 3 percent denim rule, so they should hold their shape over time.

Need some new sandals for the season? I highly suggest you grab this versatile pair you can match with nearly anything. And it doesn't hurt that the upper is made of soft, smooth leather for a truly luxurious look (and feel). Even better, the block heel is only 2 inches high, so you shouldn't have a problem getting around in them without teetering. Throw in the brand's MWL Cloudlift Lite padding that's designed to make you feel like you're walking on clouds, and I'd say you won't find a better summer shoe—especially at this price.

Of course, I couldn't make it through this sale without scooping up another vacay-worthy linen dress. Yes, this beauty's made from 100 percent linen, which will feel ultra-light even on hot, humid days out. And besides its incredible feel and super cute silhouette, the stunning floral print is perfect for donning to a beachside dinner—now all you need is a straw hat (was $40, now from $10) and some comfy sandals (were $98, now from $59) to go with it, and you're set!

If you're looking for a pair of denim shorts that are actually comfy, I have some good news for you. This paperbag pair's outfitted with a stretchy waistband you're sure to love. But don't just take my word for it—shoppers say they're *absolutely perfect.* As one reviewer shares, "These shorts are absolutely perfect in my mind, you won't regret purchasing! The quality is great and, for the price, you can't go wrong. [They're] forgiving and stylish. It gives a put-together look without the restricting feeling of a normal button jean short waistband...These shorts run [true to size]!" With rave reviews like this, I suggest adding them to your cart before they sell out.

Prepare to ditch your basic tees for this soft micro-rib sweater option, which has a slim, curve-hugging fit, per the brand. One reviewer adds that it's a, "Great shirt that's a little dressier thanks to the material. This ran true to size for me. Since it's thinner than a regular cotton T-shirt, it's especially nice for the summer heat." Say no more—I'm picking up this top ASAP while it's still in stock (and, OK, maybe in more than one color).

Whether you need some new work pants or are interested in getting the most bang for your buck during this sale, look no further than this sophisticated pleated pair. They have a high waist and are made with a wrinkle-resistant recycled polyester crepe material, so they should stay looking effortlessly chic all day long. Not to mention, one buyer says they drape just right and didn't shrink in the dryer, so really, how can you walk away? I'm already planning to wear them from the office to dinner this season.
